Overall Satisfaction with Bitbucket Server (formerly Stash)

Bitbucket Server is used as our main code repository for our development team. It is a distributed version control system so developers can still commit and track their changes even when they do not have an internet connection, and push the changes later when they are back online. Its pull request feature also lets developers to collaborate and review each other's work before changes are accepted.
  • Simple and intuitive UI.
  • Pull request for code review.
  • Good integration with other systems such as Jira for issue tracking.
  • Enforce rules on commit message format (although you can get this feature via 3rd party add-on), but this should be an out-of-the-box feature.
  • Lack of reporting and graph features.
  • Improved code/product quality through pull request code reviews.
  • Improved productivity since users can keep track of their changes both online and offline.
We started off with Apache Subversion (SVN) and moved over to Git (supported via Bitbucket) as Git itself has started to become the new industry norm. The pull request feature allows developers to perform code reviews without needing another code review application. We settled with Bitbucket instead of GitHub since we were already using Jira and Bamboo, so Bitbucket fits right into our existing infrastructure and tool chain.
Never really needed any support as the application is very easy to set up and maintain. Any questions we had were well documented in their online documentation, and community forum.

Bitbucket and GitHub are the two market leading products when it comes to distributed version control system, or using Git to be specific. You choice is going to come down to what other systems and applications you have in your organization. If you are using other Atlassian applications such as Jira and Bamboo, then Bitbucket would be a better choice due to its deep integrations with them out of the box, and you will get a 1 + 1 > 2 experience.
