"Very functional and easy to get using"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

BitBucket has a ton of features I really like. In particular, in the interface to view all projects/repos, it has very useful grouping and filtering features, making it easy to track down a repo in a long list of repos. The interface is clean and very clear, and fits well on just about any screen. The interface for the project view is clean and well designed. It's obvious where you need to go. I also like how it follows GitHub's convention when it comes to the README.md file. General application admin is easy to do, and the admin panels are very clean and clear. Organizing users and projects is easy. Overall setup to get your users up and running is very simple and quick to do.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

The Recent Activity feed is not as intuitive as GitHub's, and can't be configured. However, this is a minor concern. It does provide updates on projects that you've committed to or that you own.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've removed the need to manage our own source control system in-house. Moving everything to BitBucket saves us time on VCS management, and guarantees better up-time.

"The perfect private GIT repository"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

If you use Atlassian products like Jira and Confluence or do you a have programming team its the best private repository you can have, The price is amazing compared with other similar solutions, Also the perfect GIT connection It's jus great. Also I love all the info and tutorials they send us. Apart the service is the good practices we have learned with them.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

It don't have the well know name for a public repository like GitHub has. Apart it I don't change it. In that way we had all our repos in Bitbucket, public and privates, but now we have moved public repos to Github to get more visibility. But no way to move our private repos to another service.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I searched the best price and features for a GIT private repository for my companies code' solutions.

"Business oriented VCS with unlimited free private repos for all"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

BitBucket offers unlimited free private repos for all which is a big plus over GitHub. Also, the dashboard is easy to use. Repo ownership rights and access are a breeze to setup. When you don't have money BitBucket is the way to go. Awesome Integration with JIRA and also supports Mercurial as well along with Git.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Metrics and other stats present in Github are deeply missed. Integration with code collaboration tools like Slack is limited. Feedback Loops implementation is not upto the mark IMO.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use BitBucket for my personal projects/hobby projects which i don't want to make open. I have multiple apps stored on Bitbucket.

"Best Version Control System for private code repository"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Things i like best - 1. Zero price for hosting private projects with a team of five or less than five. 2. It supports GIT which is the most popular VCS in the industry 3. It easily integrates with JIRA which is a project and issue tracking tool. 4. It provides its own desktop client. 5. Also provides issue tracker. 6. Collaboration with other team members is easy with integration of Hipchat with this platform.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Things that i dislike is that products like JIRA can be integrated but they should be made free for limited number of users or limited time which would make this product very attractive for small teams and later on if they can charge for it after sometime.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

To maintain version control system and manage source code efficiently. By using this it benefits to have team members work from their own place and maintain the code at one single place with versioning system and also collabrate using Hipchat and track all the issues with the source code.

"BitBucket is a great alternative to GitHub and an even better compliment to it"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Unlimited private repos for free was the main thing that drew me to BitBucket several years ago

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

It's not quite as polished as GiitHub but still provides a good user experience

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use GitHub for most of my personal and side projects but have lots of client work that I wanted to move from SVN to Git without paying for high level GitHub subscription. BitBucket has fulfilled those needs while also providing decent 3rd party support and continues to get better.

"Best Source Code hosting for Small Teams"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Compared to GitHub, BitBucket provides free private repository for teams (up to 10 people). This helps get the cost down drastically. Also, it has all the features you expect from a DVCS host.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

I've never fallen in love with the web interface. It works, gets the job done and is intuitive. But I've always felt like it could be better designed.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a small web development shop that builds web properties for diverse clients. BitBucket lets us have centralized git repositories. Support for webhooks and deployment keys make it easy to develop and deploy codebases.

"Great alternative to GitHub"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

5 free private repos, ease of integration with Atlasssian suite. Can use visual tool SourceTree to manage git functions.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Not as "cool" as GitHub, caters to more corporate feel than startup, has had service issues in the past that delayed 3rd part integrations, always resolved though. I wish Bamboo was as easy to use as BitBucket.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Git based version control for multiple repositories with small team of developers. We've been able to scale from a team of two committing to master branch to a small team disciplined in fully utilizing feature, staging, and master branches tied to our Heroku pipeline. SourceTree is a way better client than GitHub desktop and has made using git easy.

"Excellent for version control management"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

A great alternative to Github. Bitbucket provides privates for free. If your moving from github, easy import of repos also available. Bitbucket is needed when development is collaborative or in team. Bitbucket provides all features of Github with better APIs and better prices. Best suited for small teams or individuals.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Generally not suited for open source projects. Github is best for open source. The website is slow to load maybe due to high GUI. Pricing for big teams is high though for small teams it is free of cost. Sometimes confusing if you have shifted from Github.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

For version control management Bitbucket has been used. Bitbucket is best since access to the repo must be private(authorized). Benefits: Free private repos helpful in version control management for teams. ease of integration with Github

"Easy to use source code repository"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

I like the fact that it is very easy to setup and maintain source code repositories. The best feature is the tight integration with the Source Tree application which allows me to manage my local git repositories and sync them with BitBucket.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

I dislike that I can't remember how to easily get to a list of files/changes made for each commit. It would be nice if instead of the file listings being commit based, they were branch based. There should be a list of files and when you select a commit, the files in that commit could be highlighted.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing source code between team members. I have realized that ability which allows all the members on my team to work together to develop software.

"Excellent SCM frontend"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Stash does one thing very well. It makes usage of git for a company or large project easy. It takes away a lot of the specific git server details, and provides a friendly and easy to use front end. Plus, integration with other Atlassian tools is excellent.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

It's not Gerrit. That's about all I have. I think if Stash mimic'd some of what Gerrit does, it would be the perfect tool.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

We migrated from SVN to git, and are using Stash to handle this. So far, with LDAP, we can quickly manage users, work with content, visualize the changes, and work with the other Atlassian tools to get a complete SCM and Project picture with almost no overhead.

"Git Hosting"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

BitBucket is a great open source tool for hosting git projects. BitBucket is very easy to set up initially: you can set up an account via a number of social media accounts - even Github. Hosting is free for private repos, which is nice for me given the small scale of my projects.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

I'm not a huge fan of the the UI, though that might be more because I'm used to Github.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I originally created an account in order to take a coding evaluation, and I've since kept the account for hosting private repos.

"Bitbucket - version control tool"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bitbucket has a smooth integration with other attlasian products particularly JIRA. It is a great tool for code collaboration and flexible cd/ci options makes it even better. It helps streamline development flow.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

One downside of bitbucket that I found was that it has a cluttered interface. It was overwhelming for me to use in the start. Its performance with larger repos is an issue too sometimes.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its connectivity with JIRA makes tracking code changes with a task very easy and it provides a feature rich solution for managing code. Its third party integrations are also helpful like with slack.

"A tool for a seamless deployments"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

We have been using Bitbucket for all of our clients to maintain their source control and repository management. We are using this for CI/CD and seamless integration and deployments

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

At last there is some tool that I am really happy with. Nothing to dislike at all with this tool. It may not be the best tool for people who are used to the Command line, but definitely a life saver tool.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using this tool for CI/CD management, source control, daily/monthly backups of our live code, peer review and deployments and merge conflicts. It is also easy to resolve any code conflicts as well with this tool.

"Gives you powers of Git in a user friendly way"
What do you like best about Bitbucket?

Bitbucket makes code hosting easy. It is free and easy to start with. It is a great alternative to GitHub. The pricing is decent for teams. I like the CI/CD with BitBucket and how it handles issue tracking and PRs.

What do you dislike about Bitbucket?

Since it is a lesser used platform than github, most colleagues didn't have an account and had to create one to use it. It still doesn't have an alternative to Github actions, codespaces etc.

What problems is Bitbucket solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Bitbucket to host my code and used git features. We collaborated on Bitbucket, raised PRs etc. Our client already had a codebase on Bitbucket. We were accustomed to Github but personally found Bitbucket to have an easy learning curve with an intuitive UI.
