Bitbucket vs GitLab Comparison

You can self-host much cheaper than competitors there is free version too Simple than their competitor

Github and Gitlab feature richer Gitlab also support self-host for free Not popular as github or gitlab

Cheaper and better than Github. Awesome integration with Jira and Trello. And the smart commits feature make's the workflow with Jira really smooth for our developers.

I can't find one. Maybe they could improve the markdown just like Gitlab that have a much richer markdown system, the "GitLab Flavored Markdown".

Easy to use; Easy to Share code with other people. Integrates with JIRA. Private repositories unlimited;

Not as rounded or as complete as Gitlab. There is a learning curve to the UI and user management tools.

Great tool especially after they've redesigned most of their UI

The pricing structure, the one in GitLab suits us more

Very easy to use and can integrate other softwares like Slack, Jenkins and others.

No support for custom server like gitlab provide for continuous integration

L'interfaccia è molto intuitiva, sono presenti funzionalità comuni a GitHub e GitLab.

Non mi da l'impressione di essere ben arricchito di funzionalità come GitHub.

- Jira integration - Trello integration - Pricing is a little bit better than GitHub/GitLab

- User interface is very complicated and not intuitive - Setup is quite complex - Not as many third-party integrations as GitHub/GitLab

I like the fact that you can have as many as you want private repositories on different teams without pay anything.

compared with GitLab it have some features missing such as DevOps Tools

Close integration with tools like JIRA is really useful if you're working within the Atlassian ecosystem already, and having free private repositories was always a boon whilst GitHub lacked that functionality.

A broader range of integrations exist overall for GitHub than exist for Bitbucket, so if you're not choosing Atlassian products for everything, you may find that GitHub is a better system. Emerging alternatives like GitLab may also be better if you want an on-premise solution.

It completes all the DEVOPS Atlassian ecosystem, you have a option for server or sas version and you also have a API in order to implement a lot of extensions or inderactions with the repository.

It must implement stuff like Github and Gitlab in order to be more competitive.

I never had any problem with the core functionalities, so I liked the reliability.

We moved to gitlab because permissions and linking to Jira were only half baked.

+ Beginner friendly, easy to use interface. + Great tools for team development. + Integrate with other Atlassian products like jira.

- Has free alternatives such as github or gitlab. - Some offered integrations are not working stable.

Our team is using it for five years and we have a great experience always, never experience downtime, a lot of integrations, great support.

A weird integration between products, if you have JIRA, Confluence or other atlassian products there are differents account that are merged.

It's in the Atlassian family, and as a Product Development leader already deeply immersed in mostly Atlassian products this has been a game changer. It's very user friendly, and not overwhelming to get new folks onboarded. It's clean and easy.

I wish we could have more permissions for structure with our developers. We do have the premium version which is absolutely fairly priced, I just wish it had a bit more control. Haha, but this could just be my opinion.

Allows unlimited private repositories. Unfortunately for them, I discovered GitLab and GitHub now has limited free private repos.

The UI is not as intuitive as it could be. It often takes me longer than it should to find the menu option I am looking for.

- It does everything you expect: pull requests, forking, etc. The feature list is pretty standard for all git systems now. - (Obvious) easily integration with JIRA

- It's getting prettier in newer versions, but it still feel just somehow a little outdated.

You can have free private repositories if you need to share them with other people and don't want to allow those people to access your private git server

I find it a bit less easy to use than github or gitlab but that stay not difficult

- Easier than GitHub and GitLab to navigate through repositories and source code - Nicer website design - Easier to share with collaborators

- Complex to users who have never used version tracking before. But this was not an issue for me.

I really like that it's free for teams of up to 5 people, even on private projects. The Atlassian-style interface looks really modern The mobile clients work really well with it

Lack of free project management tools that competitors like GitLab offer CI platform is hard to use for beginners

Atlassian, Jira, Confluence, BitBucket. Not a lot more to say. GitLab integrates well with Atlassian, but BitBucket is made for it, so there is no possible comparison.

I still feel more confortable with GitLab CI/CD tools, but I do not think BitBucket has anything to dislike.

Great alternative of gitlab and github for git based code app and CI/Cd needs. It fits every feature brilliantly

Often when you log through the git credentials of windows it fails and it doesn't align properly

Good integration with the Atlassian product suite which is helpful if you're in that ecosystem already

Not as popular as things like Git and Gitlab and not nearly as useful if you don't already use Atlassian products

Amongst its competitors (github, gitlab) I find BB to have the most straight-forward user interface while still offering all of the features I need.

Bitbucket just works. It's easy to integrate teams, repos, keys, all the stuff you need to get started and there's plenty of scope for CI/CD for more advanced workflows.

- Clean interface - It offers version control - It offers different tools that make collaboration with other teams members easier. - offers free private repository

The interface can take some time to get used to, especially if you have been using other tools like gitlab or github

Parmi tous les outils de versionning (Git) existant, certainement celui que je recommande en association avec Jira pour la gestion de projets et le ticketing, Bamboo pour l'intégration continue et Confluence pour la gestion documentaire. L'intégration native avec la stack Atlassian est un vrai plus.

Moins pertinent lorsqu'il s'agit de l'utiliser en association avec d'autres outils (Trello, Gitlab...) car les intégrations sont bien souvent incomplètes voire non maintenues.

- allows to setup CI / CD in easy way, gentle learning curve; - ability to install on premises to have a good level of security; - free version;

Don’t think there are huge pain points while using it for my projects, probably one of them could be is the issues I was facing while migration to a newer versions.

+ Gitlab CI/CD pipelines allows to build continuous integration easily + Can be used with standard git client + Unlimited free repositories + Fair licensing for SaaS deployment + Allows to be hosted in house

- Web interface is less intuitive than other GIT repositories (GitHub or Bitbucket)

It's permissions were easier to work with than self hosted bitbucket

The UI took a little while to get used to. The menu changes completely when selecting an option and it kinda throws you off until you get used to it.

Great Git standard support, easily operation (merge requests, etc), good communty support, modern CI/CD integrations.

None cons found so far. The company releases new versions frequently so it keeps improving the product.

Integrates every stage of development life-cycle in a very intuitive user interface.

Sometimes the hosted gitlab.com has outages

Besides creating private repositories without costs, you can host you website for free over gitlab.

In my opinion the UI of this web application is not that clean.

It is a major competitor of Bitbucket. I use it together with Ionic and it works very well

Could allow more users for each repository in the free version

Its quite to easy to view stashed branch and some filter options in the repository. They can improve a bit to stay for the best in the market

At times , using the github & bitbucket in my project. This lags some feature which am seeing in the other repo cloud

We mainly used gitlab as DVCS against other DVCS systems , and mainly used on GitLab the CICD + pipelines. Pretty easy to setup and onboard new projects.

Not as well known vs github and Bitbucket... and integration with documentation and issuemanagement systems is a bit weaker than the alternatives.

Free private repository for you and your team which great feature for startups. The pipelines and hosting ia great and make deployment painless

Some enhancements on ui will be fine, add support to mercurial will be a great step as i wanna to migrate from bitbucket but i can't.

Everything is packed in one place. The issue tracker platform, git repository management, pipelines for continuous integration and continuous development are all managed with one account and are easily accessible on the dashboard. It also supports protected branches, my favourite part is that it is free and open source. It supports integration with other systems via webhooks and the UI is super awesome.

It only supports git unlike bitbucket that has support for Mercurial. It doesn't support windows if you want to install it and not all the features are free.

No doubt this is the best git repo service in the market for free at this moment, I moved from Bitbucket and I'm very happy with the change. The pros for this: Simple UI, every feature in the right place, You can install the entire system in your own server (this is awesome), and tons of apps integrated (this is the reason that I moved from bitbucket), like clickup.

The only cons for this service is the speed, certainly their competitors are faster doing a pull or even a push.

We might be moving everything over to GitLab from Bitbucket because they allow for unlimited team members on unlimited private repos. Our upcoming product already integrates with GitLab for that reason. If our marketplace has BitBucket instead, then we'd easily lose thousands of dollars in our first month! GitLab even open sourced their code in case we want to run our own proprietary servers at some point. How cool is that!

The only things I can think of that might be an issue is that we don't control the permissions that each role has attached to it. However, at this moment we don't need that functionality anway. Also, the docs could use a bit of work. For instance, it doesn't properly explain what each item in the JSON object does, or what values enumerated items have. I often need to fish for that info elsewhere. It'd also be immensely helpful to know the types of responses we'll get when we call it, and what errors to watch out for.

It works just fine, serves for source code and version management and will deliver a nice interface with basic git flow.

It ends up being too simple while some high-level competitors like Github or Bitbucket have a full tool suite for software management in all steps of the process.
