Bitbucket vs Deveo

BitBucket comes with an integrated issue/tickets management system.

Bitbucket offers unlimited private repositories for free, as long as the number of members in a team is not larger than 5. In other words, it does not charge for each number of private repository, instead it charges by the number of team members.

Atlassian, the company behind BitBucket is also behind SourceTree, a free application for Windows and Mac wich works as a client for both Git and Mercurial and can be connected to BitBucket and/or other code hosting services.

BitBucket supports Twitter, Facebook, OpenID, Google and even GitHub authentication.

JIRA, the widely used project and issue tracker is developed by Atlassian, the same team that's behind BitBucket.

When the two are integrated, JIRA automatically updates issues when a new commit is made in the BitBucket repo.

BitBucket has a feature which allows users to import an existing repository that has been hosted elsewhere.

The process is very simple, either a service is selected from a dropdown menu and then a repo can be chosen and the URL for a repository can be added in the specified field. Once that's done, the repository is now uploade into BitBucket and can be edited, forked and compared to other repos hosted there.

BitBucket supports uploading and hosting static HTML pages for it's users.

Atlassian offers student licenses for both students and educators for Atlassian products that will be used in a classroom setting for education. This includes BitBucket, which means that students and teachers can have unlimited private repositories with and unlimited number of contributors.

BitBucket is developed and maintained by Atlassian, which is not an unknown venture, especially for developers. Atlassian has a great number of other products used by million of users worldwide, including JIRA, HipChat, Confluence and Stash.

You can link BitBucket with your Trello board easily.

Deveo supports Git, Subversion and Mercurial repositories. You can access the repositories through HTTPS and SSH protocols.

In services such as Gitlab and GitHub repositories are not grouped by default. When doing other than open source software development, however, Deveo generally has at least backend and front-end in separate repositories that both connect to the same project. In Deveo, repositories always belong to a project and share the same Wiki and Issue tracking space, which makes it easier to find the project specific information.

You can install Deveo on your own servers, as mentioned above, or use it from Deveo's own cloud instance.

Deveo supports using multiple authentication scenarios. You may use Deveo local user database for simple usage. You can authenticate Deveo against your organization's centralized user directory (LDAP, AD) and you can even integrate it with an SAML2 based single sign-on service.

In addition to Git support, Deveo also supports hosting Mercurial and Subversion repositories. Deveo code reviews also support feature branch workflows using Mercurial bookmarks or branches.

In addition to Git, Subversion and Mercurial repositories, you can host WebDAV based binary repositories in Deveo. WebDAV is a technology that allows you to set up private dropbox type repositories where you can simply drag-and-drop files through OSX finder for example. It's a convenient way to store binary packages, project documentation, specifications and more.

Deveo can be set up in three different modes: combo, where you have everything on one server, high-availability, where you have separated database server, and cluster, where you have multiple web nodes serving the load. The cluster setup has been field-tested with thousands of concurrent users.

Issue tracking in Deveo is better compared to GitHub, Bitbucket or Gitlab. In Deveo you can define arbitrary states for issues, meaning you can model your team's workflow as it is in real life. In addition to arbitrary states for issues, you have free control over priorities and labels that enhance the experience.

Deveo has a project based built-in markdown based Wiki, that allows you to host your project documentation in one place. The whole wiki history is saved to a Git repository, which you can checkout and edit locally if you need. Deveo offers a unique split view for editing the wiki pages, that updates the preview automatically while you write. No longer do you need to guess whether the markdown syntax is right or wrong.

Deveo's cloud is free to use with unlimited private repositories, users, and projects. The free plan includes 1GB of total disk space, and after that the price is 1 euro/GB/month.
