I use Bitbucket at $job. They do have CI/CD now, it's called Bitbucket Pipelines. It's not bad, not great. For better or worse, I always measure version control hosting against GitHub which is still the king in my opinion. There are so many little things that GH has which BB doesn't. When you add them all together, it's easy to see why you'd want to switch to GH or something similar.

Examples:

GH lets you write comments/feedback on a PR and then submit it (sort of like staging the comments) in one fell swoop. With BB, each comment triggers a notification to the PR author.

GH has draft PRs. Debatable how useful these are, but people definitely like them on GH and that's not an option on BB.

GH has built-in support for Mermaid in markdown, BB doesn't and won't ever.

GH Actions generally seem more flexible. BB, for example, doesn't let you call a custom "Pipe" when using your own Mac OS runner in BB Pipelines — something you need to do if you want to build Apple projects — which is just a strange and frustrating limitation.

There are so many other things. In general, BB is just slow and janky as almost all Atlassian products are. Every time you click to complete or submit something, you just experience slowness.

I'd switch to GH in a minute if we could, but our team already uses so much other Atlassian crap that we're kind of stuck with it at the moment.

They introduced Bitbucket Pipelines around when I left, about 7 years ago.

I use it (old self hosted and cloud. Also GitLab and GitHub on a regular basis.)

BitBucket is ok.

It doesn’t have nearly the same feature set as the others. You have to bring on more of the Atlassian ecosystem to get those. The integrations with stuff like Jira and Confluence are solid of course.

The features is does have are well implemented I feel. For example, the PR review UI is great. It is almost as good as GitHub’s and worlds better than GitLab’s. It has great access control that is probably a better fit for enterprise environments than the competition (another area where GitLab is lacking IME).

BitBucket added CI/CD. I’ve used it only for one project. It got the job done, but was worse than the others.

We use Bitbucket Cloud. About 250 repositories, 50-ish with CI/CD functionality. It is sloooow. In 2022 there were more than a few outages. Very annoying. And this year so far I had issues onboarding a new colleague due to invitation emails not being sent out.

Other than that it's cheap by itself, but count in developer hours spent just waiting, and it's suddenly not so cheap after all.

They do have CI/CD

Some companies look like they never moved away from Bitbucket

And now that they have some half-assed CI/CD offering, _some_ companies are moving into it as the first CI/CD tool they've ever used

Yes -- I like it enough that I still use my personal 10 user license at home for work that I do outside of working hours.
