I&#x27;ve used plenty of other options- we even ran an internal GitLab instance prior to moving to BitBucket at my last company. Atlassian&#x27;s suite of products are a safe bet because they&#x27;re generally good products.<p>I like the GitLab feature set more than BitBucket but when I went started my own company it was generally cheaper for my team of 5-8 to use hosted JIRA, BitBucket, and Confluence then it would be for me to pay AWS&#x2F;Rackspace&#x2F;Azure&#x2F;Digital Ocean to run the F&#x2F;OSS equivalents in our cloud environment. BitBucket integrates just fine with Jenkins and the new Project organization was much needed.<p>We may someday move to GitLab or something else, but there isn&#x27;t anything wrong with choosing Atlassian in any way. It&#x27;s not like they&#x27;re an Oracle&#x2F;SAP type company that just abuses their customers and has awful products.
