Rant pending...
So our company has been talking about bringing in the full Atlassian suite (JIRA, Bamboo, Bitbucket, Fisheye and Crucible). Anyone familiar with using the entire suite? Just wondering what kind of hell to expect.

@g-m-f
Can you explain a little more about how it was not configured properly and how you think it should be configured to make it better?

We use Jira at work, and as @g-m-f said it's important it is configured right.

We have our bamboo tied to it, so when we write a commit message, it shows up on bamboo, and we can click the ticket then it refrences the Jira ticket from Bamboo.

We use project locker SVN, so I can't comment on bitlocker (I ise bitlocker at home and love it!)

Just make sure all the features are turned on.

That's not really a rant - just a very reasonable question! 😆

Currently use JIRA, Confluence and BitBucket. Have limited use of Crucible in the past. To be honest, they're tools that do a job. You may need to make some adjustments to your team processes and they have their quirks, no doubt.

But I do find the suite as a whole quite good and it all works well together.

We still have Lotus notes 😭

Jira can be a pain if you will be using it on project that oveerlap each other as it is an issue-based system. Also a pain to set-up if you don't know your workflow. Confluence is easy, as you could whip up documentation in secs. Bamboo is a good first-class deployment tool but tedious to set-up.

HipChat integration is good, but HipChat as a product is not the best

BitBucket integration is good. BitBucket (online interface) + SourceTree (desktop interface) is pretty good but in some ways lags behind GitHub. The hosted version of BirBucket does seem to go down a little much for my liking as well (not an issue exclusive to BitBucket).

FishEye and Crucible feel like they should be free parts of BitBucket as they just bring BitBucket up to par with GitHub

I did say rant was pending :)

My company uses the Atlassian suite, and my only real complaint is how slow our stash server is (self hosted)... could be config/hardware related, but if possible I'd stick with the cloud based solutions.

It's actually pretty good. You'll like the fact that everything is tied up together and streamlined.

@nmunro I hope your kidding haha. Google docs would be better

@champion01 I wish I was joking...
