Considered Both Products	Crucible Verified User Anonymous Chose Crucible Not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Back when we were using SVN, Crucible was the go-to solution for code review. As we started moving to use Git and using pull requests (via Bitbucket), code review is now performed by using pull requests exclusively. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crucible Crucible has a better look and feel for developers because it is web compatible and works well with IE or Chrome. Being that it is a web browser friendly, using Crucible is seamless and user-friendly. Github is an external tool on a different environment that requires more … Incentivized Helpful? Craig Solinski Systems Administrator/Programmer Chose Crucible Crucible was first on the market and the price is inexpensive. Crucible integrates with Jira Software and Atlassian Fisheye, providing the ability to track defects efficiently. Sonarqube compares code to 'best standards' but not 'internal standards' and does not integrate to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crucible I think Crucible isn't quite as clean as Stash/Bitbucket, but it does some things better, like seeing individual commits easier. I also like how stash groups all comments on the overview of the Pull Request. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Crucible Gitlab and Github are very comparable to Crucible, and would probably be my first choice if those were the tools used for versioning as they are directly linked to git. Crucible was chosen by a current client and I had no choice in its selection. I would probably have chosen … Incentivized Helpful?	Collaborator No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	Crucible	Collaborator
Likelihood to Recommend	Depends on the version control and devops process your development teams adopt. Git (via Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, etc...) has become the new industry norm, and using pull requests can often provide the same code review features Crucible is used for. However, if you require code review beyond change/diff based (i.e. via pull request), then Crucible allows you to review code with more granular control, such as on per file basis.

Pros	Easily add comments, identify defects, gather peer input. 24/7 input from peers eases developer schedules and location independence. Email notifications filtered by group or individuals provide control of who gets notifications, and who can submit comments.

Cons	It can sometimes be a bit slow to load. A server reboot for us tends to solve that issue. I'm not sure if it is a server issue, or maybe Crucible may have some caching issues. I wish that you could easily stop the review creation process, rather than abandoning it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Good support overall being an Atlassian product, with options including free/paid official support and community provided help. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Gitlab and GitHub are very comparable to Crucible, and would probably be my first choice if those were the tools used for versioning as they are directly linked to git. Crucible was chosen by a current client and I had no choice in its selection. I would probably have chosen GitHub if given a say.

Return on Investment	I am not involved in the acquisition of Crucible so I cannot comment on the financial investment but I believe it is a necessary tool to have in any software shop, small or big. As a developer, having Crucible as the code review process is a great asset and will save time and reduce risks which I believe is a positive return of investment.
