"Great For SVN & Easy Deployment"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Beanstalk?

This is the best code repository solution when working with SVN that I have found. For web development, using Beanstalk has provided the most painless and straight forward experience I've found for auto-deploying your commits to a web server, or even multiple web servers.

User access control and management is a breeze. Marking commits for code review and the ability to tag them with descriptors informs the members of the team what to be looking for while reviewing it which certainly can save some time.

The pricing is good for teams of 20 or more that need 20 or more repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beanstalk?

First off, the UI is pretty ugly in my opinion. And not just in as far as aesthetics but the organization of the information is a bit poor in my opinion.

There is no built-in issue tracking which forces teams to use a 3rd party solutions.

The pricing is bad for anything less than team of 20. Only one free private repo, with 100MB limit, and only one user makes some of it's competitors ahead of the game. I use the free account for one personal project site simply for the beauty of it's auto-deploy capabilities. For me, that is it's one saving grace and really the only reason I still use it for anything instead of other options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Love it!"
5/5
What do you like best about Beanstalk?

As a non Git user coming over from Subversion beanstalk made the transition super easy. It's very secure and very easy to use. Also the in-browser editor and roll back features are just great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beanstalk?

Nothing really. I think it's fully featured and really ahs no downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beanstalk is a solid all-around solution for most deployment and version-control needs"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Beanstalk?

The deployment configuration feature is really great, especially for projects that need to deploy to multiple environments. Team management and access control is pretty well rounded too. The code review feature is also really nice. It has saved me a lot of time in many cases, especially the ability to approve commits, so I can essentially "bookmark" the review for large features in progress. The distinction between a comment and an issue in the code review is also very helpful for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beanstalk?

Performance doesn't seem to scale as well as I'd hope. The UI is kind of ugly and can be difficult to use at times (e.g. doesn't always guide attention to important information, can take a while to figure out where I need to look for certain things). There are too many notifications due to the fact that I get opted into all notifications for all new projects rather than only subscribing me to notifications when I specifically ask for it.

"Simple and easy to use"
3/5
What do you like best about Beanstalk?

I like the ability to handle deployments right inside the software. It's nice not having to use another product. The UI is clean and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beanstalk?

You have to dig a little deep sometimes to get to where you need to be. (errors, settings, etc...) I don't like that I have to have a different login for different teams either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Support, Good deployments, Very Happy Overall"
4/5
What do you like best about Beanstalk?

Their support is always very helpful. Emergency support is extremely fast, always have up to date information when there are (rare) large-scale issues: http://status.beanstalkapp.com/

Deployment system is good. It's very versatile and easy to work with.

Online code editor is also very useful for hot-fixes and quick edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beanstalk?

Their plans are not great for some situations - however, they are actually flexible with them and will make things work for you, so it's not a major complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best SVN for non opensource projects"
5/5
What do you like best about Beanstalk?

The repositories are private and the whole setup process is so much faster then Github. Together with the tortoise windows extension managing multiple repositories with multiple teams is fast and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Beanstalk?

Only thing that I dislike is the price. Even for small teams you have to pay 25 per month which is rather steep unless you can manage with just 5 developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
