FishEye Reviews

Fisheye is one of the best revision control and best code search engine app owned by Atlassian it easily gets merged with my Jira also using this tool I can search within the app and see what my other team members are doing and also using this tool I can review my team members changes.

at present, I didn't dislike anything. The UI is pretty good it is owned by Atlassian so the support is pretty good but as it is owned by Atlassian license of this software is pretty costly.

Using fisheye I can easily check and review the code of my team members as I can easily open the change in code straight from the Jira and as integrates with Jira it does ease my task.

The ability to leave comments, post updated patches, and integrate with Stash

We started out using stgit to manage patch stacks, and it was awkward to use FishEye/Crucible then.

Code review

In my company, tech-team used to work on Jira to plan, track and report the each stage of development project. But being an Open Source Software and equipped with advance features and different capabilities, we integrated Jira with Fisheye. Now we have better track and monitoring for any changes or revisions in the code.

The best thing about Fisheye is:

1. Tracking is easy as it provides user-level notifications via email.

2. Integration with the traditional software development platforms.

It is not able to compare two different revisions such branches of a folder or two different folders.

It is one of the best software for tracking and following what's happening in the project.

Our users can track any request/ticket raised by them to the support team. Our software development is able to track and visualize any code changes.

It has improved the SLAs for support services to clients.

The GUI is really good and easy to use & understand. FishEye even offers REST API to use which makes automation tasks and the day to day process much simpler and fun to develop. This product aligns well with the Agile Scrum methodologies and keeps you focused on your work. The ability to integrate with multiple other products like Jira and Crucible makes it very versatile.

A few more REST APIs to directly gather the required information with options to filter the search results. Also, it would be helpful to have REST APIs that respond with only the required information instead of all unnecessary information that may not be helpful for the current purpose.

My advice to the users would be to Just Go for it. FishEye is one of the best revision control software that is easy it use, and at the same time very vast in the features it offers. It really helps the team with automation requirements and making the daily development process seamless. If you already use products like Crucible or Jira, then this is an additional boost you can provide to your process.

This product is filled with benefits. It really simplifies the day to day development process by enabling automation through REST APIs. My team uses the FishEye + Crucible combination REST APIs to keep track of the code revisions and any action items pending for each revision.

- Easy to raise review request for assigned issues.

- Easy to go through the modified changes.

A little bit confusing for a beginner to work on it.

The changes done on the code are reviewed using FishEye by specific reviewers which then approve them by giving specific review comments.

Benefits - Add as many reviewers as you want.

- Changes can be easily tracked using Fisheye.

- Gives the option of adding review comments.

great tool for tech peer reviews, our group has used this for many startup projects

nothing i can really say, everything works great so far

easy one stop shop for code reviews.

The integration with FishEye and the other Atlassian tools is fantastic. FishEye is, in particular, one piece of software that makes up the Atlassian Suite of products. FishEye is the revision control piece of the entire suite that supports CVS, git, and subversion. It really integrates nicely with the other tools of the suite, allowing seamless integration with the review tool and issue tracking tool.

As state previously, the FishEye tool is not a free product. If you need a simple, free revision control tool, you could check out BitBucket which is another revision control tool owned by Atlassian.

If you are in need of both revision control and a code review process, the combination of FishEye and Crucible is a fantastic tool for increased productivity and workflow. If you only need revision control, you might want to look into BitBucket which is a great alternative (and free for personal use).

I've used FishEye at my company to backup and share code with fellow teammates and other devices. It has saved our team a couple of times when we needed to roll back to a particular check-in or at least view old code that had been removed. The visual browser that it uses to manage the repository has saved our team countless hours and headache.

Being able to trace the code activities and what is happening throughout the project in one place. Fisheye is highly integrated with other Atlassian products. So that the whole process can be handled smoothly. It is very useful in the code review process.

Sometimes there are some anchoring issues when we are applying our patch to the code base

It is streamlining the process of code activities covering a large scope of software development and maintenance. I think being able to interact with other peers in code reviews and code history tracking time and being efficient are the most satisfying things that I find in Fisheye.

FishEye enhances code visibility and make it a valuable tool for software development.Its a powerful search capability and track code changes over time.FishEye enhances the code review process.. FishEye offers deep insights into your version control systems.also supports a range of plugins and extensions.

Sometimes FishEye is slow especially deing with large repositories.New users find challenging at the time of intital setup..The licensing cost is also high..also supports version control system like GIT,SVN ,so support for new system might be limited.

The problems FishEye address are:- code search and navigation, Visualization, tracking changes and more..

And it's benefitting me like it work along with tools like JIRA, BAMBOO and Bitbucket is to provide view of software development lifecycle.also helps in knowledge sharing within development teams .

Being able to track changes back years and thousands of revisions in a simple manner is absolutely invaluable. Integration between FishEye and Jira is useful, being able to link revisions to issues and vice-versa helps when trying to see why a change was made at a future date.

Paired with a good IDE, FishEye fits practically all of my requirements from a developer standpoint. Whether providing other team members with the tools to prove that it was you who made the erroneous change is a good idea is an exercise for the reader!

Upgrading and installation process for FishEye is a little complex owing to its nature as a Java application. It seems a little voodoo-like at times, but that's just the nature of Java.

Sometimes the integration between FishEye and Jira isn't quite as straightforward as it could be, but this seems to have improved in recent updates.

I'd definitely recommend FishEye to anyone developing or maintaining software out of SVN or similar. The interface is well featured, intuitive and everything works as you'd expect.

We use FishEye as a means of easily reviewing changes done by different members of the team. It's useful to be able to see who changed which line of code and in which revision. We use a pretty old fashioned SVN-based repository, and FishEye handles this well without us needing to forklift replace the existing repositories.
