BinTray vs GitHub Enterprise: What are the differences?
BinTray: Deploy jar and binary files to a public server. Easy integration with Maven, Gradle, Yum and Apt. Bintray offers developers the fastest way to publish and consume OSS software releases. With Bintray's full self-service platform developers have full control over their published software and how it is distributed to the world; GitHub Enterprise: The on-premises version of GitHub, which you can deploy and manage in your own, secure environment. GitHub Enterprise lets developers use the tools they love across the development process with support for popular IDEs, continuous integration tools, and hundreds of third party apps and services.
BinTray and GitHub Enterprise can be categorized as "Code Collaboration & Version Control" tools.
Some of the features offered by BinTray are:
- One place for all your Java, Yum and Apt packages
- Use smart REST API to retrieve and search for binaries
- Easy integration with Maven, Gradle, Yum and Apt
On the other hand, GitHub Enterprise provides the following key features:
- Compliance and auditing
- Hundreds of integrations
- Flexible deployment
MIT, DuckDuckGo, and OkCupid are some of the popular companies that use GitHub Enterprise, whereas BinTray is used by BUX, Forerunner Games, and Notify-e.

We are using a Bitbucket server, and due to migration efforts and new Atlassian community license changes, we need to move to a new self-hosted solution. The new data-center license for Atlassian, available in February, will be community provisioned (free). Along with that community license, other technologies will be coming with it (Crucible, Confluence, and Jira). Is there value in a paid-for license to get the GitHub Enterprise? Are the tools that come with it worth the cost?
I know it is about $20 per 10 seats, and we have about 300 users. Have other convertees to Microsoft's tools found it easy to do a migration? Is the toolset that much more beneficial to the free suite that one can get from Atlassian?
So far, free seems to be the winner, and the familiarization with Atlassian implementation and maintenance is understood. Going to GitHub, are there any distinct challenges to be found or any perks to be attained?
These are pretty competitive, and to recommend one over the other would require understanding your usage. Also, what other tools you use: for instance, what do you use for Issue-tracking, or for build pipelines. In your case, since you are already using Bitbucket, the question would be: do you have any current pain-points? And, on the other hand, do you already use Atlassian's JIRA, where you'd benefit from the tight integration? So, though I would not recommend one over the other just in general,. But, if Bitbucket fulfills your current use-cases, then there seems to be little motivation to move.
