<div class="container" id="mycontainer">
    <section>
        <div class="row">
            <div>
                <div>
                    

                                                
                        <div class="well col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> 
                        <a href="">
                        <h2>title 1</h2>
                        <p>Different height of data, as one can have more while other can have less</p>
                        </a> 
                        </div>
                        <div class="well col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> 
                        <a href=""> <h2>title 2</h2>
                        <p>Different height of data, as one can have more while other can have less something more to write for test</p>
                        </a> 
                        </div>
                         <div class="well col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12"> 
                        <a href=""> <h2>title 2</h2>

                        </a> 
                        </div>
                    
                                       
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </section>
</div>

Using Bootstrap 4 or Bootstrap 5 to make columns of equal height, we don't need any extra CSS, just bootstrap class will work (row-eq-height), as shown in below HTML

<div class="row row-eq-height">
  <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4 panel" style="background-color: red">
   Some Text in this div
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 panel" style="background-color: yellow">
    
      <img src="http://placekitten.com/100/100">
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 panel" style="background-color: blue">
   Div Content not long
  </div>
</div>

Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/1Lzokpft/

Using CSS3 Flexbox

you can create a class to make all columns of equal height, and assign that class to the div which has .row class

.row-eq-height {
  display: -webkit-box;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  display: -ms-flexbox;
  display:         flex;
}

Now Considering your above example of code

 <div class="row row-eq-height">
          
                    

                                                
                        <div class="well col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> 
                        <a href="">
                        <h2>title 1</h2>
                        <p>Different height of data, as one can have more while other can have less</p>
                        </a> 
                        </div>
                        <div class="well col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"> 
                        <a href=""> <h2>title 2</h2>
                        <p>Different height of data, as one can have more while other can have less something more to write for test</p>
                        </a> 
                        </div>
                         <div class="well col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12"> 
                        <a href=""> <h2>title 2</h2>
                        <p>Different height of data, as one can have more while other can have less something more to write for test asdasd asdsad awsdsad asdasdsad</p>
                        </a> 
                        </div>
                    
                                       
              
        </div>

I have removed unnecessary div blocks from your HTML code, and here is the updated fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/vxuLpebL/9/

If you want to apply the above solution in specific width you can use media queries, like below

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .row.equal {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
  }
}

Using Table

.row {
    display: table;
}

[class*="col-"] {
    float: none;
    display: table-cell;
    vertical-align: top;
}

Using Bootstrap 3

You can add your custom CSS as below, to make equal columns in Bootstrap 3

.equal {
  display: flex;
  display: -webkit-flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

It should have HTML as below

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row equal">
    <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4" style="background-color: red">
      some content is here
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4" style="background-color: yellow">
      <img src="http://placekitten.com/100/100" class="img-responsive">
    </div>
    <div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4" style="background-color: blue">
      some more content
    </div>	
  </div>
</div>

Thanks

You can make any row columns of equal height using Bootstrap's class .row-eq-height, just wrap the column's or div inside .row-eq-height, class like below example

<div class="row row-eq-height">
  <div class="col-xs-6">
    Tall Column
    <br> Tall Column
    <br> Tall Column
    <br>
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-3">
    Short Column
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-3">
    Tall Column
    <br> Taller
    <br>
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-4">
    Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br> Tallest Column
    <br>
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-4">
    Tall Column
    <br> Tall Column
    <br> Tall Column
    <br>
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-4">
    Short Column
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-4">
    Short Column
  </div>
  <div class="col-xs-3">
    Tall Column
    <br> Taller
    <br> Taller
    <br> Taller
    <br> Taller
    <br>
  </div>
</div>

You can simply use the below CSS (if you are using bootstrap 3.x) for equal column

    .equal {
        display: flex;
        display: -webkit-flex;
        flex-wrap: wrap;
    }

And Can you use it in html as below

<div class="row">
  <div class="equal col-lg-3">Some text</div>
   <div class="equal col-lg-3">Some text <br/> more text</div>
  <div class="equal col-lg-3">Some text <br/> more text <br/> and more text</div>
</div>

It should work.

Alternate solution is to use matchHeight.js:

The quickest way to get started is just reference the CDN link like so after your jQuery:

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.matchHeight/0.7.0/jquery.matchHeight-min.js"><script>

Suppose you need the .Box class column to have equal heights, you can use jQuery call as below

$(function() {
    $('.box').matchHeight();
});

Using jQuery to make height of columns equal

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('.container').each(function(){  
        var highestBox = 0;

        $(this).find('.column').each(function(){
            if($(this).height() > highestBox){  
                highestBox = $(this).height();  
            }
        })

        $(this).find('.column').height(highestBox);
    });    


});

That's it, you are done.

Above already have great answers, but If you like to equal your columns height using jQuery instead it is simple, just use the below function

function equalHeightColumns(group) {
	var tallest = 0;
	group.each(function() {
		var thisHeight = $(this).height();
		if(thisHeight > tallest) {
			tallest = thisHeight;
		}
	});
	group.height(tallest);
}

and you Can call the above function by passing the Class name of the columns

$(document).ready(function() {
	equalHeightColumns($(".YourColumnClass"));
	
});

That's it, you are done.
