Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I find the most valuable collaboration between our peers to be a seamless collaboration between our peers. We can connect and change our code, allowing us to be agile in our projects. Since we're talking about DevOps, we're using Jenkins in our pipeline. It helps speed up the process by automating the DevOps workflow."
"The most valuable feature is help offered by the community for open-source projects."
"GitHub's version control is valuable."
"GitHub is convenient and easy to use."
"Our code is secure."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."
"GitHub is good for collaboration because everyone can access it or we can restrict access to a few users. If I upload a file and share the URL, it's not restricted to a set number of users. Everyone with the link can download the files."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"There is room for improvement in terms of interface."
"From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile."
"It would be good if there were training materials for junior developers."
"GitHub's issue management could be improved a little from an organization standpoint. It would be helpful to have the ability to organize a work board or a backlog more comprehensively. For organizations migrating to GitHub from arbitrary systems, it's a little bit of a headache to move on to that system."
"The storage for this solution could be improved."
"The security for this solution could be tightened up and improved."
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
"This solution could be improved if migration was fully automated to make it easy, for example, to migrate repositories into GitHub."
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
