We performed a comparison between GitHub and IBM Rational ClearCase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Version Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"There are no issues. It's simple, easy, and fully compatible from my perspective with Git."
"It's beneficial for managing multiple tasks and controlling versions of your product."
"The flexibility of this solution has been most valuable. It operates on a pay per use basis where you can ramp up or decrease usage."
"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."
"I have found GitHub stable."
"If you want to share documents, you can create articles and diagrams with GitHub and share."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"The tool had features similar to Git for version control. It offered branching and merging capabilities, providing better control over code management. Integration was possible with other tools, including some change management tools. The overall process was normal."
"ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"GitHub could expand the limits of the free version."
"Our firewall was blocking cloning and downloading with SSH."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."
"The stability can be improved."
"There can be conflict issues when two developers work on the same file or line of code, and it would be great to see that improved, possibly with an AI solution."
"The only thing I see missing in GitHub is that it isn't very user friendly for key personnel who don't have in-depth, technical knowledge. In Jira, there are many functions to upload our test cases, and in GitHub we can only do it manually. There are functions which can be used to upload different files, but that still requires some technical knowledge. A layman cannot do it."
"GitHub could add more security features. I am not sure how secure it is. If they provide more security features, then it can be used in more official applications."
"The security point should be addressed in the next release and scaling is also an issue."
"The protection needs to be improved."
"I have found it very difficult to understand many functionalities in IBM Rational ClearCase. We have had many problems and it is not user-friendly."
"The solution's UI is slow compared to other tools. It is an old tool."
