We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features.""The code sharing and updated history are valuable features.""I'm able to access any repository that I like, whether it's public or private.""This product is very good for storing and versioning code.""This solution is very easy to use which I like about it. The capacity to own artifacts and share them with others is another good feature. You don't have to write all your code from scratch, you can use available templates and alter the code according to your needs.""Even if I'm not in the office, I can access and work on my code from anywhere with my account credentials.""This solution is just easy to use.""The solution is scalable."

More GitHub Pros →

"They have some nice features around the automation of rule checking. They have a rules engine that checks the SQL code so that you can actually do your edit checks on the validity of the SQL code. If you don't want certain tables to be able to have certain things done to them, you can have it checked for that. It's a very flexible way to kind of do an automated peer review of the SQL code to catch things before you actually try to deploy it."

Cons
"Lacks sufficient support in terms of professional services that could be provided.""Github needs more storage.""We are not able to access GitHub from our VPN.""The storage for this solution could be improved.""The ticketing system is not working.""It would be beneficial if GitHub provided some security scanning for new libraries to ensure that there are no viruses in it.""GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira.""There could be more integration into Azure."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The private repositories are free, which is very good."
  • "It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
  • "The price of this solution is reasonable."
  • "If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub."
  • "We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
  • "I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
  • "The licensing model for GitHub is user-based. Whenever the new developer joins we have to get a new license and register their ID. The overall price of the solution is reasonable."
  • "The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."

    Overview
    GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

    Liquibase is a migration-based open source database version control solution that relies on a changelog to track what changesets have been deployed to a database, and what additional changesets needs to be applied to a database in order to migrate a database schema to a specific version. Liquibase supports an XML model for defining changesets so that database schema changes can easily be translated to another DBMS platforms. As an open source solution, Liquibase is ideal for smaller teams and projects or for teams that have ample time to invest in extending and adapting the open source capability to meet their needs.
