More Apache Subversion Pros →

"Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use.""All of the features in Git are useful.""You can have a central code repository using Git and have local code branches.""I use the solution for website management.""The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows.""I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change.""Git is an easy-to-use solution that can be used for parallel working.""The product protects our data."

Cons
"Apache Subversion should be easier to use.""The most valuable feature is CLI."

More Apache Subversion Cons →

"The solution could be more user-friendly.""The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure.""Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface.""If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful.""If another person raises a pull request under the same ID assigned to the previous person, and both parties modify the tool, their changes will be grouped together in the same request until it is closed, which is an issue.""We would like to see tutorials added to the product, for new users to follow so that they can optimize their use of the solution.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git.""The main problem for me is the frequent upgrades in the solution because every other upgrade is a minefield. When you do the upgrade, there is always something that doesn't work."
