Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Since I am a very simple user of the tool, its scalability is good for me.""All of the features in Git are useful.""The implementation is easy.""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.""What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode.""The features I am most impressed by is the automation.""The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."

"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work.""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.""The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."

Cons
"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface.""Git's user interface could be improved.""I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them.""The product needs to improve its UI.""The solution could improve by having more customization.""The tool is complicated for a beginner. You need to have some training to use it. It is also hard to find a parameter.""If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically.""New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."

More Git Cons →

"The pricing is quite high.""We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue.""One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."

    Overview
    Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.

    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.
