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."All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public."
"Our code is secure."
"The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code."
"I have found GitHub stable."
"The best feature is the ability to track the history of all code changes, and it's easy to use. Additionally, as it's open source, anyone can use that feature resulting in distributed development. This opens the door to collaboration with different code and developer, feature, and master branches of development."
"It is really simple to set up."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy but it is always good to connect with GitHub's team that manages APIs."
"We use GitHub instead of our regular shared drive. It offers instant access to shared folders as well as good security."
"ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment."
"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."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."
"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 onboarding process could be simplified."
"The GitHub repository needs an upgraded user interface and overall UI improvements."
"It would be beneficial if GitHub provided some security scanning for new libraries to ensure that there are no viruses in it."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."
"Though I haven't done much research, GitHub lacks in providing more functions like GitLab."
"They're improving the work items to track the progress of the team, but in my experience, Azure DevOps is better in this functionality. GitHub needs to improve the form to track the progress of the work done by a team."
"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."
