Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution has been stable for us.""The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes.""Has great integration with third-party tools.""We use GitHub as a repository.""I like the CI/CD features.""The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code.""The most valuable features are GitHub are the standard features, they are very useful.""GitHub allows us the option to push files from a non-UA method or directly upload files from the UA. You can integrate GitHub with Jenkins to do CI/CD."

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

Cons
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background.""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.""It would be better if the amount of storage were increased.""I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product.""The security point should be addressed in the next release and scaling is also an issue.""The solution could have better support for the Markdown language.""While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future.""The stability can be improved."

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

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.
