Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The version control functionality for this solution has been most valuable, especially when managing projects with multiple versions."
"The Projects Tab, which shows you the todo list and the progress for projects, is very helpful."
"The initial setup was easy."
"There are no issues. It's simple, easy, and fully compatible from my perspective with Git."
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features."
"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."
"We want to incorporate management comments within GitHub, making it more like a product management tool. We haven't done that yet. Another change we're considering is migrating from GitHub to Azure DevOps, especially now that Microsoft has introduced it."
"GitHub storage is one of the main requirements and it could improve."
"I think it would be valuable to have more security. Some of the data is very open to everyone."
"We are not able to access GitHub from our VPN."
"The support team needs to have a well-defined SLA model since it is an area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
"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."
"Though I haven't done much research, GitHub lacks in providing more functions like GitLab."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
