We performed a comparison between GitHub and IBM Rational ClearCase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Atlassian, GitHub, Git and others in Version Control."Our code is secure."
"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."
"The flexibility of this solution has been most valuable. It operates on a pay per use basis where you can ramp up or decrease usage."
"The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes."
"A great feature is being able to have different repositories and different kinds of projects in a single solution at a single time. It's just a click away."
"I have found GitHub stable."
"The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"GitHub could improve by being more user-friendly."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"The security point should be addressed in the next release and scaling is also an issue."
"The development team pushes the code into a repository, and the CI/CD pipeline will perform the build. We need open-source libraries to perform the builds. It would be helpful to have the ability to link to open-source libraries like npm libraries. I don't know if GitHub Actions provides this. I would like to see that in GitHub Actions if they don't."
"Our firewall was blocking cloning and downloading with SSH."
"I would like to see more security where a plugin was available for us to update in relation to security."
"It would be useful to have tutorial videos within the GitHub dashboard."
"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 protection needs to be improved."
