Quotes from Members

Pros

"We have developed automation to speed up common repetitive processes."
"Apache Subversion is a scalable solution."
"Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
"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."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."

"Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Git is an easy-to-use solution that can be used for parallel working."
"I like that it's easy to use and because it's accessible from a terminal or a graphical user interface if needed. I also like that we can pass comments from Linux if required."
 

Cons

"Apache Subversion should be easier to use."
"The most valuable feature is CLI."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"Some challenges arise when Git is not used correctly, particularly in managing branches. It's easy to get lost, but these challenges can be overcome with proper management. A common advice is maintaining the repository and ensuring developers are in sync with the production branch. Branches should be promptly merged into development to avoid getting lost in many branches."
"In our company, we sometimes feel the need to have certain kinds of reports, but we never get those customized reports in Git's dashboard."
"New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."
"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"The price could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is good."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool is free."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"We use the open-source version."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."
