Centralized repository, but the stability could improve
We use Git, we share code amongst our team.  We can release artifacts. Using other solutions, we can generate artifacts for processing. As a developer, I write code and push it into the distribution repository. Using Git can be more difficult than using Subversion, as Git has more advanced features…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have developed automation to speed up common repetitive processes."
"Apache Subversion is a scalable solution."
"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."
"The product is easy to use."
"The product protects our data."
"Git is an easy-to-use solution that can be used for parallel working."
"Git is easy to manage...It is helpful for me and easy to manage the interface we are using from development to production."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."
"It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches."
 

Cons

"Apache Subversion should be easier to use."
"The most valuable feature is CLI."
"If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically."
"The GUI needs to be improved."
"It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."
"The price could be improved."
"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."
"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is good."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"Git is completely free."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"The tool is free."
"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."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"Git is an open-source software."
