Helps to store and version the code
We use the solution for code management to store and version the code. It is the standard service we use for developing applications and infrastructure services You can have a central code repository using Git and have local code branches.  I would like to see less updates with the product.  I…

Offers integration with multiple databases, stable product and reduced our manual intervention
I would recommend using it. To learn Liquibase, one should have some database knowledge. If the person is from a DBA background, they would be able to learn quickly. But if they are from an application or infrastructure role, it's medium complex. Before getting started, you should thoroughly go through the documentation and follow the latest changes deployed by the Liquibase product team. Basically, when using the product, you should be able to understand it and stay updated on the latest releases. Overall, I would rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should have this kind of tool to reduce manual intervention. The one point they could improve on is documentation, which they haven't clarified, and they need to work on that a lot.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
"The product is easy to use."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"I use the solution for website management."
"What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
"Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use."
"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
 

Cons

"Synchronization could be better. Sometimes when you create a branch and merge it into another branch, I think it's a bit complex for no reason. The initial setup is also tricky when you do it for the first time."
"If another person raises a pull request under the same ID assigned to the previous person, and both parties modify the tool, their changes will be grouped together in the same request until it is closed, which is an issue."
"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The GUI needs to be improved."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"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."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"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

"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"The platform is less expensive."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"Git is completely 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."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"Git is an open-source software."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
