Featured Reviews

Srujan Panuganti - PeerSpot reviewer
An excellent open source, software hosting solution that provides strong version control functionality and a user-friendly interface
We use this solution to host our software, and where we need to develop new features and new functionality, we create new branch from our existing software, work on our branch, develop it, test it, validate it, and then merge it with the master or main software The best thing about this solution…
Sudheer Kumar Jamjam - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Git is easy to use."
"I like Git's merging feature. For example, say there is an instance where I am working on the same code as another developer. Git automatically merges the work of two developers on the same file. If I'm working on line 50 and he's working on 60, and we both commit, it mergest automatically."
"The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
"The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials."
"The setup process is pretty simple."
"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"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."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
 

Cons

"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface."
"I would like more documentation."
"The GUI needs to be improved."
"I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."
"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."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"The solution could improve by having more customization."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
"The pricing is quite high."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is free."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"Git is completely free."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"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 platform is less expensive."
"Git is an open-source software."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is fair."
