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

"The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work."
"It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
"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."
"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

"In a future release, the user interface should be easier to use and more intuitive."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"I believe there is room for improvement in preventing work loss due to conflicts or overwriting. Another area for improvement could be implementing features for automated code verification within Git."
"About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
"Git's user interface could be improved."
"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 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."
"The pricing is quite high."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"Git is an open-source software."
"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."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"The tool is free."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is fair."
