Improved deployment pipeline visibility with generally good support
My primary use case involves working with GitHub for code management. I have extensive experience using it for various tasks, such as creating repositories, managing pull requests, and utilizing GitHub Actions for automating workflows GitHub contributes to efficient project management by…

Good call routing capability, but the interface is non-intuitive, the integration is bad, and the mobile app needs improvement
Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent. We left Broadview for Intermedia because, at the end of the day, we are in the business of being a complete IT solution, which we can't do without offering a phone system. We are firm believers in practicing what you preach (or dogfooding if you prefer). As I stated previously, they dropped us as vendors because we couldn't sell many systems. The auto-attendant setup was horrid. It was extremely dated and doesn't have any modern features that you would expect for the price point. The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated. One reason we couldn't sell the product is that they nickel and dime you to death. For example, a line is one price. If you want a soft phone, that's extra. Mobile app? Extra. Auto-attendant? Yup... extra. We went with Intermedia because they have a far more modern system with seamless integration and simpler pricing. It is one price per user that includes everything Broadview charges extra for. Finally, after we switched, Broadview is trying to extort us for a year's fees stating we didn't terminate the contract in time. Importantly, we did, but it was "auto-renewed." Basically, if you want phone technology from the '90s and the practices to go along with it, Broadview is your ticket.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GitHub provides good time reduction and this is what I value the most."
"I appreciate saving from Visual Studio Code that implements changes directly on GitHub."
"Complication free with good ability for third-party integrations."
"The solution can scale."
"I use this solution to store my code in a repository so we can manage version control which is useful."
"GitHub is the best tool for source repositories."
"The most valuable features of GitHub include its ability to integrate with Jira and multiple CI/CD platforms like Techton, allowing for seamless project management."
"With GitHub, we can manage our development progress, CID, and continuous integration. It helps streamline our development processes effectively."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
 

Cons

"The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow."
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
"The only thing I see missing in GitHub is that it isn't very user friendly for key personnel who don't have in-depth, technical knowledge. In Jira, there are many functions to upload our test cases, and in GitHub we can only do it manually. There are functions which can be used to upload different files, but that still requires some technical knowledge. A layman cannot do it."
"The query function in GitHub is a bit stiff."
"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."
"When solving merge conflicts, it would be helpful to have tooltips within the actions to know what changes could happen next when resolving a conflict."
"The documentation needs to be more concise and easier for developers to understand."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"The licensing model for GitHub is user-based. Whenever the new developer joins we have to get a new license and register their ID. The overall price of the solution is reasonable."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"GitHub is a cost-effective solution."
"I use the free version of GitHub."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about GitHub?
The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for GitHub?
GitHub is very stable for me with no performance issues.
What needs improvement with GitHub?
When working with the CI/CD pipeline and somebody is writing the workflow file, it would be best to include the AI feature so if they write incorrect code, it will notify me about it in the same da...
