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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"The most valuable feature is help offered by the community for open-source projects."

"GitHub provides the SFH key to protect our passwords and connection."

"The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code."

"It is very helpful, time saving, and user-friendly."

"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."

"The product has a very user-friendly interface and user-friendly security."

"We use GitHub as a repository."

"The initial setup was easy."

More GitHub pros

"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."

Cons

"The sign in process is a bit difficult."

"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."

"The merging features can be improved."

"There is room for improvement in terms of interface."

"The onboarding process could be simplified."

"The solution should have less integration with the AI part, but it needs to add features with other automation tools so that it can be easily integrated."

"The documentation needs to be more concise and easier for developers to understand."

"It is currently only from the development perspective. It doesn't have features related to project management and testing. It is not like Azure. So, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is a version control product, and it would be good if they can come up with a complete DevOps product."

More GitHub cons

"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s an open-source solution."

"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."

"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."

"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."

"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."

"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."

"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."

"The basic licensing model is free, and if you need to have technical support and such things, then it does cost something. You only need to pay extra if you need technical support."

Overview

GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.
