Very good for collaboration on software projects
We use GitHub for code repository alongside Bitbucket GitHub is very good for collaboration on software projects. We prefer Bitbucket for commercial use, while GitHub is used for open source. You can get the differences, history of changes, and version control for various pull requests. You can…

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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"Our code is secure."
"GitHub's source code management is top-notch. It's easy to inspect changes and visualize code and differences. Their action system is comprehensive in terms of making changes and automation."
"GitHub is pure or open-source; you can access it anywhere. You can have a lot of collateral information. You can make the changes and do the reviews from one place."
"The support team is good."
"I find GitHub very user friendly."
"During our use of GitHub, we have not encountered any problems and GitHub adds new features frequently."
"We use GitHub as a repository."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
 

Cons

"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"The development team pushes the code into a repository, and the CI/CD pipeline will perform the build. We need open-source libraries to perform the builds. It would be helpful to have the ability to link to open-source libraries like npm libraries. I don't know if GitHub Actions provides this. I would like to see that in GitHub Actions if they don't."
"The user interface on GitLab is better."
"The documentation needs to be more concise and easier for developers to understand."
"The support team needs to have a well-defined SLA model since it is an area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
"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."
"Specifically, I want the solution to offer AI-based merging support, as it is the only area where the product has certain shortcomings."
"The solution could have better support for the Markdown language."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"GitHub is an open-source application. It's free to use."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"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?
I am not aware about the pricing, so I will not be able to give feedback.
What needs improvement with GitHub?
Sometimes we do not get the exact solution, and the suggested solution does not work, so GitHub could improve in that area. We have used GitHub mainly for the code generation part. That is the only...
