Efficiently keep track of changes and maintain control
Pros and Cons
  • "Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
  • "Git removed the credential feature."

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is to keep track of changes and maintain control, and it helps contain your code and is useful for collaboration.

What is most valuable?

One feature I find valuable is that it's a one-shot solution. Also, every software company has a requirement to use Git.

What needs improvement?

I am trying to understand why they removed the credential because it has been a great feature. But yeah, that's not looking good on me. Moreover, Git should increase security to reduce risk. 

Another improvement could be that it is easy to install but complex to set up.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for ten years. We always use the latest version in our company.

Many tutorials are available online, and one should search for them and go through them before doing anything.

Overall, I would rate it a ten out of ten.

Feature rich, scales well, and straightforward deployment
Pros and Cons
  • "All of the features in Git are useful."
  • "The solution could improve by having more customization."

What is our primary use case?

Git is used for version control.

Our extensive IT department collaborates on various projects, utilizing Git to manage versions effectively. One significant advantage is the ability to maintain multiple versions of the same code, even when offline. This is particularly beneficial in scenarios where internet connectivity is not available, enabling individuals to work on their code seamlessly. Ultimately, this is a crucial benefit for our team's productivity and market competitiveness.

What is most valuable?

All of the features in Git are useful.

What needs improvement?

The solution could improve by having more customization.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Git for a few years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good.

I rate the stability of Git a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have approximately 500 people using the solution.

The solution is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used the support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used solutions prior to Git.

How was the initial setup?

The setup of Git is straightforward. The time it takes to set up depends on the size of the project.

When we're doing things manually, but now we use automation tools. When there is a request made it is automated and deployed in the project.

What about the implementation team?

We did the implementation in-house. We have a team that handles the implementation.

What other advice do I have?

A few people in each team have to do the maintenance of the solution.

I would recommend people start using Git. Users can work on an offline copy without internet connectivity and later sync their changes once online. This process is effortless and speedy. Additionally, it is highly secure. After setting up an Azure account, integration with other tools is possible, allowing for continuous integration and deployment.

I rate Git out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
