GitHub Reviews

The solution mainly serves as our project repository. We use it to maintain different environments with the help of branches.

The product has a good UI. It's simple and easy to access, and technical help is easily available. The two-factor authentication security is another valuable feature. 

I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd.

For personal use, I've been using the solution for two or three years. But in my office, we started using it this year.

Stability is good, it's stable. I haven't found any issues to date, even though it's big data. It works well.

It's a scalable solution. 

We have an infrastructure team that handles technical support and everything else. The things we need are easily available on the internet.

Positive

We used to use GitLab (the free version I think), which had frequent deployment issues. So that's why we shifted to GitHub.

My organization installed everything, including the two-factor authentication security. 

We implemented the solution in-house.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We are using GitHub for all of our repositories. We can store the code, collaborate with different developers, build, and create a pipeline.

GitHub storage is one of the main requirements and it could improve.

I have been using GitHub for approximately four years.

I have found GitHub stable.

GitHub is scalable.

Every developer in the R&D department is using GitHub in my company. There are approximately 2,300 people in the R&D department.

I have not contacted technical support to need to contact support.

We used different solutions prior to GitHub, such as Perforce and Rational.

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.

I would recommend the solution to others. It is very good.

I rate GitHub a nine out of ten.

I find GitHub very user-friendly.

Nothing is coming to my mind that needs to be improved with GitHub.

As of now, if I would like to learn about GitHub or its features, I would have to look on YouTube. It would be nice if they were able to send out a newsletter with explanations of new features that they are offering and what features are available.

I have been working with GitHub for four to five years.

GitHub is a very stable solution.

GitHub is scalable. We are more than 200 individuals, in many countries.

The setup of GitHub is very simple if you have a knowledge of Linux and follow the process document. 

We have the licensed version of GitHub.

We have Bitbucket and it is pretty good. 

GitHub can integrate with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. If you are using a VPN, the integration will be more difficult. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

We use GitHub for the development process of our online applications.

The solution is open-source and is built around a whole community. 

The product offers an easy way of supporting our or approaching our repository and updating our code.

The solution has been stable for us. 

It can scale well. 

The product has been secure enough. We haven't had any issues with security.

I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product. 

I've been using the solution for three years. 

We haven't had any issues with stability. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. For how we use it, it's reliable.

It is a scalable solution. 

We are not a private company. We are a part of a government institution and we are the IT office of that government institution. There are 14 of us using GitHub.

The product does have a good community around it that can assist users. 

We've never reached out to GitHub technical support services. 

There's no installation process. 

The solution is open-source and free to use. 

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations. We have been quite satisfied with its capabilities. 

I'd rate it eight out of ten. 

We use GitHub to manage repositories, pull requests from partners and merge new changes. 

The principal benefit of using this solution is being able to organize improvements and changes to code. This is particularly useful for projects which involve many people.

The control version functionality for this solution has been most valuable, especially when managing projects with multiple versions. 

The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow.

I have used this solution for ten years. 

This is a scalable solution. 

We have not needed to contact customer service. All the information we have needed has been available on the web. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. 

We are an IT service company that specializes in DevOps, and we use many tools for application lifecycle management, such as GitHub, GitLab, SonarCloud, SonarQube, Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure DevOps. 

We mainly use this solution for storing the code of our applications and our scripts. We also use it for our automated functional testing and for building applications and releasing applications. It is also used to manage our team and our product, as well as to check the security of our product. 

We are a partner and reseller, and we use GitHub Cloud.

All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public.

It is not technical. It is more about how people perceive GitHub in terms of the security of the code. They need to understand that if they have a repo on GitHub, it is not public for everyone.

They're improving the work items to track the progress of the team, but in my experience, Azure DevOps is better in this functionality. GitHub needs to improve the form to track the progress of the work done by a team.

I have been using it for more or less one year.

It is, for sure, stable.

It is definitely scalable.

They were very helpful.

I have experience in many tools. GitHub is not the hardest, and it is also not the easiest. It is of medium level.

I would advise trying out the Advanced Security model, which is its best functionality.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

It's mostly for versioning only, maintaining code branches, and sharing the code across to the wider community. It depends if it's a private one or a public one. It's mostly for collaboration across people.

There was versioning software before. It's now on the cloud and it's kind of available from anywhere, et cetera. You can access it from anywhere, and if you want, you can collaborate with a wider audience if you make a public repository. Otherwise, whatever was existing in versioning software, probably that's taken to the web and to the cloud to scale. 

The differences that they give upfront are good. You can evaluate and check whatever is being shared.

It's stable.

The solution can scale. 

We find it user-friendly.

Mostly they have the features that we need and they are currently being used. There are two approvals already. However, if something has to be moved into approvals, and if they don't approve it in a few hours, then they should move the approval request to some other user, or they should have a way to escalate it.

I've used the solution for only a year now. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It has been reliable and the performance is good. 

We mostly use the solution for client projects. Across the company, I can't answer how many people use it exactly. We work with customers, so we see it used at the customer end.

We have not experienced any limitations of assets in terms of storage so far.

It's very scalable.

I've never used technical support for GitHub. I can't say if they would be responsive or helpful. 

In terms of the setup, only the clients have you install it on your side. You have some clients that used to access it from the desktop basically, so that is the only place where you have to install the solution.

It's cloud, so you don't need staff for maintenance. It's designing the branches only that you need to worry about. It's like Gmail. You don't need any people for maintaining it.

I don't handle the licensing. I'm not sure how it works or how much it costs. 

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I'd rate it, overall, at an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for DevOps activities.

The flexibility of this solution has been most valuable. It operates on a pay per use basis where you can ramp up or decrease usage.

This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users. 

I have been using this solution for three years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We haven't had any problems where we've run out of capacity. We have 50 users on this solution. 

This solution does not require a big installation. It can be used as and when it is needed without a huge commitment.

I would recommend using Githib to others. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
