GitHub Reviews

I use the solution to store most of my Python projects.

This product is very good for storing and versioning code.

The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved. 

I have been using GitHub for six months.

The stability of the solution is sufficient.

The solution doesn't need to be scaled in this case, as it's just for my personal use.

I have never had to contact technical support. 

There was no need for an initial setup as I just use the solution on the cloud. 

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

I rate this solution an eight out of ten, and would recommend it to other users. 

We use GitHub because we don't have any paid solutions, and GitHub is freeware. It's open to all, and there aren't big licensing fees, like with Jira or any other tool. Apart from that, because it's totally cloud based, we don't need any extensions, and our developers and DevOps are all in sync and are able to get help with their second branches. So, we are all using the same platform to manage our product.

It's a cloud solution.

It is easily accessible. Even if someone doesn't have the paid version of the GitHub license, the minimum license, they can still use it for themselves. Sometimes Jira extensions are only installed on a server on the client side, so you need a VPN connection to access that, but with GitHub access is based on your ID, so you can access it from anywhere.

While we are working from home because of the pandemic—and when we didn't have proper VPNs—it helped us assess all our defects, which are placed in GitHub very easily. We don't need to rush the VPN connection and then access all these things. It was really easy. It also has two-factor authentication, which helps us authenticate users very easily.

A great feature is being able to have different repositories and different kinds of projects in a single solution at a single time. It's just a click away. If I compare it with Jira, that's one of the best features.

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. Someone has to be trained with all those artifacts.

In the next release, I would like to see more QA friendly features like extensions. In Jira, you can modify different extensions. GitHub doesn't have that. They have many standard features, but sometimes I feel that there is something that I need but it's missing.

I've been using GitHub for more than three years.

GitHub is very stable. I have seen many different sections which are also easily accessible. For developing a product, you don't need to travel or do research work. In GitHub, there are many other repositories that are public. You can also navigate and see what others are doing if they have some public examples. It's like a type of overflow. You get many examples from this, and then by seeing those examples, you can directly implement that work and have a glimpse at other things.

Scaling the solution is very easy. 

In my organization, there are 130 people currently using GitHub. It has been used quite extensively because 130 guys are using it on a daily basis for checking their codes along with user stories.

We haven't needed anyone for maintenance of this solution.

I have previously used Jira. When I was using Jira, I wasn't applying projects, so they were funding the project and using the Jira platform for managing their product. Currently in the project I'm on, we don't have a lot of funds for Jira, so we searched for the open source and found GitHub. We liked it because it was solving all of our queries. Whatever our needs were, we were able to accomplish them with GitHub.

Initial setup was very simple.

There was no implementation strategy because GitHub is cloud based. It doesn't require any sort of deployment from our end. There was just a configuration that we needed to do to make it work with our code. There were simple sections which we needed to run, but our developers were able to collaborate easily.

We worked with our in-house team. There was no mediator between us.

If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10. 

If someone is managing the product as well as doing the test management, they should go with GitHub. It's very easy to understand and track everything, and you can even see the different check-ins. 

If someone is specifically going for a test management tool and they need the proper agile-based tools, they should go for Jira.

GitHub is specifically designed for repositories and it works perfectly for storing code. We use it for our source code repository.

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

I have been using this solution for approximately six years.

The solution has been completely stable.

The scalability is good. We had 20 developers using the solution and now we have 200, there have not been any problems.

The technical support was very good.

Out of all the solutions in this category, I would recommend this solution to other companies.
I rate GitHub a nine out of ten.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The price of this solution is reasonable.

Out of all the solutions in this category, I would recommend this solution to other companies.

I rate GitHub a nine out of ten.

GitHub allows us the option to push files from a non-UA method or directly upload files from the UA. You can integrate GitHub with Jenkins to do CI/CD.

GitHub could add some more security features. 

We've been using GitHub for a year. One of our clients advised us to switch to GitHub, so we did. 

GitHub is stable. I haven't had any issues so far. 

We have the option to add storage if needed, so it's scalable. 

We've never contacted GitHub support. If we have a technical issue, I'll usually search for answers online. It's the same with other data tools like Postman. 

GitHub doesn't require any setup. You only need to create an account and a repository. After that, you start adding your files. 

I rate GitHub 10 out of 10. I only use it for storage, so I don't have any problems with it. If you're looking for storing files and code, GitHub is the best and most secure solution. 

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.
