Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"A great tool to work on projects in a collaborative environment."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."
"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
"All of the features in Git are useful."
"I like Git's merging feature. For example, say there is an instance where I am working on the same code as another developer. Git automatically merges the work of two developers on the same file. If I'm working on line 50 and he's working on 60, and we both commit, it mergest automatically."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
 

Cons

"Sometime it takes too long to display the differences in working tree, between revisions."
"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface."
"The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously."
"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes and so forth."
"I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"Git can improve the size of the depository it can handle and add the capability to detect the change between common files, such as Excel and PDF documents."
