Featured Reviews

Srujan Panuganti - PeerSpot reviewer
An excellent open source, software hosting solution that provides strong version control functionality and a user-friendly interface
We use this solution to host our software, and where we need to develop new features and new functionality, we create new branch from our existing software, work on our branch, develop it, test it, validate it, and then merge it with the master or main software The best thing about this solution…
Sudheer Kumar Jamjam - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers integration with multiple databases, stable product and reduced our manual intervention
I would recommend using it. To learn Liquibase, one should have some database knowledge. If the person is from a DBA background, they would be able to learn quickly. But if they are from an application or infrastructure role, it's medium complex. Before getting started, you should thoroughly go through the documentation and follow the latest changes deployed by the Liquibase product team. Basically, when using the product, you should be able to understand it and stay updated on the latest releases. Overall, I would rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should have this kind of tool to reduce manual intervention. The one point they could improve on is documentation, which they haven't clarified, and they need to work on that a lot.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The implementation is easy."
"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."
"The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
"The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials."
"I like that it's easy to use and because it's accessible from a terminal or a graphical user interface if needed. I also like that we can pass comments from Linux if required."
"I use the solution for website management."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
"They have some nice features around the automation of rule checking. They have a rules engine that checks the SQL code so that you can actually do your edit checks on the validity of the SQL code. If you don't want certain tables to be able to have certain things done to them, you can have it checked for that. It's a very flexible way to kind of do an automated peer review of the SQL code to catch things before you actually try to deploy it."
 

Cons

"The solution works perfectly fine so far."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model of Git."
"I believe there is room for improvement in preventing work loss due to conflicts or overwriting. Another area for improvement could be implementing features for automated code verification within Git."
"If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically."
"If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."
"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface."
"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
"The pricing is quite high."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is an open-source product."
"The platform is less expensive."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"Git is completely free."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"The tool is free."
"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."
"We use the open-source version."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
