A stable solution that can aid its users in maintaining all application developments
Scalability is something I haven't experienced. So, a bigger team in my company looks after the scalability aspect of the solution. Therefore, I will not be the right person to rate it from a scalability perspective. Around 200 users are using Git in my company. I am not the right person to comment on whether the solution's usage rate will increase in the future.

Database-as-code has transformed how we track schema changes and manage controlled migrations
The best features Liquibase offers include CI/CD integration, which we really appreciate because we didn't have a lot of issues integrating it into our existing CI pipelines, and the changeset and changelog, which are the source of truth that effectively tell us how the database changes are taking effect. The CI/CD integration helped my workflow by improving visibility with the changelog and changeset. For the CI part, Maven and Gradle builds are already available, so we just use the Maven plugin and it was pretty straightforward. There is something called Liquibase Validate as well, which helps with pre-deployment checks. We use the update SQL command for dry-run approvals. Liquibase has positively impacted my organization by providing a way to manage database migrations instead of maintaining raw SQL, which comes with the issue of not being able to track certain schema updates or new table creations. With Liquibase, you have that history through the changelog and changeset tables, which maintain that history of changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
"Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity."
"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."
"Git is easy to use."
"Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work."
"Liquibase has positively impacted my organization by providing a way to manage database migrations instead of maintaining raw SQL, which comes with the issue of not being able to track certain schema updates or new table creations."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
"Liquibase has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time spent syncing databases."
"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

"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes."
"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."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Some challenges arise when Git is not used correctly, particularly in managing branches. It's easy to get lost, but these challenges can be overcome with proper management. A common advice is maintaining the repository and ensuring developers are in sync with the production branch. Branches should be promptly merged into development to avoid getting lost in many branches."
"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."
"New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."
"In our company, we sometimes feel the need to have certain kinds of reports, but we never get those customized reports in Git's dashboard."
"Liquibase could be improved in several ways. Some facilities could be enhanced, and for first-time users, it could be more intuitive rather than overwhelming."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
"Liquibase can be improved by addressing the issue that changelog files could conflict with Git if they're not modularized properly."
"The pricing is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The platform is less expensive."
"Git is an open-source software."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
