Helps to store and version the code
We use the solution for code management to store and version the code. It is the standard service we use for developing applications and infrastructure services You can have a central code repository using Git and have local code branches.  I would like to see less updates with the product.  I…

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

"What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
"The implementation is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity."
"The setup process is pretty simple."
"The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials."
"It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches."
"Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
"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."
"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

"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"It's not very user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by having more customization."
"The tool is complicated for a beginner. You need to have some training to use it. It is also hard to find a parameter."
"Git's user interface could be improved."
"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."
"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to 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."
"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."
"The pricing is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"The platform is less expensive."
"Git is an open-source software."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool is free."
"Git is completely free."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
