Daily workflows have become streamlined as I manage projects, learn from clones, and host sites
The thing that has frustrated me is sometimes when I push using a Git command, I need to force the push, which is the main thing. The setup is frustrating because GitHub could add a repository with pre-installed packages or something since I need to install packages in VS Code before pushing and maintain it in the codebase. Git packages need to be installed manually, and if that was already in a GitHub repository, that would be much better. GitHub packages can be installed previously for the project upon the project requirement, and that is the thing I wanted to add here. That would be good. According to governance and security, I recently heard about some security issues in GitHub. I think that could be centralized and should consider those security issues and clear them. The AI capabilities there include Copilot or something else. I recently heard about security issues, but I do not know about it clearly. However, if security has been more tightened, it will be better.

Good call routing capability, but the interface is non-intuitive, the integration is bad, and the mobile app needs improvement
Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent. We left Broadview for Intermedia because, at the end of the day, we are in the business of being a complete IT solution, which we can't do without offering a phone system. We are firm believers in practicing what you preach (or dogfooding if you prefer). As I stated previously, they dropped us as vendors because we couldn't sell many systems. The auto-attendant setup was horrid. It was extremely dated and doesn't have any modern features that you would expect for the price point. The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated. One reason we couldn't sell the product is that they nickel and dime you to death. For example, a line is one price. If you want a soft phone, that's extra. Mobile app? Extra. Auto-attendant? Yup... extra. We went with Intermedia because they have a far more modern system with seamless integration and simpler pricing. It is one price per user that includes everything Broadview charges extra for. Finally, after we switched, Broadview is trying to extort us for a year's fees stating we didn't terminate the contract in time. Importantly, we did, but it was "auto-renewed." Basically, if you want phone technology from the '90s and the practices to go along with it, Broadview is your ticket.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GitHub provides the SFH key to protect our passwords and connection."
"The solution is scalable."
"GitHub have a built-in software application development environment and this has been most useful."
"The solution has been stable for us."
"The solution can scale."
"GitHub is the perfect tool for use at present and is extremely necessary."
"The most valuable features of GitHub are the ease of integration into Microsoft Azure DevOps, the process that you need to deploy into Microsoft Azure becomes fairly simple, and the templates are already available, so a lot of the engineers find it easier to use."
"I find the most valuable collaboration between our peers to be a seamless collaboration between our peers. We can connect and change our code, allowing us to be agile in our projects. Since we're talking about DevOps, we're using Jenkins in our pipeline. It helps speed up the process by automating the DevOps workflow."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
"We never had any reliability issues."
 

Cons

"The documentation needs to be more concise and easier for developers to understand."
"Many times we have to do some cherry-pick changes manually, which is not ideal."
"GitHub could improve in resolving conflicts when multiple developers modify the same line of code."
"I would like to see more security where a plugin was available for us to update in relation to security."
"Permission management and access control can become complex in large organizations, and advanced reporting with more built-in analytics and reporting for repositories and team productivity would be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in terms of interface."
"The user interface on GitLab is better."
"The solution's cost is high and should be reduced."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool offers a free program. As you go, you can upgrade from the community version to the professional one. I believe it costs about ten dollars per person, per month."
"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"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."
"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
"I use the free version of GitHub."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
