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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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 is very straightforward. I really appreciate the versioning capabilities, ease of use, and the ability to host code."
"It's beneficial for managing multiple tasks and controlling versions of your product."
"I have found GitHub stable."
"The solution can scale."
"For branching, it works well, especially in an agile environment."
"Overall, it's a very good product."
"I use this solution to store my code in a repository so we can manage version control which is useful."
"The version control functionality for this solution has been most valuable, especially when managing projects with multiple versions."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
"We never had any reliability issues."
 

Cons

"I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd."
"The documentation needs to be more concise and easier for developers to understand."
"The initial setup requires heavy documentation which can be challenging for new developers."
"The security point should be addressed in the next release and scaling is also an issue."
"The ticketing system is not working."
"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 user interface on GitLab is better."
"In complex cases, we have to use the terminal for conflict resolution. If those conflicts could be resolved visually in the editor, that would be much better."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding pricing, I'd rate it eight out of ten. It's decent and not too expensive, and small businesses can also afford it. With AWS taking CodeCommit out of the market, I don't see many competitors for small companies in terms of GitHub."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"The basic licensing model is free, and if you need to have technical support and such things, then it does cost something. You only need to pay extra if you need technical support."
"I use the free version of GitHub."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
