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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"I recommend using GitHub because it is reliable and helpful for developers."
"GitHub's source code management is top-notch."
"It's beneficial for managing multiple tasks and controlling versions of your product."
"I actually appreciate that I can create a developer profile that is outside of work, and that is also technical, not necessarily related to LinkedIn."
"GitHub provides good time reduction and this is what I value the most."
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features."
"The features of GitHub are very nice and helpful for developers."
"For branching, it works well, especially in an agile environment."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
"We never had any reliability issues."
 

Cons

"From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile."
"It would be useful to have tutorial videos within the GitHub dashboard."
"There are still areas for improvement with GitHub Actions and their deployment workflows, as they have made significant progress but are not yet polished."
"We've found the way licensing is set up to be very challenging. Also, the LDAP sync capability falls over frequently due to the complexity of our LDAP domains."
"This solution is somewhat stable, but requires additional supporting products."
"The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved."
"Another problem is installation."
"Scalability is an area with a shortcoming, because of which it has room for improvement."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"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."
"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"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."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
