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.

It checks for and reports vulnerabilities on all SAP systems at the OS, DB and SAP levels.
I really love how Onapsis X1 is able to check SAP for threats; the reporting was something I felt could be improved. It could be a little easier to use and to publish for consumption with a larger audience. Currently, it takes some background jobs and additional work to get them published. It was difficult to get interactive reports to the different levels of the business. I would have to download them and send them out, or save them on my SharePoint site and send out a weekly link. In the version of the product I was usingת I had to log into the X1 system directly to get to the reports. Reporting would be used by several different areas of the organizationת many of whom would be at the director and executive levels. It would not make sense to have them log directly into the tool to look at these reports. Add to this that there was only one ID that could be used to log in and view the reports. To solve this problemת I had to run all of the different reports; executive summary down to detailed analysis and then export them out to my security team SharePoint site. To automate this processת a batch script was created to run after the X1 analyzed the systems. The script would pull the reports and place them in the SharePoint site automatically, but it was a bit of a hassle to get set up.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GitHub is specifically designed for repositories and it works perfectly for storing code; we use it for our source code repository."
"GitHub's source code management is top-notch. It's easy to inspect changes and visualize code and differences. Their action system is comprehensive in terms of making changes and automation."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it's cloud-based, and we don't have to manage an on-premises server to use it."
"We liked it because it was solving all of our queries, and whatever our needs were, we were able to accomplish them with GitHub."
"GitHub provides the SFH key to protect our passwords and connection."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
"I find GitHub very user friendly."
"It has hardened our SAP system by providing details of vulnerabilities in our SAP landscape."
 

Cons

"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"I'd like GitHub to become a more user friendly solution."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."
"Technical support could be better. You quickly realize that most of the time, it is other users that are offering new support, not the actual GitHub team."
"GitHub uses basic configuration, but messaging is not clear."
"Another problem is installation."
"The solution needs some more controls for deleting code and margin."
"If something has to be moved into approvals, and if they don't approve it in a few hours, then they should move the approval request to some other user, or they should have a way to escalate it."
"Reporting was something I felt could be improved. It could be a little easier to use and to publish for consumption with a larger audience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"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."
"If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub."
"GitHub is an open-source application. It's free to use."
"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."
"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
