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's version control is valuable."
"GitHub's integrations with third-party applications are quite good for the needs that we have today."
"Has great integration with third-party tools."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"If you're looking for storing files and code, GitHub is the best and most secure solution."
"During our use of GitHub, we have not encountered any problems and GitHub adds new features frequently."
"It has hardened our SAP system by providing details of vulnerabilities in our SAP landscape."
 

Cons

"Initially, I had difficulty understanding at the beginner level, but now I know how to commit, how to push, how to pull, how to sync, and the different functionalities available."
"The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow."
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if GitHub provided some security scanning for new libraries to ensure that there are no viruses in it."
"I'd like to see a better search function."
"It is currently only from the development perspective. It doesn't have features related to project management and testing. It is not like Azure. So, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is a version control product, and it would be good if they can come up with a complete DevOps product."
"I think one area where GitHub could improve is its search and navigation functionality within repositories. For example, we use IDEs like IntelliJ or Visual Studio Code when developing code. These IDEs allow us to easily navigate from one piece of code to another file where a method is being called. It would be really helpful if the solution could add this navigation feature."
"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

"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"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."
"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."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
