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.

Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle
When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Previously, security professionals had to spend a lot of time and effort running around, asking people to fix issues in their products, architectures, code, and even networks. With ShiftLeft, everything becomes robust and secure from within. Instead of relying on external measures like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) that are applied from the outside in, ShiftLeft takes a proactive approach. It helps prevent issues from arising in the first place, making it much easier for both security teams and developers. It's also cost-effective because you don't have to constantly go back, make changes to the code, and then push it again. Writing secure code from the start ensures that there are no vulnerabilities when it goes live. So, I would say the main features of ShiftLeft are its cost-effectiveness and ease of adaptability or use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are GitHub are the standard features, they are very useful."
"If you're looking for storing files and code, GitHub is the best and most secure solution."
"GitHub's merging feature is much better than that of other products because merging is done daily."
"GitHub is a very stable solution."
"GitHub is impacting our organization a lot in a positive way because everyone is using it, we are familiar with GitHub and have been using it for the last five to six years in place of GitLab and Bitbucket, and this is easier and more stable, having proper maintenance with no downtime."
"The product has a very user-friendly interface and user-friendly security."
"Overall, it's a very good product."
"GitHub is good for small companies and for personal use."
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
 

Cons

"I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product."
"GitHub could improve in resolving conflicts when multiple developers modify the same line of code."
"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."
"I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd."
"Security could make GitHub better. OWASP Top Ten security advisors could be integrated on GitHub, and it could provide checks and advice."
"Specifically, I want the solution to offer AI-based merging support, as it is the only area where the product has certain shortcomings."
"GitHub's issue management could be improved a little from an organization standpoint. It would be helpful to have the ability to organize a work board or a backlog more comprehensively. For organizations migrating to GitHub from arbitrary systems, it's a little bit of a headache to move on to that system."
"The sign in process is a bit difficult. Signing up was challenging at that time."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
 

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."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"GitHub is an open-source application. It's free to use."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
