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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GitHub provides enough storage for uploading the source code."
"This solution is very easy to use which I like about it, and the capacity to own artifacts and share them with others is another good feature, as you don't have to write all your code from scratch and can use available templates and alter the code according to your needs."
"The support team is good."
"The product has a good UI, it's simple and easy to access, and technical help is easily available, while the two-factor authentication security is another valuable feature."
"With GitHub, we can manage our development progress, CID, and continuous integration. It helps streamline our development processes effectively."
"All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security."
"The product has a very user-friendly interface and user-friendly security."
"Any complex banking can be handled very easily in GitHub, and it allows us to integrate with tools like Grid, where we can merge and resolve conflicts without any hassle."
"As far as the malware repository is concerned, it's extensive. It's a good source for finding samples, where we are unable to find them on other channels or by leveraging other sources."
"As far as static analysis information is concerned, we use most of the information that is available in order to determine whether or not we might be dealing with a malware variant. This includes information that is related to Java rules. This is also related to malware families indicated or specific malicious software variants that are labeled by name."
"We have complete faith that it can do that for us, and can do it at scale."
"It offers reports on a great many more file types than the other analysis solutions we have. It can give us a more in-depth analysis and better reporting on a larger number of file types. It also gives us a more comprehensive score on a number of things as well, and that's why we're using it as a front-end filter. It gives us more information... It's valuable because of its depth of information, as well as the breadth it gives us. There aren't a lot of tools that cover all of the different file types."
"We had nothing in the environment to do such analysis, so it's been a savior in many ways."
"As far as the availability of the content is generally concerned and the number of malicious programs that can be looked up in the repository, these are very extensive."
"The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild."
"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."
 

Cons

"There are some minor areas of improvement that could be made, specifically the onboarding processing which I think could be simplified."
"The onboarding process could be simplified."
"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."
"One thing GitHub could do is probably the same thing as what Sourcetree does. When solving merge conflicts, it would be helpful to have tooltips within the actions to know what changes could happen next when resolving a conflict."
"When we were using GitHub, sometimes within a month or two, GitHub is down for some time."
"GitHub should work on enhancing its search capability. The tool should add some more features and functionalities."
"The product must document the CI/CD process more."
"It would be better if the amount of storage were increased."
"The solution needs to improve integrations."
"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."
"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets. Right now, I can only do them individually."
"We would really like further integration with our threat intelligence platform, which is called ThreatConnect. We would also really like further integrations with an endpoint protection product we use called Tanium. The reason I mentioned both of these is that ReversingLabs claims to have extensive integrations with both of them, but they did not work for us."
"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"I use the free version of GitHub."
"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
"Currently, the license number of lookups that we purchased has not been reached yet, because the integration has only recently been completed. However, our usage is expected and planned to increase over the next couple of months."
"We have a yearly contract based on the number of queries and malicious programs which can be processed."
