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.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto. The solution should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

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 feature is the fact that it's cloud-based, and we don't have to manage an on-premises server to use it."
"The ability to track external changes to repositories we are using has been very useful for us."
"The most valuable features are GitHub Actions for triggering workflows, GitHub Secrets for saving credentials without needing a third-party service, and the UI for identifying errors in the code when we commit."
"We are using GitHub because it is open-source software, which is the most valuable solution for us."
"The collaboration is really great, it has really worked and has really helped me a lot, and I find that it is a very important feature."
"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."
"We are using GitHub for all of our repositories where we can store the code, collaborate with different developers, build, and create a pipeline."
"GitHub allows you to create pages, and if you want to share documents you can create articles and diagrams with GitHub and share, and on a personal level, GitHub assists you to create your own website."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
 

Cons

"The only problem we have is that our firewall was blocking cloning and downloading with SSH."
"Sometimes we do not get the exact solution, and the suggested solution does not work, so GitHub could improve in that area."
"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."
"GitHub could expand the limits of the free version."
"The product must document the CI/CD process more."
"There could be some improvements related to the automation of certain processes, especially with the integration of artificial intelligence."
"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."
"I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"The pricing of this solution is quite high, about double what other similar solutions cost."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"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."
"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 use the free version of the tool."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
