A solution useful for creating and uploading codes with ease
Pros and Cons
  • "Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
  • "If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."

What is our primary use case?

I use Git mainly to create new reports to store my project and to keep track of the changes I made in my code. So these are the main reasons why all people use Git.

How has it helped my organization?

I did use it in my organization as well. I did use it personally, but it was very easy to use it by yourself, especially when you create and upload your code, it's easy. If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated. So, when I started using it in my organization, It was a bit messy, but I finally got it.

What is most valuable?

Speaking about features, it helps to keep track of your code if it changes, especially to find who made the changes. The solution also makes it easy for other people to change your code.

What needs improvement?

I don't think it does need any improvement for now since Git is a free, open-source project.

To be honest, I didn't even get close to seeing all its current features. So, I can't imagine any new features that I would be able to recommend.

If it was possible to pay for a Git solution, I would pay for it. However, it's difficult in my country. So I mainly enjoy the free solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't think that it is even possible to count it as a scalable tool.

How are customer service and support?

How was the initial setup?

GitHub and GitLab were pretty good repositories for Git servers. So, I was using the solution on the cloud.

I did not deploy it. I was using already deployed solutions like GitLab and GitHub. I never did even try to deploy it.

What was our ROI?

I think it's a good investment, but I'm using the free version of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

My recommendation to others to use the solution would depend on their usage. If it's for their personal use, it's going to be easy. But if he was going to use it in an organization or for a personal project with a lot of friends or colleagues, then that would be a different story. You need to be concentrated, and I think a lot before making any changes to the code because every mistake can create a lot of problems.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Branch Management is helpful, but the GUI needs to be improved to make it more usable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality."
  • "The GUI needs to be improved."

We use this solution to assist with our development.

We are using the on-premise deployment model, with Git installed on our server.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the branch management functionality.

The GUI needs to be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of this solution is very good.

Top 5
Centralized code access with strong version control and remote availability
Pros and Cons
  • "The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials."
  • "There is nothing that could be improved at this time."

What is our primary use case?

I use Git to store our code and maintain different versions, and for some projects, we use CI/CD as part of GitHub.

How has it helped my organization?

We centralize all our code in Git, which makes it very useful. Having the code centralized means we can easily access it and control its version efficiently.

What is most valuable?

The best feature is that we can access it from anywhere if we have GitHub credentials. There is also a private option where our code is accessible only to our organization. Additionally, if there are issues with a local machine, the code can be pulled from GitHub anytime, anywhere, which is another great option.

What needs improvement?

There is nothing that could be improved at this time.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Git for almost three years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Git is very stable. It never breaks down.

How are customer service and support?

I never had to contact the Git support team for any reason.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy to use. Anyone who needs version control systems can use it.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Git to other people. I'd rate it nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
