GitHub Reviews

We use GitHub for the development process of our online applications.

The solution is open-source and is built around a whole community. 

The product offers an easy way of supporting our or approaching our repository and updating our code.

The solution has been stable for us. 

It can scale well. 

The product has been secure enough. We haven't had any issues with security.

I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product. 

I've been using the solution for three years. 

We haven't had any issues with stability. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. For how we use it, it's reliable.

It is a scalable solution. 

We are not a private company. We are a part of a government institution and we are the IT office of that government institution. There are 14 of us using GitHub.

The product does have a good community around it that can assist users. 

We've never reached out to GitHub technical support services. 

There's no installation process. 

The solution is open-source and free to use. 

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations. We have been quite satisfied with its capabilities. 

I'd rate it eight out of ten. 

The solution mainly serves as our project repository. We use it to maintain different environments with the help of branches.

The product has a good UI. It's simple and easy to access, and technical help is easily available. The two-factor authentication security is another valuable feature. 

I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd.

For personal use, I've been using the solution for two or three years. But in my office, we started using it this year.

Stability is good, it's stable. I haven't found any issues to date, even though it's big data. It works well.

It's a scalable solution. 

We have an infrastructure team that handles technical support and everything else. The things we need are easily available on the internet.

Positive

We used to use GitLab (the free version I think), which had frequent deployment issues. So that's why we shifted to GitHub.

My organization installed everything, including the two-factor authentication security. 

We implemented the solution in-house.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We use it to collaborate on projects, and store projects as well. 

This solution is just easy to use.

Github needs more storage.

I have been using this solution for about five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable for what we need.

There were other solutions that we used previously.

We are just on the entry tier; it is a free tier for education.

I would rate Github an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to exchange files and manage version control.

GitHub have a built-in software application development environment and this has been most useful. 

The storage for this solution could be improved. 

I have been using this solution for two years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This solution is potentially scalable. 

The technical support for this solution is good. 

Positive

The installation for this solution is very easy. 

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for version control.

What I like about GitHub is the ease with which we can use it. For example, when you're developing an application that does not like compiling or does not require compiling, for example, PHP application and Python application. We need to update them on the client side. Sometimes we do automate using GitHub. We use it in a way that we can use it as an update tool on the client side so that when we make an update on the system on our side, it automatically pulls on the client side.

The ability to work as a team is great. In the world of software development teams, like controlling code versions, it's very important to stay on top of everything. GitHub helps us a lot in that. In a distributed work environment where I'm coding here, somebody in India is coding a different part on the same application. We can coordinate very easily on GitHub and synchronize our code.

It’s easy to set up.

The learning curve is small.

The stability is good.

The solution needs some more controls for deleting code and margin. Some of the challenges faced by developers are when maybe you have a junior developer who comes and maybe does something crazy on the repositories. More fine-grained control is required.

I created my GitHub account in 2013. On serious developments, I started around 2017. That's when I went deeper into using it on a day-to-day basis in teams for coordinating the development of various applications.

It’s quite stable. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn’t crash or freeze.

When we are coding and see some unsafe code on the repository, GitHub is able to automatically scan and tell us, "You have a vulnerability somewhere. Maybe certain dependency you are using has vulnerability." And we can cut such vulnerabilities before we release the software.

I've never contacted tech support for GitHub. We have not come across issues. Some of the challenges we get, we can sort as a team. If I'm in Kenya, somebody in India or the US might have the knowledge to solve such a problem and I can rely on them. 

I haven't had a challenge that required me to contact tech support.

We used Bitbucket for version control.

We used TortoiseSVN for a short while for version control for one project. It’s a good one also.

It’s very straightforward to set up. It’s not complex at all.

The learning curve for GitHub is pretty small. The more advanced commands will take a bit of time to learn. However, the basic commands are easy to learn. In a few days, you're good to go.

If you are using public repositories, basically, it's free. For private repositories, you have licenses. For now, we haven't taken any license for our ends, as most of our repositories are public. If we are doing an in-house development, we don't need a license.

I’m using the latest version of the solution.

I’d recommend the solution. It’s ideal for teams.

I would rate it eight out of ten. It’s good. However, there is still room for improvement.

We use this solution for completing repository services code on Azure. We use it for different customers and to design and test environments. We also use it for some background testing.

We are satisfied with the performance, and we've never had any performance issues because we generally use it on a smaller scale. Using the solution feels like we are running a massive development team comprising a couple of other employees and me. We design the environment and can manage the branching and design better.

There could be more integration into Azure. It will make it easier for us to present it to customers.

We have been using this solution for about three years.

It is stable, and we've never had issues.

It is on cloud, so it is pretty scalable. We use it in the consultancy department to test and see customer environments and errors. It is also good when doing a cause analysis because you can see the code that is being used.

The initial setup was easy.

It is a free solution.

I rate this solution a seven out of ten. I would recommend GitHub, but Visual Studio is arguably a bit better.

We primarily use the solution for sourcing candidates.

I like finding individuals with more repositories and more followers, et cetera. It’s great to find the talent who is available and has particular skills.

The solution is scalable.

I do not think they have to increase storage. There’s enough.

From the recruiting standpoint, I would like to see email IDs and phone numbers and a brief introduction about their profile.

I’ve been using the solution for about a year.

The solution is very scalable. It’s expandable if you need it to be.

I’m not sure how many people use the solution in our company.

I’ve never used technical support in the past. I can’t speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution.

There isn’t really an initial setup to deal with.

I can’t speak to the exact cost of the solution.

I’m a customer and end-user.

I’d rate the solution eight out of ten.

Syed:
So, basically, I can store my code in some repository, so we can manage also that version control. So, if he developed some applications, so we can manage with versions, so that feature GitHub provide, so we can create some repositories. Through repositories, we can manage the versions, so it's very useful. So, also and that GitHub provide some CI/CD pipeline feature, so we can integrate CI/CD through GitHub, so whenever I commit that code, it will automatically deployed in our servers, so it was a very useful feature in GitHub.

Tutorial videos within the GitHub dashboard will very helpful.

I have been using this solution for one year. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We have between 300 to 400 users. There are five DevOps staff in our team who take care of maintenance.

This is an open source solution and does not include licensing. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

We use this solution when we speak about the storage, sizing requirements, and POCs.

GitHub is pure or open-source; you can access it anywhere. You can have a lot of collateral information. You can make the changes and do the reviews from one place. 

I think it would be valuable to have more security. Some of the data is very open to everyone.

I have been working with GitHub for three and a half to four years.

It is a stable solution. However, the market is always growing

It is scalable. Most companies and big organizations have a repository on the top scale.

They are very quick.

It is pretty straightforward. You just use your login ID and credentials.

You do not require any third party to configure it for you.

I would rate GitHub an eight and a half out of ten.

We use this solution for DevOps activities.

The flexibility of this solution has been most valuable. It operates on a pay per use basis where you can ramp up or decrease usage.

This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users. 

I have been using this solution for three years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We haven't had any problems where we've run out of capacity. We have 50 users on this solution. 

This solution does not require a big installation. It can be used as and when it is needed without a huge commitment.

I would recommend using Githib to others. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
