Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use.""The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Since I am a very simple user of the tool, its scalability is good for me.""The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows.""The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily.""The most valuable feature of Git is its reliability and user popularity.""The implementation is easy.""Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."

More Git Pros →

"They have some nice features around the automation of rule checking. They have a rules engine that checks the SQL code so that you can actually do your edit checks on the validity of the SQL code. If you don't want certain tables to be able to have certain things done to them, you can have it checked for that. It's a very flexible way to kind of do an automated peer review of the SQL code to catch things before you actually try to deploy it.""The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation.""It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."

Cons
"The tool is complicated for a beginner. You need to have some training to use it. It is also hard to find a parameter.""More security is always welcome in my opinion.""It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace.""The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously.""The UI can be more user-friendly.""It's not very user-friendly.""The solution could be more user-friendly.""Git removed the credential feature."

"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue.""One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity.""The pricing is quite high."

    Overview
    Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.

    Liquibase is a migration-based open source database version control solution that relies on a changelog to track what changesets have been deployed to a database, and what additional changesets needs to be applied to a database in order to migrate a database schema to a specific version. Liquibase supports an XML model for defining changesets so that database schema changes can easily be translated to another DBMS platforms. As an open source solution, Liquibase is ideal for smaller teams and projects or for teams that have ample time to invest in extending and adapting the open source capability to meet their needs.
