Utilize Agile methodologies with efficient project management, yet seek improvements in resolving merge conflicts
SourceTree is one of the best tools from a UI perspective. However, I would prefer if SourceTree could address merge conflicts more easily. Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code, providing a comprehensive tool for both development and code management, is favored because it can serve as both a development tool and a client for pushing or pulling code, resolving conflicts efficiently. It would be beneficial if SourceTree could offer similar integrated functionalities.
Munisaiteja Narravula - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient integration of code changes with seamless private repository management
AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly. It doesn't require any complex authentication, which makes the process seamless. Deployments happen in a straightforward manner once the code is organized correctly in the repository. The platform allows the creation of private repositories, securing and restricting access to our team members only. This ensures that unauthorized users cannot access sensitive files. AWS CodeCommit also integrates well when we use it with Check Point allowing us to implement information in the criteria we need.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is very good and is easy to use. It tells you when you've committed, when you've uploaded, and gives you the differences."
"Atlassian SourceTree is a very stable product."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to fix a broken repository merge."
"The tool's UI is good."
"For me, the branches ' graph was the most valuable feature of Atlassian SourceTree. I often used the terminal, but during a demo, my boss preferred I not switch to the terminal view. SourceTree's graphical interface for managing branches was handy for that. The demo involved making changes, committing them, pushing to the CI/CD tool, running the pipeline, and seeing the integration, all within about twenty minutes."
"The most valuable feature of AWS CodeCommit is that it acts as a code repository with code versioning and approval features similar to those found on GitHub."
"The customer service is pretty good."
"AWS CodeCommit has the usual version control features, and it integrates with AWS CodeGuru for code reviews."
"The solution's most valuable feature is versioning."
"AWS CodeCommit's user interface is nice, and it's easy for people to pick up."
"AWS CodeCommit is highly user-friendly."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"What I find best about AWS CodeCommit is its seamless integration with the AWS ecosystem."
 

Cons

"People think that Visual Studio Code is more intuitive and can serve dual purposes for development and as a client to push or pull code."
"For everyday use, I am more comfortable using the command line interface, rather than using SourceTree."
"The product's UI needs improvement."
"I have had a food experience with Atlassian SourceTree but it might not be for everyone."
"Its interface could be easy to understand for a programmer."
"The visuals, including the UI and UX, have simple fonts, making it an area where certain enhancements can be done."
"Although CodeCommit's user interface is good, it can be improved when compared to other version controls like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket."
"When I compare code, AWS has a cap on the file size, and that size is pretty small compared to what GitHub and GitLab provide."
"Not really that much stands out. I am using CodeCommit since my customer asked me to use it. It is just an appliance, and GitHub and GitLab can do a better job."
"There is room for improvement in Insight Analytics."
"There is room for improvement in how AWS CodeCommit handles mass changes, like Fortran, which is designed to make these alterations in a friendly manner across AWS requirements."
"The Git interfaces in AWS CodeCommit definitely need work. When we migrated our payment processing system at Huntington, we found the web UI to be basic compared to GitHub and GitLab."
"The solution could be more user-friendly and cheaper."
"Migration in and out of CodeCommit should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a fee for using SourceTree."
"Atlassian SourceTree is a free solution."
"I do not recall the exact pricing details for SourceTree, but generally, Atlassian products are affordable, and SourceTree typically comes as part of a suite."
"AWS CodeCommit is competitively priced against all the other competitors."
"The solution is expensive."
"As for pricing, you can add the table in detail. You can visit Bitbucket or refer to any other tools. There, you can see what is the difference between your pricing and other prices. You have only mentioned it in a single line. Other tools have been mentioned in a table format, like, how many users, premium, normal accounts, and other things."
