Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product gives a few false positives. We get 99 percent true positives."
"Protect provides us with more in-depth visibility into ongoing attacks."
"The solution has excellent real-time capabilities."
"The solution is scalable."
"GitHub is good for collaboration because everyone can access it or we can restrict access to a few users. If I upload a file and share the URL, it's not restricted to a set number of users. Everyone with the link can download the files."
"There are no issues. It's simple, easy, and fully compatible from my perspective with Git."
"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."
"Any complex banking can be handled very easily in GitHub. It allows us to integrate with tools like Grid, where we can merge and resolve conflicts without any hassle."
"Has great integration with third-party tools."
"I'm able to access any repository that I like, whether it's public or private."
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features."
"Contrast Security Protect needs to improve integration."
"Protect's reporting GUI is very basic. To get all statuses from the APIs, we needed to write our own KPI dashboard to provide reports."
"There's room for improvement in the initial setup."
"This solution could be improved if migration was fully automated to make it easy, for example, to migrate repositories into GitHub."
"It is currently only from the development perspective. It doesn't have features related to project management and testing. It is not like Azure. So, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is a version control product, and it would be good if they can come up with a complete DevOps product."
"If something has to be moved into approvals, and if they don't approve it in a few hours, then they should move the approval request to some other user, or they should have a way to escalate it."
"The security for this solution could be tightened up and improved."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings of the product."
"I would like to see integration with Slack such that all of the changes made in GitHub are reflected there."
"GitHub's issue management could be improved a little from an organization standpoint. It would be helpful to have the ability to organize a work board or a backlog more comprehensively. For organizations migrating to GitHub from arbitrary systems, it's a little bit of a headache to move on to that system."
