An easy-to-use solution that can be used for configuration management
We use Git for configuration management Git is an easy-to-use solution that can be used for parallel working. Git's user interface could be improved. I have been using Git for almost eight years. Git is a stable solution. Git is a scalable solution. Around 2,000 users use the solution in our…

Offers integration with multiple databases, stable product and reduced our manual intervention
I would recommend using it. To learn Liquibase, one should have some database knowledge. If the person is from a DBA background, they would be able to learn quickly. But if they are from an application or infrastructure role, it's medium complex. Before getting started, you should thoroughly go through the documentation and follow the latest changes deployed by the Liquibase product team. Basically, when using the product, you should be able to understand it and stay updated on the latest releases. Overall, I would rate the product a nine out of ten. Organizations should have this kind of tool to reduce manual intervention. The one point they could improve on is documentation, which they haven't clarified, and they need to work on that a lot.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Git is an easy-to-use solution that can be used for parallel working."
"The most valuable feature is having access to the local country repository even if we have problems with distance access."
"Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
"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."
"I like Git's merging feature. For example, say there is an instance where I am working on the same code as another developer. Git automatically merges the work of two developers on the same file. If I'm working on line 50 and he's working on 60, and we both commit, it mergest automatically."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"I use the solution for website management."
"The best thing about this solution is that it can be learned very quickly, and used very easily."
"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

"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"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."
"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface."
"I would like to see less updates with the product."
"Some challenges arise when Git is not used correctly, particularly in managing branches. It's easy to get lost, but these challenges can be overcome with proper management. A common advice is maintaining the repository and ensuring developers are in sync with the production branch. Branches should be promptly merged into development to avoid getting lost in many branches."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes."
"The product needs to improve its UI."
"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."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Git is completely free."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"Git is an open-source software."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"The tool is free."
"We use the open-source version."
"I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
