Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"All of the features in Git are useful.""The implementation is easy.""Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The product protects our data.""I believe it is beneficial to maintain a detailed log or history of who did what to a project and which user committed to the change.""I use the solution for website management.""The product is easy to 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."

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."

Cons
"Git is mostly command based and needs to have a helpful user interface.""I would like to see an improvement in the way the product owner can review changes.""If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically.""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 tool is complicated for a beginner. You need to have some training to use it. It is also hard to find a parameter.""I would like to see less updates with the product.""More security is always welcome in my opinion.""In our company, we sometimes feel the need to have certain kinds of reports, but we never get those customized reports in Git's dashboard."

    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.
