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

"All of the features in Git are useful."
"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."
"Git has a lot of online tutorials and resources available."
"Git is easy to manage...It is helpful for me and easy to manage the interface we are using from development to production."
"Git offers the ability to roll back to the previous version. You can also track all the small changes that you do."
"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."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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

"It's not very user-friendly."
"The tool's user interface is terrible. It needs to be more user-friendly."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"Git's user interface could be improved."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"We would like to see tutorials added to the product, for new users to follow so that they can optimize their use of the solution."
"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."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"The pricing is quite high."
"One thing we faced issues with is that Liquibase does not show the exact error, which added to the complexity."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"There are some extra costs to Git, but it depends on your use case."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"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 use the open-source version."
"Git is free and you don't have to pay for it."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Git is an open-source software."
"The pricing is fair."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
