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

"I like that it's easy to use and because it's accessible from a terminal or a graphical user interface if needed. I also like that we can pass comments from Linux if required."
"The features I am most impressed by is the automation."
"Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work."
"Git is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Git is the ease of tracking in time what the snapshot of the code was at a particular moment. The versioning is good."
"I use the solution for website management."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"The solution is easy to use, and it has very clear documentation."
"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."
"It will be useful for teams to automate and reduce manual work."
 

Cons

"I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."
"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 solution could improve by having more customization."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"Git can improve the size of the depository it can handle and add the capability to detect the change between common files, such as Excel and PDF documents."
"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."
"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."
"More security is always welcome in my opinion."
"We were not able to delete some of the tables because of a security issue."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"Git is completely free."
"As a student, I didn't have to pay for the license."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of charge."
"This is an open-source solution, so there are no licensing fees associated with it, and no extra, 'hidden' charges."
"The platform is less expensive."
"Liquibase is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is fair."
