CI/CD workflows have become streamlined and AI support has improved collaborative development

We are using GitHub because it is open-source software, which is the most valuable solution for us. The open source and community support are very good. We are always up-to-date with the community, and integration difficulty is very low. If you integrate any CI/CD solutions on GitHub, it's very easy. We started using GitHub about three months ago with AI integration. For our deployments, some developers can be very shy about asking for descriptions on their commits. We are using AI support for comments and deployment management, which is beautiful. We are not using the GitHub API for automating workflows in our projects. I give GitHub a five-star rating for the review capabilities. I also give GitHub five stars for integration with third-party applications. There is a lot of integration available on GitHub. If you want to integrate something, even if it could be integrated before GitHub, you can make your code and integrate your own in-house applications. It's a very easy and powerful aspect of GitHub.

Good call routing capability, but the interface is non-intuitive, the integration is bad, and the mobile app needs improvement

Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent. We left Broadview for Intermedia because, at the end of the day, we are in the business of being a complete IT solution, which we can't do without offering a phone system. We are firm believers in practicing what you preach (or dogfooding if you prefer). As I stated previously, they dropped us as vendors because we couldn't sell many systems. The auto-attendant setup was horrid. It was extremely dated and doesn't have any modern features that you would expect for the price point. The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated. One reason we couldn't sell the product is that they nickel and dime you to death. For example, a line is one price. If you want a soft phone, that's extra. Mobile app? Extra. Auto-attendant? Yup... extra. We went with Intermedia because they have a far more modern system with seamless integration and simpler pricing. It is one price per user that includes everything Broadview charges extra for. Finally, after we switched, Broadview is trying to extort us for a year's fees stating we didn't terminate the contract in time. Importantly, we did, but it was "auto-renewed." Basically, if you want phone technology from the '90s and the practices to go along with it, Broadview is your ticket.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend using GitHub because it is reliable and helpful for developers."

"I appreciate saving from Visual Studio Code that implements changes directly on GitHub."

"The solution is stable; there are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze, and it has been reliable with good performance."

"The support team is good."

"This solution definitely feels stable, and I've never had an issue with it."

"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."

"The solution provides good customization and support."

"We are using GitHub because it is open-source software, which is the most valuable solution for us."

More GitHub pros

"We never had any reliability issues."

"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."

Cons

"As of now, if I would like to learn about GitHub or its features, I would have to look on YouTube. It would be nice if they were able to send out a newsletter with explanations of new features that they are offering and what features are available."

"GitHub could expand the limits of the free version."

"GitHub could improve by being more user-friendly."

"There can be conflict issues when two developers work on the same file or line of code, and it would be great to see that improved, possibly with an AI solution."

"One area for improvement in GitHub could be integration with other tools, such as test management or project management tools."

"I think one area where GitHub could improve is its search and navigation functionality within repositories. For example, we use IDEs like IntelliJ or Visual Studio Code when developing code. These IDEs allow us to easily navigate from one piece of code to another file where a method is being called. It would be really helpful if the solution could add this navigation feature."

"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."

"There could be more integration into Azure. It will make it easier for us to present it to customers."

More GitHub cons

"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."

"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is reasonable."

"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."

"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."

"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."

"I use the free version of GitHub."

"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."

"GitHub is a cost-effective solution."

"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."

Overview

GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.
