Daily workflows have become streamlined as I manage projects, learn from clones, and host sites
The thing that has frustrated me is sometimes when I push using a Git command, I need to force the push, which is the main thing. The setup is frustrating because GitHub could add a repository with pre-installed packages or something since I need to install packages in VS Code before pushing and maintain it in the codebase. Git packages need to be installed manually, and if that was already in a GitHub repository, that would be much better. GitHub packages can be installed previously for the project upon the project requirement, and that is the thing I wanted to add here. That would be good. According to governance and security, I recently heard about some security issues in GitHub. I think that could be centralized and should consider those security issues and clear them. The AI capabilities there include Copilot or something else. I recently heard about security issues, but I do not know about it clearly. However, if security has been more tightened, it will be better.

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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"GitHub's source code management is top-notch."
"I appreciate saving from Visual Studio Code that implements changes directly on GitHub."
"I'm able to access any repository that I like, whether it's public or private."
"Even if I'm not in the office, I can access and work on my code from anywhere with my account credentials."
"The most valuable aspects of GitHub are version control and parallel development. I also appreciate the forking part, which allows us to release a specific set of features to the environment."
"This product is very good for storing and versioning code."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the version control field."
"The versioning of the code and the tracking of changes are definitely some of my top features."
"We never had any reliability issues."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
 

Cons

"The solution could have better support for the Markdown language."
"Github needs more storage."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"When we were using GitHub, sometimes within a month or two, GitHub is down for some time."
"The solution can improve by adding video guides, official guides, or short courses that cater to beginners who are new to the system. These resources could offer step-by-step guidance on how to use GitHub, including common procedures such as pulling and committing. Currently, many of us have to resort to searching for information on how to do these tasks via Google. An official guide provided by GitHub itself would be a valuable asset to newcomers and would save them time and effort."
"We would like this solution to have a more user-friendly interface."
"The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow."
"The project management sector really needs some improvement for GitHub. I don't know if GitHub made sense for me as a project manager."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"The basic licensing model is free, and if you need to have technical support and such things, then it does cost something. You only need to pay extra if you need technical support."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"The licensing model for GitHub is user-based. Whenever the new developer joins we have to get a new license and register their ID. The overall price of the solution is reasonable."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
