Improved deployment pipeline visibility with generally good support
My primary use case involves working with GitHub for code management. I have extensive experience using it for various tasks, such as creating repositories, managing pull requests, and utilizing GitHub Actions for automating workflows GitHub contributes to efficient project management by…

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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"The most valuable features are GitHub Actions for triggering workflows, GitHub Secrets for saving credentials without needing a third-party service, and the UI for identifying errors in the code when we commit."
"Complication free with good ability for third-party integrations."
"I appreciate saving from Visual Studio Code that implements changes directly on GitHub."
"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."
"The features of GitHub are very nice and helpful for developers."
"Has great integration with third-party tools."
"GitHub is pure or open-source; you can access it anywhere. You can have a lot of collateral information. You can make the changes and do the reviews from one place."
"Our code is secure."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
 

Cons

"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"GitHub could add more security features. I am not sure how secure it is. If they provide more security features, then it can be used in more official applications."
"The documentation needs to be more concise and easier for developers to understand."
"The initial setup requires heavy documentation which can be challenging for new developers."
"One thing GitHub could do is probably the same thing as what Sourcetree does. When solving merge conflicts, it would be helpful to have tooltips within the actions to know what changes could happen next when resolving a conflict."
"The solution's cost is high and should be reduced."
"There is nothing that I find that needs improvement in GitHub."
"The project management sector really needs some improvement for GitHub. I don't know if GitHub made sense for me as a project manager."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GitHub is an open-source application. It's free to use."
"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."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"GitHub is a cost-effective solution."
"The price of this solution is reasonable."
"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"I use the free version of GitHub."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about GitHub?
The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for GitHub?
GitHub is very stable for me with no performance issues.
What needs improvement with GitHub?
When working with the CI/CD pipeline and somebody is writing the workflow file, it would be best to include the AI feature so if they write incorrect code, it will notify me about it in the same da...
