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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"GitHub Actions, specifically in the DevOps field, have been extremely valuable."
"All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public."
"If you want to share documents, you can create articles and diagrams with GitHub and share."
"We can make a private repository."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"The features of GitHub are very nice and helpful for developers."
"The most valuable feature is help offered by the community for open-source projects."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the version control field."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
 

Cons

"The merging features can be improved."
"The user interface on GitLab is better."
"There is nothing that I find that needs improvement in GitHub."
"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 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."
"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."
"It would be useful to have tutorial videos within the GitHub dashboard."
"GitHub uses basic configuration, but messaging is not clear."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool offers a free program. As you go, you can upgrade from the community version to the professional one. I believe it costs about ten dollars per person, per month."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
"It's cheaper than Bitbucket."
"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?
I am not aware about the pricing, so I will not be able to give feedback.
What needs improvement with GitHub?
Sometimes we do not get the exact solution, and the suggested solution does not work, so GitHub could improve in that area. We have used GitHub mainly for the code generation part. That is the only...
