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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"I find GitHub's pull request strategies and GitHub Actions to be very valuable."
"I use this solution to store my code in a repository so we can manage version control which is useful."
"It provides Draft Pull Requests for review purposes without needing immediate merging and GitHub Actions for CI/CD implementation."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"A great feature is being able to have different repositories and different kinds of projects in a single solution at a single time. It's just a click away."
"I have found GitHub stable."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
"We never had any reliability issues."
 

Cons

"I decided not to use GitHub but developed my tool because I found it more efficient. I'm familiar with my tools, making them easier to use. I like being able to customize them to fit my workflow and the way I think.. Software development is like a personal workshop, and I tailor my version control to match my approach."
"GitHub's issue management could be improved a little from an organization standpoint. It would be helpful to have the ability to organize a work board or a backlog more comprehensively. For organizations migrating to GitHub from arbitrary systems, it's a little bit of a headache to move on to that system."
"The merging features can be improved."
"Another problem is installation."
"The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of interface."
"When I was new, I faced challenges with Git commands, such as reversing or deleting mistakes."
"The documentation needs to be more concise and easier for developers to understand."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
