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 The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated.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

"The product's initial setup phase is easy but it is always good to connect with GitHub's team that manages APIs."
"GitHub is easy, secure, and widely documented."
"Overall, it's a very good product."
"GitHub is a very good tool, and people should use it more than any other, even Bitbucket."
"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."
"GitHub is the perfect tool for use at present and is extremely necessary."
"GitHub has positively impacted my work by helping us to work in parallel on features and ship and deploy them."
"GitHub is a fundamental tool in the software industry."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
"We never had any reliability issues."
 

Cons

"I would like to see integration with Slack such that all of the changes made in GitHub are reflected there."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."
"The security for this solution could be tightened up and improved."
"The only thing I see missing in GitHub is that it isn't very user friendly for key personnel who don't have in-depth, technical knowledge. In Jira, there are many functions to upload our test cases, and in GitHub we can only do it manually. There are functions which can be used to upload different files, but that still requires some technical knowledge. A layman cannot do it."
"We face issues with synchronization while working with teams."
"It is currently only from the development perspective. It doesn't have features related to project management and testing. It is not like Azure. So, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is a version control product, and it would be good if they can come up with a complete DevOps product."
"Technical support could be better. You quickly realize that most of the time, it is other users that are offering new support, not the actual GitHub team."
"One area for improvement in GitHub could be integration with other tools, such as test management or project management tools."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s an open-source solution."
"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."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"The private repositories are free, which is very good."
"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
