We performed a comparison between GitHub and Sonatype Repository Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."GitHub is the best tool for source repositories."
"The learning curve is small."
"GitHub is good for collaboration because everyone can access it or we can restrict access to a few users. If I upload a file and share the URL, it's not restricted to a set number of users. Everyone with the link can download the files."
"We've found the technical support to be very helpful."
"Complication free with good ability for third-party integrations."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"I did not have any issues with the stability of Github. It worked seamlessly."
"We can make a private repository."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"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."
"I would like to see more security where a plugin was available for us to update in relation to security."
"I would want to see some form of code security scanning implemented."
"There is room for improvement in terms of interface."
"Scalability is an area with a shortcoming, because of which it has room for improvement."
"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."
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
