Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"It provides Draft Pull Requests for review purposes without needing immediate merging and GitHub Actions for CI/CD implementation."
"I appreciate saving from Visual Studio Code that implements changes directly on GitHub."
"It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"The features of GitHub are very nice and helpful for developers."
"The code sharing and updated history are valuable features."
"The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code."
"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."

"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."

Cons

"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."
"There is nothing that I find that needs improvement in GitHub."
"We would like this solution to have a more user-friendly interface."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"The UI is a little outdated, so that could be improved."
"The security point should be addressed in the next release and scaling is also an issue."
"I faced one or two breakdowns. That said, they lasted only for a few seconds or a minute."
"GitHub needs to improve its UI."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"The basic licensing model is free, and if you need to have technical support and such things, then it does cost something. You only need to pay extra if you need technical support."
"Regarding pricing, I'd rate it eight out of ten. It's decent and not too expensive, and small businesses can also afford it. With AWS taking CodeCommit out of the market, I don't see many competitors for small companies in terms of GitHub."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"It's cheaper than Bitbucket."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
