Very good for collaboration on software projects
We use GitHub for code repository alongside Bitbucket GitHub is very good for collaboration on software projects. We prefer Bitbucket for commercial use, while GitHub is used for open source. You can get the differences, history of changes, and version control for various pull requests. You can…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GitHub provides the SFH key to protect our passwords and connection."
"I find the most valuable collaboration between our peers to be a seamless collaboration between our peers. We can connect and change our code, allowing us to be agile in our projects. Since we're talking about DevOps, we're using Jenkins in our pipeline. It helps speed up the process by automating the DevOps workflow."
"GitHub is a very good tool, and people should use it more than any other, even Bitbucket."
"We use GitHub instead of our regular shared drive. It offers instant access to shared folders as well as good security."
"I appreciate saving from Visual Studio Code that implements changes directly on GitHub."
"The most valuable aspects of GitHub are version control and parallel development. I also appreciate the forking part, which allows us to release a specific set of features to the environment."
"Even if I'm not in the office, I can access and work on my code from anywhere with my account credentials."
"GitHub is good for small companies and for personal use."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"Regarding improvements, I preferred the tool's earlier pricing model, which limited storage and the number of repositories instead of the number of users, which was more convenient from a customer perspective. I've also experienced issues with GitHub servers being unable to support moving repositories, which caused problems. For basic plans, no support was available to help resolve these issues. I think GitHub should provide more support for smaller businesses to help with these problems."
"GitHub could expand the limits of the free version."
"There are still areas for improvement with GitHub Actions and their deployment workflows, as they have made significant progress but are not yet polished."
"The GUI design is poor, so I exclusively use the CLI, which is much easier to use and understand. It would be great to see the GUI updated to be more user-friendly."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"Specifically, I want the solution to offer AI-based merging support, as it is the only area where the product has certain shortcomings."
"It would be useful to have tutorial videos within the GitHub dashboard."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, there are some costs my organization pays."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"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."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"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 product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
