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.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
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. The solution should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

Quotes from Members

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

"We liked it because it was solving all of our queries, and whatever our needs were, we were able to accomplish them with GitHub."
"It provides Draft Pull Requests for review purposes without needing immediate merging and GitHub Actions for CI/CD implementation."
"GitHub's integrations with third-party applications are quite good for the needs that we have today."
"GitHub is good for small companies and for personal use."
"The control is the most valuable feature as developers can work on a single code."

"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."

Cons

"There could be some improvements related to the automation of certain processes, especially with the integration of artificial intelligence."
"There are some minor areas of improvement that could be made, specifically the onboarding processing which I think could be simplified."
"GitHub could improve in resolving conflicts when multiple developers modify the same line of code."
"It would be beneficial if GitHub provided some security scanning for new libraries to ensure that there are no viruses in it."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."

"If we have complex branch strategies, it becomes very complicated to manage all those branches."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."

"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"It’s an open-source solution."

"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
