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.

"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."

"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."

Cons

"The integration with Visual Studio Code could be more streamlined."
"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"We want to incorporate management comments within GitHub, making it more like a product management tool. We haven't done that yet. Another change we're considering is migrating from GitHub to Azure DevOps, especially now that Microsoft has introduced it."
"Could be more user friendly."
"When I was new, I faced challenges with Git commands, such as reversing or deleting mistakes."
"The initial setup requires heavy documentation which can be challenging for new developers."
"Sometimes we do not get the exact solution, and the suggested solution does not work, so GitHub could improve in that area."
"I decided not to use GitHub but developed my tool because I found it more efficient. I'm familiar with my tools, making them easier to use. I like being able to customize them to fit my workflow and the way I think.. Software development is like a personal workshop, and I tailor my version control to match my approach."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"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 granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."

"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."

"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
