Improved deployment pipeline visibility with generally good support
My primary use case involves working with GitHub for code management. I have extensive experience using it for various tasks, such as creating repositories, managing pull requests, and utilizing GitHub Actions for automating workflows GitHub contributes to efficient project management by…

Great for hybrid workers, minimizes latency and delivers great performance
We haven't encountered major issues with the solution. We are really happy that we decided to purchase Venn Software, although they are quite new. The initial setup is seamless. It's not overly complex. In our experience, for the most part, the solution is reliable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches. That said, the performance could be a bit better. We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities. The solution needs to offer better local or regional support to cater to offshore users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of GitHub is version control and continuous integration."
"The initial setup was easy."
"All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public."
"Has great integration with third-party tools."
"Even if I'm not in the office, I can access and work on my code from anywhere with my account credentials."
"The Projects Tab, which shows you the todo list and the progress for projects, is very helpful."
"We don't need to go to the physical office, and it only requires minimal supervision or assistance from our IT Team."
"Since the software is launched directly from the computer, not remotely delivered, it has minimized latency and response time."
"It allows us to improve our security and prevent company files and data leaks."
 

Cons

"There is a bit of a learning curve."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."
"The solution's cost is high and should be reduced."
"The query function in GitHub is a bit stiff."
"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 could improve by being more user-friendly."
"GitHub should work on enhancing its search capability. The tool should add some more features and functionalities."
"The sign in process is a bit difficult."
"We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities."
"It would be better to have the back end more efficient."
"Currently, Venn only uses two platforms/applications: Windows and Mac. It would be great if they could also add more platforms since some BYOD employees might be using an application other than Windows or Mac - for example, Linux."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I haven't had to pay anything for GitHub, I use the free version."
"You don't have to pay for a license if you are using the free version."
"It is open-source. There is no license for GitHub."
"We are currently paying nothing for GitHub."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"I use the free version of the tool."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
