User-friendly, easy to install, reliable, and effective project management
Pros and Cons
  • "Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications."
  • "It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."

What is our primary use case?

I use Git to manage my personal projects involving web basics, web design, and web pages. I am able to clone most things using Git.

I use it for web design version control. I also conduct a lot of research on open-source technologies that we can install using Git.

I have discovered that most of the solutions offered on Git can also be found on Docker.

How has it helped my organization?

It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace.

What is most valuable?

Version control is beneficial as it allows me to keep track of all the modifications I have made to the applications.

What needs improvement?

I have no problems with Git and prefer using the Terminal Point of View for its high speed.

I attempted to use an alternative user interface, but it was too sluggish for me. I discovered that the Terminal is more efficient and rapid for executing events on Linux and Ubuntu. Its swiftness in event deployment is remarkable.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Git for three or four years.

I update the versions every now and then.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of Git a nine out of ten.

Performing periodic updates can be time-consuming, but it is not a significant concern as it doesn't disrupt my schedule. However, I do need to make a conscious effort to initiate the updates.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Git is a scalable solution.

Another advantage is that any team can work on it effortlessly, even large teams, making it highly collaborative.

I am currently using it and there are only a few people who I would like to share my changes with. With the current capability to view the modifications I have made, I am able to open it and see the updates for my team.

I am not planning to increase my usage at this time.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Ever since I began my training in web and development, it was the easiest platform for me to use and was the only one that was introduced. I did not explore others.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment process was quick for me. I was able to execute it on my personal computer and also clone it to my personal Git account.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am not required to pay due to the small number of users we have. 

We have a small user base, and we are not using the enterprise version.

What other advice do I have?

I highly recommend others use Git for version control.

Because of its version control, I would rate Git a ten out of ten.

A solution useful for creating and uploading codes with ease
Pros and Cons
  • "Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
  • "If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated."

What is our primary use case?

I use Git mainly to create new reports to store my project and to keep track of the changes I made in my code. So these are the main reasons why all people use Git.

How has it helped my organization?

I did use it in my organization as well. I did use it personally, but it was very easy to use it by yourself, especially when you create and upload your code, it's easy. If other people are included in their project, you're going to have to make merge requests to merge the code you made, and the code your colleagues have made. So it's a little bit complicated. So, when I started using it in my organization, It was a bit messy, but I finally got it.

What is most valuable?

Speaking about features, it helps to keep track of your code if it changes, especially to find who made the changes. The solution also makes it easy for other people to change your code.

What needs improvement?

I don't think it does need any improvement for now since Git is a free, open-source project.

To be honest, I didn't even get close to seeing all its current features. So, I can't imagine any new features that I would be able to recommend.

If it was possible to pay for a Git solution, I would pay for it. However, it's difficult in my country. So I mainly enjoy the free solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Git for four years. Also, I am using the solution's latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Git is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I don't think that it is even possible to count it as a scalable tool.

How are customer service and support?

I never tried to reach tech support.

How was the initial setup?

GitHub and GitLab were pretty good repositories for Git servers. So, I was using the solution on the cloud.

I did not deploy it. I was using already deployed solutions like GitLab and GitHub. I never did even try to deploy it.

What was our ROI?

I think it's a good investment, but I'm using the free version of the solution.

What other advice do I have?

My recommendation to others to use the solution would depend on their usage. If it's for their personal use, it's going to be easy. But if he was going to use it in an organization or for a personal project with a lot of friends or colleagues, then that would be a different story. You need to be concentrated, and I think a lot before making any changes to the code because every mistake can create a lot of problems.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

It has a large community, so there are lots of resources
Pros and Cons
  • "Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use."
  • "The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously."

What is our primary use case?

I'm doing little projects to teach myself things and storing them in a Git repository. We have about 20 users at my company. We're open to using it more.

What is most valuable?

Git is a product everyone uses, so it's almost inescapable. I like the fact that there is a large ecosystem around it. You can bolt various graphical user interfaces onto it or sign up for various repositories like GitHub and AWS CodeCommit. Git has a large community, so there are lots of resources and knowledge bases you can use. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Git for about three years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Git seven out of 10 for scalability. The scalability could be better. I think it requires some discipline to have large teams working on the same project without facing problems merging code. I'm using Git for personal projects, but I know companies face merge conflicts when more than one person is working on code simultaneously. 

How was the initial setup?

Git is easy to set up. I've done it multiple times on various systems, and it only takes a few minutes. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Git eight out of 10.

Straightforward setup but not user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code."
  • "It's not very user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

Version control and repository management are the main use cases for Git.

What is most valuable?

The repository management and check-in/check-out commands are the most valuable features for ensuring secure code. It's a client-side tool that we install in our local company and connect to the cloud product for use cases.

What needs improvement?

It should be more user-friendly. Git provides important commands for projects. It's not very user-friendly, but it's okay.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for one year. We're using the test version. It's integrated with TSS.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are 50-60 users in my company. We use it based on the use case.

How was the initial setup?

It's straightforward. It takes around ten to fifteen minutes to set up.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment can be done in-house. The deployment process is good but there may be a learning curve for some users. However, it could benefit from additional hands-on experience, particularly for enterprise-level usage.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. I prefer using other tools that are more user-friendly.
