Find out in this report how the two Version Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The interface is very good and is easy to use. It tells you when you've committed, when you've uploaded, and gives you the differences."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to fix a broken repository merge."
"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."
"The product helps our team collaborate across different locations."
"The code versioning is excellent, and having a detailed log, including every change made to the code by every developer, is invaluable. It makes it so that if there is a bug or problem in the product channel, we can find exactly where it happened and how to fix it."
"GitHub is good for collaboration because everyone can access it or we can restrict access to a few users. If I upload a file and share the URL, it's not restricted to a set number of users. Everyone with the link can download the files."
"Our code is secure."
"I have found GitHub stable."
"Even if I'm not in the office, I can access and work on my code from anywhere with my account credentials."
"The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes."
"The initial setup was easy."
"I have had a food experience with Atlassian SourceTree but it might not be for everyone."
"Its interface could be easy to understand for a programmer."
"The product's UI needs improvement."
"For everyday use, I am more comfortable using the command line interface, rather than using SourceTree."
"GitHub could add some more security features."
"The solution could have better support for the Markdown language."
"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."
"GitHub could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The merging features can be improved."
"Lacks sufficient support in terms of professional services that could be provided."
"There can be conflict issues when two developers work on the same file or line of code, and it would be great to see that improved, possibly with an AI solution."
"If you are uploading or cloning a large file, with more than 25 megs, it's pretty slow."
