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.

Good call routing capability, but the interface is non-intuitive, the integration is bad, and the mobile app needs improvement
Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent. We left Broadview for Intermedia because, at the end of the day, we are in the business of being a complete IT solution, which we can't do without offering a phone system. We are firm believers in practicing what you preach (or dogfooding if you prefer). As I stated previously, they dropped us as vendors because we couldn't sell many systems. The auto-attendant setup was horrid. It was extremely dated and doesn't have any modern features that you would expect for the price point. The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated. One reason we couldn't sell the product is that they nickel and dime you to death. For example, a line is one price. If you want a soft phone, that's extra. Mobile app? Extra. Auto-attendant? Yup... extra. We went with Intermedia because they have a far more modern system with seamless integration and simpler pricing. It is one price per user that includes everything Broadview charges extra for. Finally, after we switched, Broadview is trying to extort us for a year's fees stating we didn't terminate the contract in time. Importantly, we did, but it was "auto-renewed." Basically, if you want phone technology from the '90s and the practices to go along with it, Broadview is your ticket.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of GitHub include its ability to integrate with Jira and multiple CI/CD platforms like Techton, allowing for seamless project management."
"Using the solution feels like we are running a massive development team comprising a couple of other employees and me."
"We are using GitHub because it is open-source software, which is the most valuable solution for us."
"The solution provides good customization and support."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Applying GitHub Actions saves so much time for the team because it automates the developer's work to the server."
"It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"It is really simple to set up."
"We never had any reliability issues."
"We were able to route calls to mobile devices as well as hard phones."
 

Cons

"When I was new, I faced challenges with Git commands, such as reversing or deleting mistakes."
"The onboarding process could be simplified."
"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."
"I think it would be valuable to have more security. Some of the data is very open to everyone."
"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."
"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."
"The solution needs some more controls for deleting code and margin."
"We are not able to access GitHub from our VPN."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
"The mobile app, desktop app, and hardware was outdated and clumsily integrated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay a licensing fee for GitHub, which could be cheaper."
"GitHub is an open-source product, but when using the free-to-use version, anyone can see the code we're working on."
"If there are only 10 people using a particular repository, then GitHub is free. But if we increase the number of users, we need to pay the normal charge for GitHub."
"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 think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
"The licensing model from GitHub is very clear."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"We have an enterprise licensing agreement, and I am not part of the finance department so I can't say how much it costs."
"Their pricing and "automatic contracts" are abhorrent."
