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.

Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle
When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Previously, security professionals had to spend a lot of time and effort running around, asking people to fix issues in their products, architectures, code, and even networks. With ShiftLeft, everything becomes robust and secure from within. Instead of relying on external measures like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) that are applied from the outside in, ShiftLeft takes a proactive approach. It helps prevent issues from arising in the first place, making it much easier for both security teams and developers. It's also cost-effective because you don't have to constantly go back, make changes to the code, and then push it again. Writing secure code from the start ensures that there are no vulnerabilities when it goes live. So, I would say the main features of ShiftLeft are its cost-effectiveness and ease of adaptability or use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important feature of GitHub is the maintainability of the versions of the code."
"It is really simple to set up."
"GitHub has positively impacted my work by helping us to work in parallel on features and ship and deploy them."
"The solution has been stable for us."
"During our use of GitHub, we have not encountered any problems and GitHub adds new features frequently."
"GitHub is good for small companies and for personal use."
"Using the solution feels like we are running a massive development team comprising a couple of other employees and me."
"This product is very good for storing and versioning code."
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
 

Cons

"The integration with Visual Studio Code could be more streamlined."
"The initial setup requires heavy documentation which can be challenging for new developers."
"I am not so tied to Copilot, as I have been using Amp more in recent months."
"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."
"There could be some improvements related to the automation of certain processes, especially with the integration of artificial intelligence."
"Technical support could be better. You quickly realize that most of the time, it is other users that are offering new support, not the actual GitHub team."
"The solution lacks sufficient support in terms of professional services that could be provided proactively to customers."
"Another problem is installation."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the free version of the tool."
"The tool offers a free program. As you go, you can upgrade from the community version to the professional one. I believe it costs about ten dollars per person, per month."
"My company purchased it. Before, we used to receive the free version, but then they purchased some of the features."
"There are no licensing fees for the features that we use."
"If I consider the market standards, the product's price is pocket-friendly."
"The basic licensing model is free, and if you need to have technical support and such things, then it does cost something. You only need to pay extra if you need technical support."
"We pay a subscription-based yearly licensing fee for the solution."
"I think, in terms of price, GitHub is okay compared to other tools."
