It's limited to a cap, which I think is a little stingy considering that I am a paying customer. I would have expected the same caps as public github repos. > > Overall, the experience is great. It's a very convenience way to store my git repos online, and I can trust that the data will be there to stay since it is owned by Microsoft. I've have my github for almost 10 years. Some years I am more active than others, but I can always count on the experience being consistent and reliable. ----- ### "A great tool for developers" — 5.0/5 > **Ildaphonse** | *January 8, 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use github daily in the workplace. It is very easy to use. I can easily store my information without worry. It is free to use as well. I've encountered no issues or bugs when using it. > > **Cons**: I wish it was easier to learn how to use. Sometimes i forget which commands to use when pushing my code to the cloud. > > I've enjoyed my experience with Github. I use it daily when coding because of how quick and easy it is to store data. ----- ### "My review of GitHub" — 5.0/5 > **Vinny** | *November 26, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that GitHub is a very intuitive version control tool to use. There is a huge community that uses GitHub and if I ever run into problems, it is very easy to find a solution on Stack Overflow. > > **Cons**: There is a lot of downtime with GitHub. I am unsure what the service level agreement is with GitHub but in my career as a software developer, it has gone down at least 10 times. > > Overall, GitHub is easy to use. There are many features that make developing software in a team environment easy. Also, it is quick to setup and migrate from other version control tools. ----- ### "Github: A Convenient, Agile, Useful Developer Community" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *August 28, 2025* | Computer Hardware | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy integration with different services (Github Copilot, VSCode, CI Automation) Generally very high service availability and have encountered no major bug or issues during my entire 10 year on Github Don't see much outage compared to self hosted solutions Easy to setup and do not need as much service as a self hosted solution. > > **Cons**: Github support is very unresponsive and when there is an outage or issue with the enterprise account it is difficult to find someone to call. Have to pay additional price for Single Sign On service (SSO Tax) > > I've been on Github for 10 years and it has always been my go to when developing professional software. I loved the integration between Github and other software vendors, the fact that leisure use is mostly free, and that there is a strong developer community on GitHub. ----- ### "The industry standard for version control" — 5.0/5 > **Filippo** | *January 13, 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The extensive collaboration tools and version control are critical features used in our bug troubleshooting workflows. > > **Cons**: The interface is quite busy and as a beginner it's difficult to quickly identify how to achieve a certain goal. Navigating the platform is not immediate and the learning curve seems to be quite steep for me. > > My experience is overwhelmingly positive, especially in terms of features geared towards team collaboration and bug/incident tracking. ----- Page: 1 / 248\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/129067/github?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/129067/github) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
