Very helpful software with great features

The best thing about fossil was that it did not have any issues while connecting to our server. It used all of my resources like CPU usage and RAM so I would suggest you to purchase more diskspace for better performance. We were using this tool in order to manage source codes from different servers. I like how quickly it can be setup up for your team and what's included in the package! It is not cheap but very affordable as well. There are no downsides to this product at all. The interface is…

Pros
  • Very user friendly
  • Easy access with multiple users
  • Can organize files easily through folders etc.
  • Great features available when working remotely, allowing sharing documents via email/cloud service (such Google Drive)
Cons
  • Costly
  • Not reliable
  • Needs upgrades

Fossil is perfect tool especially: Fossil

I like that its very user friendly and easy to use without any prior knowledge of how databases are setup or what data structures you need for your database. So far it's been great! The only thing that i dislike about it so far has nothing to do with fossil itself but more because of my lack in using things such as git while setting up this site. But other than that everything else about it seems pretty good (even though at first there was some confusion between git,github and github). As long…

Pros
  • Easy integration into existing project
  • User friendly interface
  • Great documentation available online through help section located directly below search bar.
  • Open source community is always present here giving access o many features we want within fossils framework; also allowing us developers an opportunity learn from each others code bases too :)
Cons
  • No telephone contact numbers listed anywhere.
  • Not enough options given regarding security

Great alternative to GitHub for storing and organizing files

I like that it's so easy to use for my small team of about 10 people who are in different timezones (and even locations). It has great search capabilities which makes finding things much easier than when we used Gitlab or Github as well! The best thing, however? When you have multiple versions stored within your repository all users can access them from one place without having to go back into each individual version. We've been using this product since late November last year now but there…

Pros
  • I like that it is quite easy to use with Windows and its user friendly features help in my work
Cons
  • I would also like to have more user friendly options in it
