It's simple and keeps my workflow smooth. > > **Cons**: Unlike Git, it doesn't handle distributed workflows as smoothly. Also, its branching and merging features are not as advanced, making it more challenging for complex projects. ----- ### "Apache Subversion review" — 5.0/5 > **Ramya** | *20 October 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Subversion is great for version control. The color coding that it uses to distinguish between checked out files and files yet to be checked in are really helpful. If your folder is up to date the it gives green color. If you are editing some files then it shows a read mark besides it. > > **Cons**: Sometimes, inspite of getting the latest version, the files would not have updated. This would be confusing for the user. In that case you would have to delete the old folder and get a fresh copy from the server. > > We use SVN for version control. Everyday we have some any modifications to keep track of what files are checked out and needs to be checked back in as part of the software development process. SVN is really useful software for the same. ----- ### "Best software for versioning of files or documents" — 4.0/5 > **Jayesh** | *16 May 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to maintain the current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentations. > > **Cons**: according to my experience, there is no any features that i don't like about this software. > > Easy to use this software. I would like to highlight some of its features in short note as following. Create Repository, Checkout, Update, Perform Changes, Review Changes, Fix Mistakes, Resolve Conflicts,Commit Changes and many more. After all these about features i would like to say that there should be one feature in it and that is while we are working on any file and meanwhile if any other is trying to edit that file then it should alert that someone else is working in this file. It will be help the both person that who is working on this file so they can work in that way which will reduce the conflicts of files. ----- ### "Subversion: Code storage another way." — 5.0/5 > **Simon** | *31 October 2023* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use and having the master (centralised) copy on site. Subversion maintains a master copy - the main source - and copies are made from that. Also having the ability to properly store binary, rather than textual files, is a bonus when wanting to version images or PDFs. Like GIT, but not Visual Source Safe (when we migrated), SVN gives the ability for many people to edit and change files and to merge the changes. > > **Cons**: It is more difficult, if using an 'internal' server, to access remotely. You have to ensure that SSH tunnels etc are in place to grant remote access. > > Having come from Visual Source Safe in the early 2000s, Subversion was great in that it enabled more than one person to access and edit a file. Committing and merging those files is pretty straightforward and the flexibility it offers it good. In addition, if there are secure areas of a project that only a few should see, the granular access features enable that to happen. ----- ### "Version control" — 5.0/5 > **Bogdan** | *17 October 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Personally I consider SVN to be the perfect balance between functionality and control. When working in a mixed team environment repository security and locking are paramount and SVN makes everything simple. Post commit hooks are also very useful and easy to implement. > > **Cons**: I like the git ability to perform local commits and I'd love to have it in SVN but it I find the benefits of a centralised repository much more important. > > I've been using SVN ever since I've migrated from Microsoft VSS and I still find it as powerful as ever and still relevant in 2022. We now use much better visual tools and online hosting services integrated with testing and CI/CD tools but the core SVN experience is still as good as it was ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/177270/apache-subversion?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/177270/apache-subversion) ## 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 | | ----- ## Structured Data
