Looking at Projectlocker, Cloudforge, and Assembla Portfolio for Git Hosting - Any opinions?

Question

We're a small webdesign shop here and we want to get all our clients on a DVCS system that deploys our commits via sftp.

I've narrowed it down to Projectlocker, CloudForge and Assembla Portfolio.

There's also Beanstalk and Springloops but they'd end up being 2-4x the price of the other options for us. (300 projects is a lot to these hosts even though we're only 10-15gb)

Does anybody have any experience with Projectlocker, Cloudforge and/or Assembla Portfolio?

Is there a better solution that I'm missing out on? Thanks.

Answer 1

Assembla is a good option - the portfolio project is about to get a whole lot better with being able to create a space as a subset of another space. As well as sharing ticket lists and repositories.

In general - the Assembla Portfolio project will work well for 300 projects, particularly if they share any elements, such as team.

You are able to deploy via sftp from git and a new product will let you run any script after a deploy on your servers. Assembla is also starting to integrate with jenkins for unit testing.

Answer 2

I've had many years of success with projectlocker. I've used the free version for small projects. It works great. You can always upgrade if the project grows.

Answer 3

I think that CollabNet CloudForge is the best option. It offer you unlimited users, unlimited projects, but limited Size to 2 GB with its Free Version. That is absolutely the best free option offered by the day I am writing these lines.

even when going for payed version, it will be 2$ per user per Month which is also the Best.

We will have also the scrum power of TeamForge, tickets, tracking ...
