Looks great, but the price is exorbitantly high for a large number of users :(

#12I don't get it, is the value of hosting projects on your own servers worth the substantial leap in cost over GitHub.com?
A previous employer was dead-set against using Github's public site and insisted on using Github Enterprise. They were simultaneously resource-stingy and thus we had to bend around in all sorts of uncomfortable ways to minimize the amount of employees we had with Github Enterprise logins to keep costs to the bare minimum. Needless to say, this was a messy and stupid situation.
Perhaps there are some companies for which Github Enterprise makes sense, but it seems like the number of potential matches for it being a really good fit is small. Most companies should just use Github.com or if they really need to keep the code out of "the cloud", just use plain old git with gitlab, gitorious or plain old ssh access control.

GH pricing is on-par with other enterprise VCS offerings.
Kind of disappointing really, having "cheaper than XYZ" is a nice feature to sell to management.

#14Disclaimer this is a shameless but timely plug for my company's product. I've been building a solution to enterprise GitHub's pull request model for the last year. I believe they have a great product but their current pull request system will never meet a large organizations requirements which are process heavy. For example it's not easy to assign something like a risk value to a pull request. You also can't assign a…
Is this your own plugin, or your own service?

If you're competing on "awesome", being cheaper isn't an advantage, and also damages the brand.

Keeping their code within their own firewall is a big deal for many companies.
We've considered it for the research department I'm part of at a university. The nice part is that we all know and like github, but need to keep the repos private or on premise, depending on the grant. Further, a lot of research code is based on another project's code, and a git fork is so much nicer than mailing around tarballs, particularly after having had the task of taking a project, and trying to incorporate se…
The campus site license at $2500/year license seems cheap relative to the normal price

It's my own product/service. I have my own diff, commit and source viewer. With my setup, the only time that you would use GitHub is to make comments.
Here are some additional screen shots of the other tools.

Re: GitHub Enterprise
#19Interesting observation - the pricing stays constant at $21/user/month till 2999 users. It changes to 'Contact Us' zone after this. On the other hand, Atlassian's enterprise offering, Stash, has a different pricing structure with only a one-time payment. Infact, for 2000 users, the upfront costs are 48K versus Github's 2000 user pricing at 500k per year. I wonder about this large discrepancy in pricing structures bet…
A company that has 2,999 developers is spending about $450 million per year to keep them employed, now it costs them $450.5 million. As you can see their pricing is a rounding error.
If you pick up the phone and mention Atlassian I'm sure the price will drop to something comparable.

That 0.5 is not a rounding error.
