"Great version control system for projects that don't involve too many developers"
What do you like best about Subversion?

Subversion is a bit confusing to learn at the beginning but it is simpler than Git. There are great integrations for it such as TortoiseSVN which can help with getting files committed and updated in a remote repository. It is great for simple projects where you want to track the history of your changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Subversion?

It is no longer supported by open-source platforms such as google code. Branching isn't as sophisticated as git's and there is no concept of the pull request in subversion which is widely used in the industry today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good platform 10 years ago. But dated and there are more progressive tools available."
What do you like best about Subversion?

This a great tool and is great for version control and I enjoyed it many years ago. However, there are more modern progressive solutions available today including Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Subversion?

The solution is out-dated. If you are searching for a version control tool, consider a solution centered around Git. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for performing QA as a team"
What do you like best about Subversion?

It is helpful being able to track changes along with summaries, that will be included in the historical log. We deal with a lot of policies, so being able to back up why a change was made, with a ticket tracking number, is helpful if/when our client asks for it.

Also being able to backtrack edits in an emergency, gives my team confidence when using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Subversion?

It can be quite finicky when accepting your changes and seeing that a document is now good, or with issues. You may need to exit and re-enter to ensure you see the green check mark, or the red mark indicating their was an issue. It can sometimes stay in yellow/pending after you accept your updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the Best Versioning Tool in Market"
What do you like best about Subversion?

1. This tool gives you power to work collaboratively. And this collaboration will happen with out impacting anyone's work.

2. It points out changes between existing code and uploaded code then and there.

3. Shows difference while merging code in trunk.

4. Find out old code by just providing the version number

Subversion is a free/open source version control system (VCS). That is, Subversion manages files and directories, and the changes made to them, over time. This allows you to recover older versions of your data or examine the history of how your data changed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Subversion?

Well it is Hard to say what you can dislike in this tool unless you use it.

But if your code is placed inside zip or if it is a meta data, then this tool can't give exact changes between old code and new code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SVN review"
What do you like best about Subversion?

I like the checkin and checkout that is specifically color coded. The color coding on your local machine itself is sufficient to tell that there are pending changes yet to be checked in or the version is in sync with the server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Subversion?

Sometimes, the version does not get updated with the latest one. It will make you delete the entire folder and get the latest version from sever again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cleanup the locked directory takes lot more time than it should take. We need to forcefully commit executable files/binary files using in the project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
