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.

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.
