### "One of the easier to use"

April 9, 2024

5.0

Overall my experience has been good. I’ve used CVS for many years now and hardly ever have a complaint.

Pros

I like the ease of using the site and program. Lately, too many sites make it difficult to navigate, where this is easier with no confusion.

Cons

I sometimes have issues loading the site. It tends to restart or freeze.

### "Old system, but sure still works"

June 30, 2022

5.0

We had a local server which was mirrored to another backup local server. We wore 5 developers whom time per time overwrite code of one another for it has a bad history interface.

Pros

It was probably the first of its kind I used therefore I was marveled about it. I simply loved to see a better code backup process.

Cons

It has no modern branch concept and whenever you need to send a code proposal you need to use code patches and write a report on how to properly apply the patch.

Alternatives considered

[Apache Subversion](https://www.capterra.com/p/177270/Apache-Subversion/)

Reason for choosing CVS

Subversion has a smaller user group at our region, fewer people wore using it by that time around my workplace.

### "Cvs user turned SVN user turned GIT user"

September 15, 2022

2.0

Used CVS as a precursor to SVN to manage commits across multiple projects

Pros

It was simple to use back in the day. Now that things are a lot more complex SVN and GIT make more sense. My organization has fully switched over and is now a GIT house.

Cons

It ran its course. Merging was a problem which has fully been solved with GIT as a version control solution

### "Old but still alive"

October 12, 2022

4.0

Pros

Sometimes centralization has advantages and then cvs can be an alternative to git.

Cons

To work requires a connection to the server, you can't do a commit without a server.

### "Easy to see coupons and deals at cvs"

July 18, 2022

4.0

I've been shopping there for years and always save alot using their coupons and rewards

Pros

It's easy to view my rewards. I got sick of misplacing or scrolling through really long cvs paper receipts for coupons

Cons

I don't mind the software but I guess if you have to change information I think like a phone number it's a bit of a hassle

### "Obsoleted by Git"

September 20, 2021

3.0

It's still used by some projects, such as OpenBSD.

Pros

It was an improvement on RCS, taking revision control online.

Cons

As it was released in 1990, a successor, Git, took its place in the modern world.
