Nice post on the SaaS offerings! That, however, is not an option for enterprises where source code is that critical, it should "never leave the perimeter".
Those firms need a behind-the-firewall kind of security, under a common software platform, preferably open source (like rhodecode.com).
In other words, it is a must to have source code management that is developer-focused (with code reviews, pull requests and automation), yet provides unified security across the code base, with access controls and common authentication.
Thanks for your comment. I fully agree that there are many companies who want to host the development tools behind-the-firwall, and luckily Deveo can be hosted on-premises as well as used from the multi-tenant cloud instance. Actually, our biggest customers use solely the on-premises version, which scales to thousands of users using clustering and load balancing. The article tackles the things from the SaaS point of view because more and more companies are moving to the cloud. I need to clarify that Deveo can be used also behind the firewall in the future more.
All of the "developer focused" features you mentioned are present in Deveo. Rhodecode, on the other hand, lacks two fundamental features to support the daily workflow of developers: Issue tracking and Wikis. These two functionalities are present in Deveo, GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket.
If you wish to compare the differences between Deveo and Rhodecode, head on to https://deveo.com/trial and see the differences yourself. I would love to hear what you think after you have actually tested it.
