Gives us plenty of versioning freedom.

What are the best aspects of this product?

I love Subversion because it gives us plenty of room to manipulate our data and graphic interface. My favorite is the TortoiseSVN which I use to create branches, commit, track edits, and revert edits to particular versions. It's also very simple to retrace our steps and view the versioning history of our files. I consider myself as a longtime user to this tool, and I can imagine myself using this down the road some more. I also think it's great that Subversion is constantly introducing updates to its system.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

This is not exactly the easiest tool to work with. For one, merging files can result in some errors and even a few ommissions to our files. One has to be diligent in checking that all the codes have been properly merged and translated seamlessly into each other. Otherwise, Subversion will not recognize your versions and you'll lose your progress. So far, the only solution I've had to this issue is to manually check the codes and filters myself. Duplicates of files can happen quite often too so you'd need to go back and manually delete the dupe yourself.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We use this to manage our code database and to make sure that we keep a copy of all of our files' versions. It's also made source code verification a lot easier. This is thanks to the source tree where we can track all the different branches of our files. The search and filtering system has been really helpful in tracing back files from particular timelines and specific issues.
