Things have moved and changed a lot when people were using SourceForge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. We have started using GitHub for our version control and its a lot better than SourceForge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This gives you great control over the code base as it evolves through out the development cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is falling behind the competitor like github where code management is much more easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SourceForge is dedicated to hosting open source software and the supporting the community that supports that software. It is an admirable goal. SourceForge was important to the open source movement for a long time, and hosted thousands of repositories for open source software.

SourceForge holds nostalgic value for those users who hosted software on the site, found useful software, and read documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The open source community has moved on. It is very rare for a new project to find itself on SourceForge with better modern alternatives like GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab getting far more traffic.

Everything about SourceForge feels dated now. The user interface hasn't had any significant improvement in many years, and it shows. A significant portion of the projects hosted there are out of date, or no longer supported. There are installers for software with malware included.

SourceForge was a great resource once, but we have all moved on to greener pastures at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SourceForge was bought by a new company in the beginning of this year and has improved greatly ever since. Https support has been added and all bundled software have been removed. Malware can also be scanned and even better is the 2 factor authentication for your account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installing games can be cumbersome. When we downloaded a free Sudoku game, it took forever. Then when we uninstalled it and later found out that the hard drive was working really hard; which means the Sudoku downloader was still running. Still not clear what was going on there.

It is a classic open-source repository. One of the first of the kind and still hosts many projects. It has webpage hosting, source code versioning repository, issue management, file and release management, discussion list management. The service has a great number of mirrors to host the projects files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately it has been around for too many time without a revamp. Nowadays it feels outdated and needs too much effort, due to old UI and outdated working processes that are enforced on the projects. I have never used the private/corporate version, but it seems to be pretty similar to the open-source/public service that I used. Most of the projects I know migrated to GitHub and Bitbucket. On the last years, SourceForge started offering adware supported installers and suspicious software to be installed together with the files some of the projects were releasing. It seems that it is not prevalent anymore but demonstrates that the service is struggling to maintain its users and projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sourceforge is the classic, baseline, open source code hosting solution. It has many features for projects, but no part of it stands out anymore. It is capable at what it does, but it's nothing special. It has been around for a long time, so i dont see it going anywhere for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI feels dated, and it doesnt particularly succeed at any one feature, instead choosing to do everything solidly. You wont love it, and you wont hate it. The UI feels kind of outdated. For a while, it was an adware infested pit, but the new owners have turned that around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Know that I can find all the software for which I am looking. The site is always safe and secure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't happen often but I have had slow downloads for large files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
