Vendr community insights for GitHub

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"We were able to leverage a quick signature before the end of the quarter to achieve a 20% discount on our upgrade to GitHub Enterprise "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"Github only provides SOC2 compliance documents if you are using their enterprise tier. We were able to argue that the price increase was too high, because we were only upgrading to Enterprise licenses to get the SOC 2 compliance documents."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"GitHub deal desk will not give extra discounting mid-term or on the next renewal unless you can commit to growth upfront. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We had a 20% discount last year because we signed up with GitHub for the first time. We grew midterm and are going to grow this year and they clawed back our discounting to 5%. We decided that we needed to bake in growth in order to obtain high discounting for our next term. We had to spend more upfront to save down the road because GitHub does not reward growth midterm. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We ended up descoping 170 licenses because GitHub wouldn't come down on pricing. They weren't giving us a discount for 650 licenses which was not favorable to our finance team. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"There has been some movement with GitHub accounts managers. You may need to follow up multiple times to get to the correct contact for your account. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We had a large issue from last year with our pre-metered billing. We committed to 3x more than what our company actually consumed in GitHub Actions so this renewal, GitHub was willing to make it right. We were able to descope significantly and get better discounting on Enterprise and Advanced Security licenses (11% more than last year). "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"GitHub is making an effort to get all accounts back to list price. Per their executive team's directives, account growth is the best incentive to retain existing discounts."

"We use GitHub due to its widespread adoption, integrations, and ease of use, especially for the CI/CD workflows."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We grew with GitHub midterm due to some testing we had to do on a temporary basis and were very clear with our rep that this was happening. Come renewal, they told us that they had to pull discounting due to decreases in scope. We pushed back heavily on this and got our discounting reinstated by citing they were aware it was a temporary increase in scope. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We descoped more than half of our licenses and got 7% of our discount eliminated. We pushed several times using budget constraints and volume based discounting in order to meet in the middle at a 19.5% discount. This took weeks and our rep didn't seem eager to close it by end of quarter so that took away that lever for our team. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We had a 25% discount on our Enterprise and GHAS licenses and on our renewal, GitHub pulled all of that back. We had to add a few licenses in order to get a 10% discount because our finance team was most concerned about this years contract value. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We were offered a list price on our renewal for over 200 users. However, using Vendr, we were able to push back on the pricing with a 5% discount on 12 months."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We added on Advanced Security licenses midterm and were told we would be able to negotiate the price on our renewal. When the time came, GitHub did not budge. We are paying for support, co-pilot, enterprise and advanced security licenses that tripled our pricing over the past year. We only got a 5% discount on advanced security so we decided not to prepay for any of our metered products and pull that from the contract. We will pay that monthly in arrears as we use the product. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We were past due on our contract and didn't get to do any negotiating. Our pricing stayed the same as last year. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Github told us that they do not negotiate pricing for Copilot since it has very small margins is a consumption based product. You pay for what you use with the ability to fluctuate license count on a monthly basis. They have released a new Enterprise Copilot option with more features and they may in the future have additional discounting available for this sku."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"The supplier advised that they only sell seats in a bundle of 10. Pricing stayed flat on renewal with no uplift, despite a descope."
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"GitHub was not open to negotiating price as we descoped licenses. Last year, we were forced into keeping ghost licenses due to an upgrade we had to do right before our renewal. Because of this, we were stuck with 10 additional seats that we didn't utilize for 9 months of the year. GitHub wasn't flexible with helping us out on this renewal. We are stuck with them, because they have a great product, but they are hard to negotiate with. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We were wanting to add 5 Co-Pilot Business seats to our renewal, but were only allowed to sign up month-to-month. They do not allow pre-purchasing or discounting until you are at 110 users. We are paying monthly in arrears. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
