Git is a Very Popular 10-Year-Old
— 2015 Stack Overflow Developer Survey
69.3% of developers use Git

But It Poses Challenges to the Enterprise
Maximum practical repository size Leading to Git sprawl (lots of repos) Too complex for some contributors Raises security concerns Weak visibility across the entire pipeline DevOps challenges for continuous delivery Destructible history can be a problem
4
Inefficient Product Delivery
Poor visibility between teams introduce friction and design errors
Poor component reuse results in higher production cost
More delays, less efficient product delivery
Less secure
Increased risk of quality issues

Recent Gartner market guide
““
Enterprise-grade management of Git that offers important aspects of a DVCS — good merging, the ability to work offline and good collaboration — along with the security and central repository of a CVCS, will resolve most remaining concerns about the use of the DVCS model.
— Gartner, Inc. Market Guide for Software Change and Configuration Management
