Every commit in Assembla is traceable to the ticket, task, or bug that sparked it. Engineers, reviewers, and project managers share the same context from planning to release, so nobody wastes time guessing why code exists or chasing down decisions made three sprints ago.
We built SVN source code management and Git and Perforce workflows around the same principle: every change should be explainable, every decision should be visible, and every team member should have the context they need without switching tools.
Review workflows built directly into version control keep code quality high and team collaboration fast, removing bottlenecks and mistakes before they reach production. Assembla gives teams the best version control software experience for code review, with everything in one place and no external tools required.
Teams collaborate faster and reviewers never lose context, because the conversation about the code lives next to the code itself.
Most source code management software separates issue tracking from the repositories where work actually happens. Assembla keeps them together. Manage tickets alongside code and version control so work stays aligned, releases ship on schedule, and your team spends less time syncing tools and more time shipping.
As teams grow, governance becomes as important as velocity. Assembla gives engineering leaders granular control over who can access, modify, review, and deploy code across their version control environment, with the audit trails and compliance controls that regulated industries require. Our security and compliance framework supports SOC 2, SSO, 2FA, and detailed audit logs for every access and change.
Built for regulated and high-demand environments, Assembla gives engineering leaders the visibility and control they need to scale securely, without slowing down the teams doing the work.
Version control tracks the history of code changes over time, allowing teams to work in parallel, review changes before merging, and roll back when needed. Source code management builds on that foundation by adding workflows such as permissions, code reviews, traceability, and issue tracking. It is the difference between tracking changes and managing how teams collaborate on them. Assembla combines both in one platform, giving teams a complete source code management software solution without stitching together separate tools.
Assembla supports Git, Apache Subversion (SVN), and Perforce Helix Core. Teams can run different version control systems across projects on a single platform, with consistent workflows, permissions, and visibility. It is the only managed platform that natively supports all three without custom integrations or additional infrastructure.
For teams running SVN and Git simultaneously, the best version control software is one that treats both as first-class citizens rather than treating one as a legacy system to be migrated away from. Assembla is built specifically for this use case, giving teams unified visibility, consistent permissions, and the same review and traceability workflows across both SVN and Git repositories.
Yes. Assembla is a fully managed source code management platform. We handle infrastructure, backups, uptime, and security so your team can focus on shipping software. There is no server provisioning, no maintenance windows to manage, and no DevOps overhead. Teams get enterprise-grade source code hosting with SOC 2 compliance, SSO support, and automated backups included.
GitHub is an excellent platform for Git-based workflows. Assembla is built for teams that need more than Git, specifically those running SVN or Perforce alongside Git, or teams that need native project management integrated with their repositories. For teams evaluating alternatives to GitHub for hosting code repositories, Assembla offers SVN and Perforce support, integrated issue tracking, and a fully managed infrastructure that GitHub does not provide natively.
