It's a relatively simple version control system so it works great for an individual or small team (less than 10 people). But if you have a medium to large team, especially one with members distributed over a large geographic area, or one where individuals need to be able to work "offline" without access to a central server, Apache Subversion will likely not be the best choice. Also, if you're maintaining an open-source project where outside people will be interacting with your code repository, git is probably a better choice because it's becoming the de-facto standard these days and what most developers are familiar with.

For business or personal applications, where you wish your code to remain private and/or proprietary, Beanstalk could be a good fit. If you are also interested in beginning to automate with relative ease, their tools can be a great help. Code reviews can also be a key factor in the decision, as they provide a good framework for accountability.Incentivized
Revision control done properly - you have end to end visibility of all changes in the project.Conflict resolution - visually highlighting the differences helps to track down the problem.Being open source and very popular.We are using SVN hosted in our network - it is very stable, we had almost zero downtime in 4 years.Rollbacks are made simple and easy to use.Incentivized

Distributed development - I've never worked in an environment where distributed development (developers widely scattered geographically) was a factor, but that's why git exists.Merging - Merging of code from one branch to another can be painful, especially if it's not done frequently. (On the other hand, doing merges is one of the reasons I get a nice salary, so I can't complain too much!)Acceptance - Let's face it, git is what "all the cool kids are using." If you've got a bunch of developers fresh out of school, they'll probably know git and not Subversion.Incentivized
Interface is not always intuitive, some areas are easier than others to navigate.Price plans are a little odd. However, they do seem to be flexible if a plan does not quite fit your needs.Incentivized
While there are interesting alternatives, such a GIT, Subversion has been a breath of fresh air compared to its predecessors like CVS or Microsoft Source Safe (now called Team Foundation Server). Its ease of use and high adoption rate is going to keep me using this product for years to come.
Git has become the new standard of version control, with its support for distributed design. As a tool to manage and control versions, Subversion does it well, but Git is the future.Incentivized
If you are creating open source applications, there is almost no reason not to use GitHub. If you do need private repositories (for proprietary or private, business or personal use), Bitbucket could be an excellent solution. Beanstalk's main advantages lie in the support (which is excellent), deployment tools, and code review features.Incentivized
Subversion helps us feel secure in maintaining access to all of our product code, both current and historical.Being free and open source makes it an even better "investment".Incentivized
Increased automation => better accuracy and efficiency of maintenance/launchesBetter insights into ongoing work and past modifications to code => lower chance of error and more efficient troubleshootingIncentivized
