Find out in this report how the two Software Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to give our teams functionality from a control perspective, allowing them to decide how they want to implement the tool, is valuable."
"Using this solution, we were able to implement a full process for all of our lifecycles."
"The developers can very easily see what has changed on a particular piece of source code or a program, and others can look at that as well so they can coordinate their changes. It makes it much easier to promote a piece of code up to production."
"It provides secure, controlled access to source management."
"We can make it do pretty much whatever we want, depending on just how complicated we want it to be, as it is pretty flexible."
"They've got plug-ins now to run it through Eclipse, they've got a lot of APIs, they handle UNIX files. I can't really think of any serious lack that they haven't addressed."
"In the last year or so, we had a need to start using a CICS web services, and mesh them in with some distributed functions on an enterprise service bus. We put the web services into Endevor and we manage that way now."
"The source management is excellent."
"Stability has been really good. I have actually never had to open an issue or report an issue since I have been running it."
"The most valuable feature of Endevor is customization and ease of use."
"Password complexity is not enforced by the tool."
"Security features can be improved."
"Technical support for this solution is very good, although they can still use improvement in some regards."
"It is difficult to find file programs and use a different tool for the setup as the compilation process is all locked up."
"The main challenges are its limited interface and the complexity of the customization."
"Learning the tool for the first time was extremely difficult, and it could be because of all the other processes we had around it. But knowing you can do these things in batch, you can do things in the foreground or online mode, and then these, you have to have a package for. There are these rules, and some of the concepts inside the tool are not clear, like what is the CCID? Why do I have to have one? What is that? And how is it used? As a developer, it's not important to me - I don't know what a CCID is, and I don't care - but apparently it's important to someone."
"The initial setup can be less complex and has room for improvement."
"Interfacing with some change control products that are not CA's, it's a little glitchy on the approvals of changes. It requires special needs for the users for approvals."
"I would like to have better integration with other products."
"The customer service and support team are not helpful."
"The solution is very expensive."
