We performed a comparison between Git and IBM Rational ClearCase based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Version Control solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a pretty standard product with features like git clone and development branches."
"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"We use the tool to store codes."
"The product protects our data."
"What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
"I use the solution for website management."
"Git's learning curve is shallow, making the solution easy to use after a few tutorials."
"Git is easy to manage...It is helpful for me and easy to manage the interface we are using from development to production."
"ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment."
"The tool had features similar to Git for version control. It offered branching and merging capabilities, providing better control over code management. Integration was possible with other tools, including some change management tools. The overall process was normal."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"It would be preferable if the updates could be completed at a faster pace."
"We would like to see tutorials added to the product, for new users to follow so that they can optimize their use of the solution."
"The price could be improved."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"Synchronization could be better. Sometimes when you create a branch and merge it into another branch, I think it's a bit complex for no reason. The initial setup is also tricky when you do it for the first time."
"If the file changes are on the same line, we need to resolve a merge conflict manually. Let's say there is a merge conflict on line 50 because we have multiple commits on the same line number. Git could add some artificial intelligence to resolve the conflict automatically."
"In a future release, the user interface should be easier to use and more intuitive."
"I have found it very difficult to understand many functionalities in IBM Rational ClearCase. We have had many problems and it is not user-friendly."
"The solution's UI is slow compared to other tools. It is an old tool."
"The protection needs to be improved."
