Pros

"DbMaestro provides us the ability to take control of our database environments and to establish methodologies with a solution that covers the database development end-to-end, from development through testing and deploying to the production environment."
"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."
"Therefore when we started using ClearCase, it was like a miracle."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution, and I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"The features allowed us to meet requirements for SOX and set a centralized guideline for our development teams."
"What I like most is that it is very stable."
"I really appreciate the MultiSite feature; it is important to us due to the global nature of our company, as my team supports developers using ClearCase in at least ten locations worldwide."

"This is an expensive product and the price could be reduced."
