Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"They provide answers and solutions."
"Endevor is easy to use."
"It makes production changes much easier to implement, and to recover if there are problems."
"The flexibility, because I know a lot of the competition pigeonholes you into definitions and character limitations, and Endevor is wide open."
"We backup people's source code for them."
"Our organization now has standardized change management processes for implementation into production."
"It can be very flexible, as far as how you use it. You can make it do nearly anything, but in really clever ways. It is very versatile."
"Being able to compare versions is helpful."
"It’s not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"All of the features work together to provide a powerful holistic solution - from the dashboard all the way through to security."
"The tool provides traceability and reporting, which are important for compliance and measuring progress."
"The pricing is supposed to be competitive."
"RTC allows us to customize different processes to fit the best projects requirements."
"E2E tool for SCM, features like customization of CR and IR flow is valuable."
"Rational Team Concert is the part of CLM solution and can be easily integrated with the requirement module, Rational DOORS, and the quality module, Rational Quality Manager, which allows organizations to automate the whole SDLC under the same umbrella with seamless integration."
"Agile templates give us a standard methodology for every Agile project. Also, the ability to create our own object types and linkages to features/epics allows us to enhance the verification of feature readiness."
 

Cons

"As a release tool, there probably could have been some additional enhancements, but it was effective."
"It's complex because it depends upon your development architecture. Also, it's reached the limits of automation and freedom given to end users."
"The initial setup can be less complex and has room for improvement."
"It's not a perfect solution."
"While CA is able to react to our requests for new features, I think the downside is they don’t use as much long, or medium term strategy anymore."
"Currently the only solution is to continue creating environments for use with agile development which is a maintenance nightmare, or ask the application teams to redesign their software so it is contained within their own applications."
"The solution is very expensive."
"It is still kind of behind the times. It needs to catch up with all the millennials that want a distributed look and feel.​"
"There is a lot of scope for improvement, namely: Loading of content as it is extremely slow. Customizing attributes like story points since it is not available."
"I would rate the IBM Engineering Workflow Management a seven or an eight. I am leaning closer to seven based on a couple of items I mentioned that I would like to see or know more about, such as improved reporting."
"IBM Engineering Workflow Management can be improved by enhancing its pricing structure, specifically the cost and licensing of this solution."
"Some administrative tasks are difficult to perform. These could be simplified."
"Complex client application and web interface that try to do it all."
"If you have multiple projects on one server, the tool becomes very slow, and some reports take longer to load."
"RTC ignores in this case, that there are other tasks in other parallel iterations. This may cause a user to be overbooked."
"Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"It's worth the value. The pricing is fairly good, justifiable for the return on investment."
"Just make sure if you are going to license, ensure you license the right features.​"
"The solution is very expensive."
"It's competitively priced and, as far as I know, it's just an enterprise license. We have found it is worth the money."
"Licensing is fairly simple, you don't need multiple licenses."
"Licensing: The solution cost is high and should be brought down to increase competition."
"I've heard IBM Engineering Workflow Management is more expensive than other tools."
"It's an expensive investment to make, so the decision should be driven on individual requirements."
"It is not a free tool. We use a token-based licensing model, which is specific to IBM. The cost per token is around $115-$120."
