Asset dashboards have created slow, rigid workflows and have limited effective life cycle tracking
The single dashboards do not help my team or the company as a whole. I feel the dashboards are not helpful because the search features are not customizable. The software is web-based and the server is extremely slow. To improve Endevor, its cloud or web-based server capabilities should be increased so that the software is faster. The ability to customize reports should be increased.

Have faced challenges in getting timely responses but have managed to streamline workflows and reduce infrastructure costs
My current company was not using any products apart from AMQ. I suggested it to them, which is why they started using it. I also suggested it to the customer. The feedback for Red Hat AMQ has been good. Based on this, we suggest it to our customers, and they are happy using that product. Our big customer, FedEx, which is one of the best and biggest giants in logistics and courier, started using it and they are happy with that. The base operating system, RHEL 8 and 9, is being used across the infrastructure. The server and critical applications and data are running on Red Hat 8 and 9. We are performing proper maintenance of the OS and it is working fantastically. We have not received any issues or complaints. Our domains include Human Gateway, pharmaceuticals, and automobile clients. The critical application is running on Microsoft Azure DevOps Server. When developers send code to us, we create the CI/CD pipeline and schedule jobs. The solution provides time savings and infrastructure savings. Multiple virtual machines are not required when installing applications in containerization, which saves infrastructure costs. We receive notifications about CPU, memory, and disk space utilization from time to time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is the Cadillac of that tool; there is no other tool that matches it on the market today, it is the best, and it is very stable."
"We have used it for years and never had any real issues with it."
"We have been able to replicate entire SDLCs for new clients and have them loaded and ready to use Endevor in as little as one week. This was possible with the use of Endevor variables within the processors, so that a single processor was able to function for multiple systems across the entire SDLC."
"Stability is very solid."
"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."
"It maintains a 99.999% uptime."
"The flexibility, because I know a lot of the competition pigeonholes you into definitions and character limitations, and Endevor is wide open."
"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."
"What I like about this solution is that you have Source control that enables you to organize and track the production so that you know where you are in the development phase and so on."
"At my previous employer, I had 100 or more programmers and the product handled everything like a charm, no problem."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Every month there is an increase in the number of users. It is a scalable solution."
"What I like most is that it is a very comprehensive product."
"In summary, this is a good product that is straightforward, easy to use, and manages well."
"What I like about this solution is that it is one big framework, which everybody knows, so one can quite easily start-up new developers using it."
"The product helps with version control. I can build, develop, test and deploy applications from a single platform."
"The most valuable feature is the code management, where there is sharing of code for developers and it is distributed within the organization."
 

Cons

"It is stable. We do not have any issues with it. It is just complex because it is a tool set. It is not a plug and play kind of product at all."
"I would like to have better integration with other products."
"There are a lot of screens in it. The process for moving out my other solutions, it could be more convenient. There are a lot of steps to go through and a lot of screens to go through to get it accomplished."
"I think the main focus should be the continuous delivery aspects."
"It's complex because it depends upon your development architecture. Also, it's reached the limits of automation and freedom given to end users."
"There should be better integration between CA Endevor Software Change Manager and Zowe."
"I find the ISPF interface to be lacking. It seems like you have to navigate to a lot of different screens to work with the same element."
"The scalability of Endevor could improve."
"The UI itself is not always intuitive, often requiring extra steps."
"Accessibility switches available on the desktop should also be available on mobile devices for coding or developing on the go."
"It crashed many times, because in engineering there are a lot of phases."
"I cannot comment on how I rate Microsoft Azure DevOps Server solution; I'm working in a small part of it and don't have enough experience."
"The product should be priced better."
"My experience with Azure Boards is not helpful for planning or tracking. In comparison to the boards on GitHub and GitLab, they are quite minimal."
"The technical support could be better."
"The user experience for the task assignment functionality, and more generally the software lifecycle development, needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is fairly simple, you don't need multiple licenses."
"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."
"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 product is expensive."
"The price could be better."
"You can choose pricing from a variety of options. I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"There is no fee for the solution's community version."
"It is an open-source product from Microsoft."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
