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

"Any question that an auditor has about our processes and approvals is all stored in Endevor."
"We cut implementation errors by around 99%."
"When we brought Endevor in, almost 18-20 years ago, the auditing issues went down dramatically, once we had everyone into Endevor, using it, and we had everything turned on."
"Obviously we love the product; it does everything we want it to do."
"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."
"It offers security and audit of changes in information assets (software)."
"What I like about Endevor personally is it can be very flexible, as far as how you use it, and you can make it do nearly anything, but in really clever ways."
"My understanding is that Endever is one of the better software exchange management systems out there."
"What I like most is that it is a very comprehensive product."
"Visual Studio Team System is the most powerful IDE available in the market."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps Server is a go-to product because it has everything in one place for project management, delivery, code, and similar functionalities."
"I find Microsoft Azure DevOps Server to be proper and user-friendly, making it easy to manage."
"At my previous employer, I had 100 or more programmers and the product handled everything like a charm, no problem."
"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."
"IntelliSense and CodeLens are helpful because they can show you details about your function, such as how many times it is called from other places within the code."
"Microsoft makes great products. They are quite robust."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The main challenges are its limited interface and the complexity of the customization."
"The Eclipse based UI still needs improvement and CA is working on that in v18."
"Endevor has not impacted my organization positively, if at all."
"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."
"Sometimes finding errors and output can be difficult because it spits out so many messages that it is hard to figure out which ones are the ones you need to look at and what flow did it actually take through the processor is what they call them."
"This software is made to keep the components' and change history. There is no concept of application and version management of these applications."
"Technical support is a bit lagging so could be improved."
"The product should be priced better."
"The UI itself is not always intuitive, often requiring extra steps."
"Support response time could stand improvement."
"The disadvantage is the price is a problem. Because of the price, we cannot buy as many accounts as we want, so just some people in our team can use it."
"On a scale from zero to ten points, I would give Microsoft's technical support eight points. I give eight points and not ten because there is sometimes a delay, and I will not get a reply immediately."
"The user experience for the task assignment functionality, and more generally the software lifecycle development, needs to be improved."
"It crashed many times, because in engineering there are a lot of phases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is fairly simple, you don't need multiple licenses."
"The solution is very expensive."
"It's worth the value. The pricing is fairly good, justifiable for the return on investment."
"It's competitively priced and, as far as I know, it's just an enterprise license. We have found it is worth the money."
"The product is expensive."
"Just make sure if you are going to license, ensure you license the right features.​"
"You can choose pricing from a variety of options. I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"The price could be better."
"There is no fee for the solution's community version."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is an open-source product from Microsoft."
