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

"Stability is very solid."
"Overall, I think that Endeavor is a good product and I recommend it."
"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."
"It standardizes the processing of all the development. Everything gets produced in a constant and consistent manner."
"The most valuable features are stability and ease of use."
"The flexibility, because I know a lot of the competition pigeonholes you into definitions and character limitations, and Endevor is wide open."
"Adaptable to respond to all customer needs: It is configuration management software."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Microsoft makes great products. They are quite robust."
"When we started using this tool, it was a great way to have full access to all that was being developed between different areas."
"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 valuable features are managing campaign boards, sprint planning with product backlog, sprint backlog, and velocity and capacity of the development team, and also the bar and chart graphics, which assist in tracking the day-to-day project status."
"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."
"In summary, this is a good product that is straightforward, easy to use, and manages well."
"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."
 

Cons

"The customer service and support team are not helpful and they're slow to respond."
"The Eclipse based UI still needs improvement and CA is working on that in v18."
"The internal setup is complex and rigid."
"The graphical user interface. It would be a big tool to change (but needed), just because as the workforce kind of ages and retires, the younger generation is not as familiar with mainframe and looking at a green screen is not really a huge selling point to them."
"I like the stability and CA’s responsiveness, but I haven’t used anything else, so it’s hard to judge."
"I think the main focus should be the continuous delivery aspects."
"If they deploy it correctly, then it provides a tremendous benefit, but if you lay it out wrong, it can be a nightmare to work with."
"Endevor has not impacted my organization positively, if at all."
"When you go into the front-end, the web portal, if, for example, you pick up an issue, it would be ideal if the branch was automatically created in the repository. Right now, this isn't the case."
"The tool's subscriptions are expensive for medium and small businesses. It works fine on Windows. However, it is not stable on other platforms."
"I have seen customizations with Team System that allowed it to integrate into other ticketing systems like Jira, which would be a really nice feature to see."
"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."
"I would like to see the inclusion of more programming languages, especially better support for Java."
"I would say compared to some more modern tools which are made to work offline, with this solution you have to be connected all of the time and with a central server. In our case, it's not a big problem because we all work on-premises, but it can be an issue if you have teams in different locations."
"The UI itself is not always intuitive, often requiring extra steps."
"The stability of the product could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Just make sure if you are going to license, ensure you license the right features.​"
"The product is 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."
"The solution is very expensive."
"It's worth the value. The pricing is fairly good, justifiable for the return on investment."
"Licensing is fairly simple, you don't need multiple licenses."
"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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is an open-source product from Microsoft."
