| Chief Software Engineer at a educational organization with 1-10 employees | 4.0 | No summary available |
| CEO at DrAlex Software | 3.5 | I used ClearCase for 19 years. Initially revolutionary, it was a miracle for SCM with great ROI, despite complex setup and mediocre support. However, its development slowed, and newer tools are now often preferred. |
| ClearCase and engineering tools administrator at a comms service provider with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.0 | I've used ClearCase for 16 years. Its MultiSite feature is crucial for global teams and it scales well. However, platform support and performance need improvement, while setup is complex and costly. IBM's support is also declining. |
| Senior Manager of Infrastructure at a retailer with 10,001+ employees | 2.0 | This product met our SOX compliance and traceability needs, with easy setup and good stability. However, UI performance and global availability are lacking, and support is just okay. I recommend a more modern solution. |
| Technical Consultant at MTRiver Consulting | 3.0 | I use IBM Rational ClearCase for configuration management, training, and version control. Its valuable features include Git-like version control with branching and merging, which enhance code management. However, the user interface is outdated and slower compared to newer tools. |
