"We use the tool to store codes."
"Git's learning curve is shallow, making the solution easy to use after a few tutorials."
"The most valuable feature of Git is its ability to track updates, such as firmware documentation. Additionally, many people can make changes to code without problems. It is able to solve conflicts very easily."
"The product protects our data."
"You can have a central code repository using Git and have local code branches."
"The tool's most valuable feature is branch workflows."
"ClearCase integrates well with other engineering tools and frameworks such as the Eclipse environment."
"The tool had features similar to Git for version control. It offered branching and merging capabilities, providing better control over code management. Integration was possible with other tools, including some change management tools. The overall process was normal."
"IBM Rational ClearCase is a stable solution. I have not had any difficulty with reliability."
"The platform could have a feature for monitoring data recovery similar to Azure."
"I would like more documentation."
"New developers sometimes find it difficult to call a review or create a request."
"The UI can be more user-friendly."
"If the solution could provide more language support options such as Korean, it would be helpful."
"Git removed the credential feature."
"In a future release, the user interface should be easier to use and more intuitive."
"The main problem for me is the frequent upgrades in the solution because every other upgrade is a minefield. When you do the upgrade, there is always something that doesn't work."
"The solution's UI is slow compared to other tools. It is an old tool."
"The protection needs to be improved."
"I have found it very difficult to understand many functionalities in IBM Rational ClearCase. We have had many problems and it is not user-friendly."
