Find out in this report how the two Software Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 most valuable feature is the code management, where there is sharing of code for developers and it is distributed within the organization."
"Visual Studio Team System is the most powerful IDE available in the market."
"The product helps with version control. I can build, develop, test and deploy applications from a single platform."
"I am not familiar with any issues with respect to stability, and I have never seen Team System crash."
"The solution has a good framework that is user friendly and scalable."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Microsoft makes great products. They are quite robust."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the inclusion of more programming languages, especially better support for Java."
"The product must improve its stability."
"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 product should be priced better."
"Support response time could stand improvement."
"Accessibility switches available on the desktop should also be available on mobile devices for coding or developing on the go."
"The overall customer support needs to improve."
"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."
