The auditing capability is one aspect that I would really recommend other colleagues to look into, because all the other version control tools out in the market provide speed, but the auditing capability is missing; the change management interaction; etc. I would say look at that aspect, so you are not really tracking, and you have better visibility and traceability of the code promotion. It has been a really good solution, getting in all our applications together, and creating a change management kind of a workflow. I haven’t given it a perfect rating because I still want the user experience to be better; to improve; make it faster in terms of understanding the tool.

One word of advice is that CA is coming up with a new product called Unified Source Control. It provides an architecture that allows your developers to work with whatever tools they want, but in the backend, it uses CA Mainframe Software Manager (CA SCM). When looking for a vendor, the thing that I really look for is enterprise support. We've worked with a couple small companies, and support has been a real big challenge. Enterprise support is one of the huge things for me.
