I personally don't see any room for improvement. As it is now, the solution is very good.

The pricing should be more competitive.

It would be ideal if the solution offered more testability.

To improve the product, it needs some enhancement to the application's interface to be more user-friendly.

The product has all the features that we need and we can depend upon it. My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual. That is my point. It is not very friendly to use. For example, we may need the application to be more friendly in other sorts of ways. If we have an integrated module that allows access to the features we want through one click, you do not need to make it two or three clicks on the screen. The interface can be better designed to easily provide access to the features you need.

The feature I would like to see in the next release is just for it to be more friendly to use and to be like a smart application that intuits your movement through the application. It needs to be something that works smoothly and intelligent without any complicated navigation of screens.

Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM. A one to one match is not possible but they do allow integration with Git for those who prefer a distributed model.

Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved. The biggest issue with this product is not actually the product itself, but the lack of knowledge that customers have regarding what they can do with all of the features. They need to learn how to use and practice some particular functions. They need to learn about risk assessment and other facets. The customer's maturity is not equal to the product's full potential. The customers should get more training.

In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need.

The biggest issue with this product is not actually the product itself, but the lack of knowledge of customers regarding what they could do with this solution. Customers need to learn about risk assessment and impact matters, etc. Without the clients understanding how to use the solution, the solution itself will not be useful.

What I'm missing from the solution is a repository for the code. Something like Git, for example. Some sort of depository for the code that is embedded.
