"It standardizes the processing of all the development. Everything gets produced in a constant and consistent manner."
"It's the audit-level tracking. If something has gone wrong I can go back and figure out what happened, who did it."
"We can make it do pretty much whatever we want, depending on just how complicated we want it to be, as it is pretty flexible."
"We backup people's source code for them."
"Endevor is easy to use."

"It was an easy install. Since it was all set up, it pretty much runs itself now."
"Security features can be improved."

"The initial setup can be less complex and has room for improvement."
"Learning the tool for the first time was extremely difficult, and it could be because of all the other processes we had around it. But knowing you can do these things in batch, you can do things in the foreground or online mode, and then these, you have to have a package for. There are these rules, and some of the concepts inside the tool are not clear, like what is the CCID? Why do I have to have one? What is that? And how is it used? As a developer, it's not important to me - I don't know what a CCID is, and I don't care - but apparently it's important to someone."
"Interfacing with some change control products that are not CA's, it's a little glitchy on the approvals of changes. It requires special needs for the users for approvals."
"It is difficult to find file programs and use a different tool for the setup as the compilation process is all locked up."
"It is still kind of behind the times. It needs to catch up with all the millennials that want a distributed look and feel."
"There are a lot of screens in it. The process for moving out my other solutions, it could be more convenient. There are a lot of steps to go through and a lot of screens to go through to get it accomplished."
