What do you think of CA Endevor Software Change Manager?
Primary Use Case We use it for version control in the mainframe area. It's been great. To be honest, we use GitHub for enterprise for the distributed world, and we use SCM for the mainframe world. So far, I've looked around as well. I've not seen a computer that's close to Endevor in terms of performance, scalability and capability. • Improvements to My Organization On a day to day basis, it's all about managing my operations without any downtime. The tool has done a good job of want I want it to do, and it's a very stable tool. I think it's doing a good job. • Valuable Features Automated build Quick Edit option Utilities for continuous integration • Room for Improvement I think the main focus should be the continuous delivery aspects.
