Provides good scalability, but its implementation process needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "Endevor is easy to use."
  • "It is difficult to find file programs and use a different tool for the setup as the compilation process is all locked up."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product as a source manager and program manager. It helps in controlling the mainframe code and performing data migrations.

What is most valuable?

Endevor is easy to use.

What needs improvement?

The product’s implementation process is complicated and restrictive. It is difficult to find file programs and use a different tool for the setup as the compilation process is all locked up, at least in our implementation. We might switch to MySQL for the same reason.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Endevor for ten years. We use the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable, but it is not static as we are developing software.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 100 Endevor users in our organization. It is a very scalable product.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I use SCLM as well.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup process is complex with complicated programs. We have a primary technical executive and two support executives to handle the implementation.

What about the implementation team?

We implement the product with the help of third-party vendors and our in-house staff.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Endevor a seven out of ten. I wouldn’t recommend it to others. It could have better pricing and support strategies.

A highly stable tool for managing mainframe software development projects that require significant expertise
Pros and Cons
  • "The tools are specifically designed for mainframe environments, providing features tailored to the unique requirements of the systems, ensuring there are no mistakes."
  • "The main challenges are its limited interface and the complexity of the customization."

What is our primary use case?

We use the basic feature set of Endevor to control and track all of the sales operations within our company. 

What is most valuable?

It is a very good product that allows safe management of the individual components. The tools are specifically designed for mainframe environments, providing features tailored to the unique requirements of the systems, ensuring there are no mistakes.

What needs improvement?

The main challenges are its limited interface and the complexity of the customization. The user interface may seem outdated and affect user experience.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used the solution for twenty years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I am highly satisfied with the stability. I rate it ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is designed to handle complex software projects while accommodating multiple versions and developers. I would rate the scalability of the solution nine out of ten. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are currently researching other solutions that can be a better option for our organization, so we may possibly change to BMC as it provides a better and updated solution for their users.

What other advice do I have?

Endevor provides a stable workflow that ensures good control and consistency of the operations. I would rate it eight out of ten.
