Asset dashboards have created slow, rigid workflows and have limited effective life cycle tracking

The single dashboards do not help my team or the company as a whole. I feel the dashboards are not helpful because the search features are not customizable. The software is web-based and the server is extremely slow. To improve Endevor, its cloud or web-based server capabilities should be increased so that the software is faster. The ability to customize reports should be increased.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's very flexible. A new technology comes along, this can be multiplied to handle the new technology quite easily."

"Stability is very solid."

"Stability has been really good. I have actually never had to open an issue or report an issue since I have been running it."

"The most valuable feature of Endevor is the software controller."

"It offers security and audit of changes in information assets (software)."

"The tools are specifically designed for mainframe environments, providing features tailored to the unique requirements of the systems, ensuring there are no mistakes."

"Our automation, our development implementations are all automated, which is a huge amount of time savings."

"Endevor helps me manage the asset life cycle by allowing us to evaluate all of our utility equipment in the software."

More Endevor pros

"I especially value the complete traceability and ease of use with Microsoft Word."

Cons

"Learning the tool for the first time was extremely difficult, and it could be because of all the other processes we had around it."

"There are a lot of areas: using it cross-platform; across a diverse set of application portfolios, including legacy systems, as well as open systems; both waterfall and Agile development."

"The scalability of Endevor could improve."

"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."

"Currently the only solution is to continue creating environments for use with agile development which is a maintenance nightmare, or ask the application teams to redesign their software so it is contained within their own applications."

"The internal setup is complex and rigid."

"The main challenges are its limited interface and the complexity of the customization."

"Probably more of a web-based option for it, because it is mostly mainframe."

More Endevor cons

"Only go with this solution if you are not pursuing Agile development."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is fairly simple, you don't need multiple licenses."

"Just make sure if you are going to license, ensure you license the right features."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution is very expensive."

"It's competitively priced and, as far as I know, it's just an enterprise license. We have found it is worth the money."

"It's worth the value. The pricing is fairly good, justifiable for the return on investment."

Broadcom

IBM Rational RequisitePro, a requirements management tool that teams can use to manage project requirements comprehensively in order to promote communication and collaboration among team members and reduce project risk. Requirements management is essential for improving your software development process. Rational RequisitePro uses a project database for managing requirements in views with sort and query capabilities. It also includes integration with Microsoft Word for creating and maintaining requirements documents that are linked to the database for real-time updates to requirements from within documents. The database and Word integration helps you organize and prioritize your requirements, trace relationships between them, and track changes that affect them. Traceability features visually indicate how changes affect the project, thereby helping to perform impact analysis and make informed decisions for scope management or resource allocation. Rational RequisitePro captures the change history for each requirement, thereby providing a paper audit of the evolution of project requirements.
