A highly stable tool for managing mainframe software development projects that require significant expertise
We use the basic feature set of Endevor to control and track all of the sales operations within our company.  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…

Have faced challenges in getting timely responses but have managed to streamline workflows and reduce infrastructure costs
My current company was not using any products apart from AMQ. I suggested it to them, which is why they started using it. I also suggested it to the customer. The feedback for Red Hat AMQ has been good. Based on this, we suggest it to our customers, and they are happy using that product. Our big customer, FedEx, which is one of the best and biggest giants in logistics and courier, started using it and they are happy with that. The base operating system, RHEL 8 and 9, is being used across the infrastructure. The server and critical applications and data are running on Red Hat 8 and 9. We are performing proper maintenance of the OS and it is working fantastically. We have not received any issues or complaints. Our domains include Human Gateway, pharmaceuticals, and automobile clients. The critical application is running on Microsoft Azure DevOps Server. When developers send code to us, we create the CI/CD pipeline and schedule jobs. The solution provides time savings and infrastructure savings. Multiple virtual machines are not required when installing applications in containerization, which saves infrastructure costs. We receive notifications about CPU, memory, and disk space utilization from time to time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The introduction of promotion packages was awesome."
"I think it's the best SCM I've used and would definitely recommend it."
"I would definitely advise to go with Endevor, no question."
"It is easy to use, easy to learn, and easy to maintain; also the automation."
"​It was an easy install. Since it was all set up, it pretty much runs itself now."
"The integrity of the system is valuable, providing secure, controlled access to source management and the typical check-in and check-out functions in a typical source management product."
"Endevor allows us to map a change made to the production environment through various stages of delivery."
"It is the Cadillac of that tool; there is no other tool that matches it on the market today, it is the best, and it is very stable."
"What I like most is that it is a very comprehensive product."
"The feedback for Red Hat AMQ has been good; based on this, we suggest it to our customers, and they are happy using that product."
"In summary, this is a good product that is straightforward, easy to use, and manages well."
"The product is efficient."
"At my previous employer, I had 100 or more programmers and the product handled everything like a charm, no problem."
"The solution’s fast performance is its most valuable feature."
"What I like about this solution is that you have Source control that enables you to organize and track the production so that you know where you are in the development phase and so on."
"The solution has a good framework that is user friendly and scalable."
 

Cons

"There should be better integration between CA Endevor Software Change Manager and Zowe."
"While CA is able to react to our requests for new features, I think the downside is they don’t use as much long, or medium term strategy anymore."
"If they deploy it correctly, then it provides a tremendous benefit, but if you lay it out wrong, it can be a nightmare to work with."
"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."
"It is stable. We do not have any issues with it. It is just complex because it is a tool set. It is not a plug and play kind of product at all."
"Probably more of a web-based option for it, because it is mostly mainframe."
"The customer service and support team are not helpful."
"Interfacing with some change control products that are not CA's, it's a little glitchy on the approvals of changes."
"The UI itself is not always intuitive, often requiring extra steps."
"The technical support could be better."
"I would like to see the inclusion of more programming languages, especially better support for Java."
"Price is a concern, though we are currently managing."
"I have seen customizations with Team System that allowed it to integrate into other ticketing systems like Jira, which would be a really nice feature to see."
"I cannot comment on how I rate Microsoft Azure DevOps Server solution; I'm working in a small part of it and don't have enough experience."
"The user experience for the task assignment functionality, and more generally the software lifecycle development, needs to be improved."
"Support response time could stand improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"The solution is very expensive."
"It's worth the value. The pricing is fairly good, justifiable for the return on investment."
"Licensing is fairly simple, you don't need multiple licenses."
"It's competitively priced and, as far as I know, it's just an enterprise license. We have found it is worth the money."
"Just make sure if you are going to license, ensure you license the right features.​"
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The price could be better."
"You can choose pricing from a variety of options. I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"There is no fee for the solution's community version."
"It is an open-source product from Microsoft."
