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.

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

"CA Endevor is better than not having any source control management, some kind of source control tools."
"The approach of writing a single set of Endevor processors to work across multiple instances of the application (separate systems) made the processors fairly complex, but once you understand them, they are so powerful."
"The management and information CA Endevor Software Change Manager provides is very useful."
"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."
"Our automation, our development implementations are all automated, which is a huge amount of time savings."
"It’s very stable; we don’t have any issues, and whenever we have an issue, we can call them up and they’ll fix it right away."
"I think it's the best SCM I've used and would definitely recommend it."
"Stability is very solid."
"For the project management side, I am using Microsoft Azure DevOps Server, it does its job well, and I don't see any drawbacks."
"Microsoft Azure DevOps Server is a go-to product because it has everything in one place for project management, delivery, code, and similar functionalities."
"I find Microsoft Azure DevOps Server to be proper and user-friendly, making it easy to manage."
"In summary, this is a good product that is straightforward, easy to use, and manages well."
"Visual Studio Team System is the most powerful IDE available in the market."
"The biggest advantage of Microsoft Azure DevOps Server for me is the integration with the rest of the ecosystem."
"IntelliSense and CodeLens are helpful because they can show you details about your function, such as how many times it is called from other places within the code."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Every month there is an increase in the number of users. It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"As a release tool, there probably could have been some additional enhancements, but it was effective."
"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."
"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."
"It is difficult to find file programs and use a different tool for the setup as the compilation process is all locked up."
"It's complex because it depends upon your development architecture. Also, it's reached the limits of automation and freedom given to end users."
"Learning the tool for the first time was extremely difficult, and it could be because of all the other processes we had around it."
"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."
"Sometimes finding errors and output can be difficult because it spits out so many messages that it is hard to figure out which ones are the ones you need to look at and what flow did it actually take through the processor is what they call them."
"While the solution performs well overall, it would be beneficial if they provided quick links for immediate access to support when queries arise."
"My experience with Azure Boards is not helpful for planning or tracking. In comparison to the boards on GitHub and GitLab, they are quite minimal."
"On a scale from zero to ten points, I would give Microsoft's technical support eight points. I give eight points and not ten because there is sometimes a delay, and I will not get a reply immediately."
"It crashed many times, because in engineering there are a lot of phases."
"The technical support could be better."
"Technical support is a bit lagging so could be improved."
"Sometimes it gets tough when you're dealing with a larger process if you're accessing it through the VPN. If you're not on the local network, you're accessing through the VPN, which already makes it slower in general, and then on top of that, if you're accessing a really large process, you're going to feel it slow down even more."
"Price is a concern, though we are currently managing."
 

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."
"It's worth the value. The pricing is fairly good, justifiable for the return on investment."
"It's competitively priced and, as far as I know, it's just an enterprise license. We have found it is worth the money."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The price could be better."
"There is no fee for the solution's community version."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is an open-source product from Microsoft."
"You can choose pricing from a variety of options. I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
