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.

We've used it for traditional help desk and defect tracking endeavors
It is the Swiss Army knife of software applications. If you have a process, SBM can be easily used to track and report on that process We've used it for traditional help desk and defect tracking endeavors, but we've also used it for HR, Marketing, and even some non-traditional government…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The source integrity is the most valuable feature."
"It standardizes the processing of all the development. Everything gets produced in a constant and consistent manner."
"Endevor is a solid product; it works, does its job, is stable, and I have never heard any complaints for improvements in this product."
"Consistent, repeatable processes, and the automation that we have built take away much of the human error aspect."
"The most valuable feature of Endevor is customization and ease of use."
"We have been able to replicate entire SDLCs for new clients and have them loaded and ready to use Endevor in as little as one week. This was possible with the use of Endevor variables within the processors, so that a single processor was able to function for multiple systems across the entire SDLC."
"We have used it for years and never had any real issues with it."
"Our automation, our development implementations are all automated, which is a huge amount of time savings."
"There was a significant ROI, as the development of weekly metrics from Excel spreadsheets, Lotus Notes databases, Access databases, and some Word documents went from a two to three day affair to a process that now takes seconds."
"Allows us to automate work flows to provision IS services."
"The Composer is absolutely a magical tool, allowing you to get a fully functional app based on your process sketch in a couple of hours, without knowing BPMN notation."
"Estimates from all teams are visible in one general ticket (PFC)."
 

Cons

"It's complex because it depends upon your development architecture. Also, it's reached the limits of automation and freedom given to end users."
"If I had to comment on an area of ​​improvement or something new in the next or future version, I would like to see AI-assisted coding and impact analysis for mainframes."
"I like the stability and CA’s responsiveness, but I haven’t used anything else, so it’s hard to judge."
"The customer service and support team are not helpful and they're slow to respond."
"They’ve got little things that I would like to see. It’s more for the administrative side as opposed to the developer who uses Endevor."
"The Eclipse based UI still needs improvement and CA is working on that in v18."
"Endevor can improve parallel development."
"I would like to see it used for Hadoop, which is really huge now."
"Reporting is generally very good, but people always want more."
"Response time could improve."
"User interface and links between tickets. For me, Jira is the ideal tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"Licensing is fairly simple, you don't need multiple licenses."
"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."
"Just make sure if you are going to license, ensure you license the right features.​"
