Find out what your peers are saying about Broadcom, BMC, Microsoft and others in Software Configuration Management."Scalability is great. It has absolutely met every need for us so far. We do have some concurrent development paths and we're able to flexibly assign variables. At the same time, our skeletons assemble where we want them to, so the scalability is very good."
"We audit once a year for our ChangeMan access, accurate financial programs, and all of that. Auditors really love ChangeMan for how easy it is to get through and how tight the security is on it. Our internal auditors, external auditors, and SOX editors love this solution. We're in the healthcare business, so HIPAA regulations and all such things are a big deal, and this makes all that really simple."
"Visual Studio Team System is the most powerful IDE available in the market."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the code management, where there is sharing of code for developers and it is distributed within the organization."
"The solution has a good framework that is user friendly and scalable."
"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."
"I am not familiar with any issues with respect to stability, and I have never seen Team System crash."
"The product helps with version control. I can build, develop, test and deploy applications from a single platform."
"I would like to see them enable parallel development for online. It's available now for batch stuff on the mainframe. Jenkins, IBM, and Rocket all supposedly already have safe and workable version of Git for the mainframe. With that in mind, we need to know where our feature is."
"As such, there's nothing wrong with the product. It is great, but there are small things that can be better to make it much more friendly. The way you navigate through fields can be improved. If I'm going to stage a component over something that exists and that I've created in another library, and I want to pull it in and write it over what I've got there in my package, I've got to type in that data set name every time. That can be aggravating. It is not a big deal. The way things are sorted can also be improved. If you're doing a delete of a bunch of components, you can't sort those out by type or anything. Some things are just standard, and you can't look at them in a way that would be helpful."
"Support response time could stand improvement."
"I would like to see the inclusion of more programming languages, especially better support for Java."
"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."
"The tool's subscriptions are expensive for medium and small businesses. It works fine on Windows. However, it is not stable on other platforms."
"The stability of the product could be better."
"The user experience for the task assignment functionality, and more generally the software lifecycle development, needs to be improved."
"The overall customer support needs to improve."
"Accessibility switches available on the desktop should also be available on mobile devices for coding or developing on the go."
