    Additional DetailsPlease note that Cradle is licenced by fully floating concurrent module licences. So pricing will depend on your usage pattern. For example licencing for 10 engineers may require 7 REQ (Requirements Management) , only 2 SYS (Systems Engineering Modelling) and say 1 DASH (Dashboard analytics). Licences are only locked when that function is accessed, which means a large user base can have access to all functionality at a much low cost than usual pricing. That's why it's good to call.—

    PTC Integrity is an excellent source code management and version control tool, and I would suggest anyone to use it for that purpose. We can even define our workflows using individual forms for implementing Change Management, Defect Management and Access management requests. If properly used, this tool is great for managing our code for very long periods, considering my 4-5 years of usage. Though the UI could be better, and integration with some application servers could be better implemented, this tool is a good tool.

    • It can be overwhelming with the number of tabs, functions and ways to achieve the same result. The average user may struggle with learning the tool.
    • The text editing in Integrity is weak and does not provide many options. Because of this, many user decide to use MS word instead, to document requirements.

    I do not make decisions on what tool my company uses. I am just the user of the tool and such decisions are not handled by me. If I were to make such decisions, I would definitely renew MKS, considering the amount of data we have stored in MKS and the current number of users who are familiar with the system

    PTC Integrity comparatively could be considered a nice Source code management, Version controlling tool and could be compared with tools like StarTeam. If the integration to move/migrate code could be integrated into this tool, it would become an extremely powerful tool.

    PTC Integrity administration can be somewhat daunting. They have been able to help with every question that I have submitted. Their support website is very easy to understand and submit questions and their phone support is wonderful

    I think the reason that PTC Integrity was initially chosen is that it was the best product available in the mix at the time. This coupled with the PTC deal on multiple products was a no brainer based on the size and scope of potential users.

    • MKS Integrity has proved to be particularly useful in the software development process by increasing employee effieciency
    • MKS integrity has also made software development a very efficient process and makes feature releases and bug fixing a lot easier
    • In addition to the above, our organization has been able to support manufacturing easily by reverting to a previous software version in case of an emergency.
    • It has also led to faster time to market for new products.
