Bower	Score 0.0 out of 10	N/A	Bower is a package manager for the web. Web sites are made of lots of things — frameworks, libraries, assets, and utilities. Bower manages these. Keeping track of all these packages and making sure they are up to date (or set to the specific versions you need) can be tricky. Bower helps with this also.

Likelihood to Recommend	Open Source No answers on this topic	IBM IBM Rational ClearCase might be better suited for a smaller / simpler code base. Larger code bases really slow it down... but then again there are better alternatives out there for source control Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Plastic SCM Plastic SCM is well suited for the distributed development environment, where branching and merging can easily be handled. Its a good tool for version controlling, especially for a big team which is contributing to a big project simultaneously. Situation where Plastic SCM is not at all well suited are : If the project is smaller one and need to be handled by couple of people. So in that case setting up Plastic SCM and educating people to work on it is not at all efficient Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Open Source No answers on this topic	IBM Rational ClearCase is excellent for handling versioning and branching. No other tool I've used has the depth that ClearCase has when it comes to handling complex branching scenarios and identifying where certain versions of particular files are within a particular configuration. Rational ClearCase handles parallel development of many dependent applications really well. The use of ClearCase Views to switch between projects and configurations is extremely convenient as opposed to the local workstation model of the competitors.

Cons	Open Source No answers on this topic	IBM Extremely buggy. Sometimes the repository gets locked for no reason. Slow.

Alternatives Considered	Open Source No answers on this topic	IBM If development is centrallized to one location and your company releases hundreds of customized versions of your software per year, then ClearCase is the best tool for managing the complexity of multiple versions of customized software. If your company has globally distributed development, then I'd recommend Team Foundation Server over ClearCase. If your organization uses Agile Methodologies, then I'd recommend TFS with GIT. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Plastic SCM Plastic has best integration with unity - zero issues, native, straightforward. GitHub feels more stable but for smaller and or indie teams plastic s version control feels much more under control - you click, you feel safe. moreover, there is no need for extra tools such as gitkraken, gitlab, Sourcetree, fork, etc. it is really easy to develop games this way. Incentivized Jacob James Salzberg Co-Founder Read full review
Return on Investment	Open Source No answers on this topic	IBM Managed code versioning for many years. Only one person can edit code at a time - slows processing down. IBM is an expensive product to support.
