User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	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	NovaBACKUP Provide data protection for small to media size clients. Sends comprehensive email reports upon job completion. Physical to Virtual Migrations. Backing up physical and virtual machines. Alerting on backup job success or failure. Support is could be a little better, but it is adequate. The application is frequently updated and supports the latest operating systems from Microsoft and VMware.

Pros	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	IBM Extremely buggy. Sometimes the repository gets locked for no reason. Slow. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NovaBACKUP None, it provides all the functionality we require. Improve licensing costs.

Alternatives Considered	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	NovaBACKUP Not as polished as Veeam, but a lot cheaper when backing up data from over 10 servers. Otherwise, if you are backing up just one server, and don't need much in the way of support, the Veeam Community edition is a very cost-effective backup solution. When comparing the support and cost of Novabackup for a small to mid-size business, it is a very reliable solution.

Return on Investment	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NovaBACKUP Provides confidence that we can recover from data loss or corruption. Enabled easy P2V for our servers.
