    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

    Red Hat
    Best suited for - any organization where you have people who already have expertise on OpenStack, Linux & IP networking. Otherwise, the maintenance & operations will be difficult. When the number of deployed VMs reaches its capacity, it becomes very difficult to manage Red Hat OpenStack because there are no in-built fault management & performance management tools available within Red Hat OpenStack. Not suited for - Organizations where people have a culture of working on automated GUI-based tools. Here VMware wins over Red Hat OpenStack. Also where you have mission-critical applications where downtime cannot be tolerated.

    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.

    Red Hat
    • Scaling of application components (VMs).
    • Managing the networking between virtual machines.
    • Management of VNFs & the underlying infrastructure.
    • Availability & uptime of VMs because of features like VM migration & evacuation.

    Red Hat
    • User management really needs improvement - when compared to AWS or GCP.
    • Security of the overall platform needs to be improved.
    • The whole architecture needs to be modular which is not. Ex - Upgrading any particular component (nova, neutron, cinder) should be possible without upgrading the whole Red Hat OpenStack version.
    • The creation of HEAT templates for complex applications is still a challenge & has a dependency on external tools.
    • Stack creation still requires parameters modification at controllers & compute because of the complex nova-scheduler algorithm.

    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.

    Only because of low cost & zero licensing of Red Hat OpenStack

    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.

    Red Hat
    • Saved CAPEX for sure (I can't quote a figure).
    • Saved Opex also - because a large support community is already available.
    • Increased complexity of system setup though.
