Very slow and not intuitive; it would be my last choice for version control systems.The UI is a little confusing at times and seems a little outdated. It needs a lot of improvement. It is suited for small projects and fewer number of projects. But if there are huge projects and many projects to be maintained in a portfolio, its a little hard to manage.

Well suited: It is a software that allows to simulate PID controllers is a valuable educational resource. Users can learn how PID controllers maintain the desired value of a process variable, such as temperature, pressure, or flow, by adjusting system inputs in simulation. It is a program that allows to simulate electro-pneumatic systems can be extremely useful to understand the integration of electronic components with pneumatic actuators, valves, and other elements in automated control systems. Less appropiate: The software appears to be resource intensive in terms of storage and execution. This means that it requires a significant amount of hard disk space and good processing power to run efficiently. On computers with limited or older hardware, the software may run slowly or not be able to execute all of its functions. This is an important limitation for users with limited access to high specification equipment.

Pros
OpenText
  • One place for most recent code with history, avoid any conflict/confusion among other team/members.
  • Stream/Workflow approach to control approval process betwen all the teams, which I couldn't find in other version control tools I worked.
  • Bundle our code in a small group (called, Issues in Accurev) to differentiate between different projects.

  • Allows the simulation of HMI screens
  • integrates the necessary software to simulate PLC's and link them with HMI screens.
  • It is useful when handling Grafcet.
  • Easy to program in function blocks FBD.

Cons
OpenText
  • Ability to zoom in/out for stream-view. We currently have many streams/substreams and unable to view the entire workflow. Zooming in/out would benefit.
  • Being a designer, I use Adobe Flash and SWF files. When updating the SWF files, Accurev does not see these files as being changed and you will be unable to promote. In order to push changes, you must totally rename the SWF file.

  • Amount of resources it takes up on the hard drive
  • excessive consumption of execution resources (RAM, GPU)
  • some licensing problems that are sometimes not recognized
  • the existing saturation of icons on the main programming screen

In my view, accurev ranks very low compared to other tools I have used. Microsoft TFS is the best in the industry as of today as it's a complete ALM solution. It does code version, bug tracking, user story documentation, and has easy integration with other external tools supporting many languages. So I would definitely recommend TFS to anyone.
