    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it would be my last choice for version control systems.The UI is a little confusing at times and seems a little outdated.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.

    We have a team of 500 people so it's most reliable and scalable if any new joinees. That way user's can directly create their own workspace and start working and share the work stack throughout development teams securely, to update and modify any upcoming events. The best thing about Red Hat Workspace is it's simple, with all Runtime libraries pre-installed, so no need to request a platform from Azure or any other platform provider just log in and start creating a workspace. It has version control so can easily import GIT projects can start work without worrying we don't have Java, Python or any other platform not installed just select the platform needed and start working.

    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.

    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.

    CatTools is simple to set up and administer. Anyone who can install a Windows application can quickly set up an automated backup of one or more devices. It does what it was designed to do.

    The software is easy enough to set up and configure that even after using the product for years, we never had to contact support. We used some open source products before utilizing CatTools and could have used a speed dial to try and figure out the intricacies of the products.

    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.

    Strengths:Cost-Effectiveness: CatTools is significantly more affordable than enterprise-grade tools like SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM) or Infoblox NetMRI. It is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses with tight budgets. Ease of Deployment: Kiwi CatTools is lightweight and easier to set up, while enterprise solutions often require substantial infrastructure and longer deployment times. Focus on Essentials: CatTools excels in its core functions, such as automated configuration backups, scheduled tasks, and essential compliance checks.
