Micro Focus AccuRev Reviews

UI is very user-friendly.

The ability to keep track of streams and modified files easily and quickly.

Easy to update and commnt

The GUI to search for past file updates is hard to use and the cost is high

version control

The UI is very user-friendly.

Syncing and committing speed is fast compared to other similar products.

The price for licenses is expensive, so our company seeks a free but terrible product instead.

Hope you can lower the price.

1. We use it to sync code with other team

2. We use it to test our codes locally, and promote it to center.

Has good flexibility and friendly UI design. It is simple and easy to use.

Cost is high

Slow to use

Search option is hard to use.

This product is very well designed. The version control is easy to use. A trial should be given.

Use it to test the code. The merging option is great to use.

changes to the stream will automatically populated to sub streams

Actually, I'm very satisfied with the product.

This product is very well designed. The version control is easy to use and the merging function is very clear.

The merging function is great feature in this product.

have stream and workspace to maintain the verison

user friendly text edit like compare difference

the price is not low as we want. So our company tried to use the differenr software like SVN/ smart SVN

verison control for all the codes

Clear structure

Easy for revision control

Sometime it takes more time to open and the cost is high

Revision control

Team work Implementation

flexibility, easy drag and drop feature, 're-parent' feature

Sometimes, it does not promote changes correctly. new changes are lost.

The challenge was to use a good version control system to integrate our code with jenkins for nightly builds of our product. Thanks to used accurev plugin for jenkins, we were able to achieve this easily.

Works on multiple platforms, Windows, Linux, CentOS. Users can have workspaces on several development machines at the same time. Non-changeable, immutable data store, perfect for compliance requirements ISO and similar.

Perl script for changes to system parameters. If you do not have an in-house Perl Script staff member, it is a real process to work with AccuRev to make simple changes in the system.

For best functionality be sure to have a Perl script team member on-staff. Train users well at inception for best results. Be sure to layout stream paths and names in advance, this is by nature a non-changeable system.

Software change management, excellent for keeping version control up to date, easy to use interface for many different developers. Fairly easy to move workspaces from one machine to another, which is helpful for developers that frequently upgrade machines/equipment (testing and development environments).

I like the merge system and the ability to keep track of streams and modified files easily and quickly.

The GUI to search for past file updates is hard to use. It would be better if the graph is more compact.

N/A

The ease of using Accurev. I have used SVN and Accurev and feel that for most of the tasks Accurev is simple to use without much learning curve. Espicially for revision control going between version and updating the work space, Merging code is very simple on Accurev.

One of the most convenient features of Accurev is creating new branches from a main branch.

The other feature, I like the most is the visual representation of all the code branches showing where each branch has originated from. This gives a very good idea of relationship between different branches.

Just iOS (of smartphones), the 'not so commonly used' operations are difficult to access. For example, Blame of SVN (that shows revision number and author of each line) is done better than that in Accurev.

While browsing all the branches and searching for branches, I feel that Accurev is littler slower. This is not to say its competition SVN is faster. I just feel that Accurev could step up the game by speeding up browsing different code branches.

Ease of use = Accurev. Don't think twice.

We use Accurev for Revision control of Firmware. Maintaining the code and populating multiple branches was made very easy by Accurev. Also, building the code on different branches each with its own specific requirements is way easier.

Also, bringing up new hires to use Accurev takes very small learning curve. Enabling us to train and bring new hires up to speed very quickly.
