CA Endevor stands out to me for its dependability. After exploiting it for a long period, definitely I can claim that it has kept me under tight software development life cycle control. It follows changes minutely, making certain that facilitates are not misplaced and all preceding versions are numbered and kept separate. This relief cannot be overemphasized.

None of the challenges I encountered with C.A. Endevor was as severe as this initial learning curve. It’s a rather intricate or complicated instrument that comes with considerable functionality. Finding comfort with it was the result of a significant time and resource investment. Novel teammates, are called to speed up integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like CA Endevor simply because it can be counted on every time. It an old product that has been on the scene for years; therefore, its safe to be used for my business key historical applications. As well as that, it also provides reliable non-reverting functionality which is very important because it allows preserving the history of changes made to our codebase.

CA has Endevour feeling like something from bygone age. Interface usability is not appealing and needs one to undergo extensive training for new employees to adapt to it. That the mainframe technology on which it is built is far behind the latest development tools can make it seem antiquated and uncomfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of migrating elements from development stage to Test stage or Production stage.
Package can be easily created which consists of single or multiple elements and can be migrated easily across stages.
Code modules can be easily checked out and tool also holds the historical versions.
Product is cheaper than its competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Interface is pretty outdated as it is mainly used for Legacy applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about Endevor is maintaining a long list of versions (historical versions), that too with the stats available (Inserts / Deletes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Building SCL is not something that new users can easily relate to, if the SCL can be built in a more easy way it would be nice. (For ex: they can come up with showing up choices for elements, element type, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is version control tool and very helpful to keep trace all the changes made on Mainframe elements in single place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Looks like moving the elements from one environment to another environment would be lengthy process, but process varying depends on the clients/shop we works Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
