What do you like best about Panvalet?

I had the opportunity to use CA Panvalet in my very first profession, happened to use it for 3+ years.

The best thing about CA Panvalet is its ease of use.

Having the experience of working with other version controls , I believe Panvalet is the most easiest tool to use, be it retrieve, edit, delete, rename.

Also, the MENU is so simple that we can easily navigate through for the required operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panvalet?

Can never really think of any features that I dislike.

This product is so good that for someone even w/o much experience, they can start handling it in a day.

One thing though is PANVALET might be difficult to use in AGILE cases as the code management would be a little bit complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Panvalet:

One suggestion to budding developers who use Panvalet is to always have the backup of their source code. The reason is in most cases, the source code locking feature will not be accessible to the developers so there is always a chance of our code getting overridden.

In order to, avoid the rework it is always essential to have the backup.

Also another key suggestion is, we can make us of the rename utility available so that the same program with different versions can be available (with different names though). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Panvalet solving and how is that benefiting you?

Benefits include the below:

- Retrieval / Update can be done quickly.

- We can secure the program / lock the program.

- The BATCH mode support too is easy compared to other version controls where at times the creation of SCLs are time consuming & takes time to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Panvalet?

I used Pavalet on-line in 1985 on an OS/VS1 system and it worked very well, stayed up and running and provided an editor and source code management as there was no card reader for the IBM 4341. I have also used Panalet batch at other places. I would say the product works well as a source code manager. As another individual stated it is best to keep a copy of any source you have in the product as some sites modify the product and make it easy for other programmers to modify your source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panvalet?

I prefer to use a product as it designed by the manufacturer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Panvalet:

Panalet is a good product for those companies needing an adequate source code management product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Panvalet solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a past user and not currently using the product. Prior use has included source code for PL/1, COBOL programs, proc's, JCL and parmaters. The benefit is the management of the source code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Panvalet?

Code changes using panvalet are easily identifiable using the notiation of CL* in it compared to a standard PDS. Also support for member names with more than 8 characters would help in creating different clones of copybooks having the same layout for different purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Panvalet?

For changing the code a manual backup needs to be taken by the developer each and every time a code is being changed.

Also when a code catch up is being done there is no automatic code merge option to merge the code to reduce the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
