Panvalet Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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

Easy to check-out & check-in the code and also to trace different versions of code changes even for a fresher. Best among all other CM tools to work with and maintain as I felt it’s more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Easy to use when no control required over the code in different testing environments. Anyone can create a new panvalet unlike pre defined library created by version control tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
