SS Satya S. Staff Firmware Lead Engineer Semiconductors Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/23/2015 "iOS of Revision Control" 4/5 What do you like best about OpenText AccuRev? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText AccuRev? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText AccuRev: Ease of use = Accurev. Don't think twice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText AccuRev solving and how is that benefiting you? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works well enough for version control to store old versions, review differences between versions, and promote files when they're ready for the next level. The command line interface is powerful and makes it easy to script and automate tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText AccuRev? It's different from other version control systems with different terminologies, so there is a steep learning curve for new users. It's fairly slow to do a lot of things, sometimes several minutes. When I am updating a workspace I usually switch to another program and switch back later so I don't have to wait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText AccuRev: Try it before you buy it. If users are used to different version control systems, factor in time and resources for training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText AccuRev solving and how is that benefiting you? Tracking source code changes over time at different levels with developers' comments and the capability to revert to old versions when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
