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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accurev does a great job and keeping track of changes, allowing you to keep, and revert easily. Overall, just an easy way to track changes, and maintain versions of your business code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really do not like the interface, maybe that is the best that can be done, but it seems clunky, and often the wording on the options is confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Especially for revision control going between version and updating the workspace, 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 the relationship between different branches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 a little 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.

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.

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.
