StarTeam competition, reply to ObeTimeTwo
by: kilroy001

Competetion for StarTeam includes PVCS (a joke of a product), Source Safe(simple version control only), Dimensions
(somewhat impressive, but hard to administer), Perforce (small player), Continuous(I don't know much about it). The biggest
competitor is probably ClearCase. ClearCase is very popular with big corporations, but the product in all honesty sucks.
EXTREMELY difficult to administer, very poor performance...

StarTeam has a huge advantage because it so easy to administer and the performance is excellent. It has the best architecture that
I'm aware of. Since it is a new product, it doesn't have all the legacy issues and they were able to make the product easily
extendable (via COM/Java).

ClearCase is an old architecture that was aquired via aquisition. Rational(the co. that makes ClearCase) is attempting to integrate
all their products with the vision of having a design to implementation impact and linkage. The problem with this is all their
products don't integrate together very well - it's half assed. That's what happens when you buy a bunch of disperate co's and try to
make all their products work together.

I work for a major telecomm and am forced to use ClearCase for company wide stuff. My group uses StarTeam for our project
because it was too hard to update the ClearCase projects when we needed to obsolete files, rename them, change directory
structures, branch, etc. That and ClearCase crashes all the time on Win NT. StarTeam NEVER crashes. ClearCase also slows
down your machine since it has this elaborate file system.

Just my opinion.
