Here is one more AccuRev vs. ClearCase video to share. And this one is a crowd favorite.

AccuRev vs. ClearCase in ClearCase Multisite Unsynced

Sure, we all know geographically distributed development teams face lots of challenges. But ClearCase doesn’t provide a simple solution to this problem. In fact, with ClearCase Multisite Unsynced, teams have trouble syncing up and don’t allow developers to work the the same branches at the same time.

With AccuReplica from AccuRev, all remote teams can work together and on the same code, like one co-located development organization.

More Issues with ClearCase?

Due to positive feedback from our first blog promoting AccuRev vs. ClearCase parody videos (see the post Issues with ClearCase?), and seeing as ClearCase has not addressed the needs of modern software developers in years, it seems only fitting to share a few more.

Rationally Wrapped

While ClearCase users deal with complicated wrappers and scripts during upgrades, AccuRev is easy to use right out of the box, and doesn’t need any wrappers or scripts.

Developers Revolt

Locked out of ClearCase again?

AccuRev will never lock developers out.

Do these issues resonate with you and your development team? Read more about how AccuRev auto-synchronizes with ClearCase, providing developers the ability to get up and running with AccuRev at no risk!

Issues with ClearCase?

While the AccuRev blog rarely digresses from its serious and technical nature, an opportunity to inject light and humorous content has arisen.

About 3 years ago, AccuRev released a series of short parody videos based on customer feedback that compared AccuRev and ClearCase, and even today, the amount of views continue to grow.

While one might think the videos are now outdated, being 3 years old, they are still very much applicable today because, well, the same ClearCase issues exist…

Example 1: ClearCase Installation.

Installing Rationally

Of the many differences between AccuRev and Clearcase, the first can be seen during installation. How long does it take ClearCase admins to install ClearCase? Hours? Days? AccuRev’s smaller server eliminates the issue of multi-day-long installations.
