Changeman or Endevor

Postby sinmani » Tue Jun 19, 2012 3:07 pm

Hi Folks,

I have used both Endevor and changemen. I would like to know which is considered better, Changeman or Endevor.

My Opinion.

Changeman is better than endevor but Its more expensive as well which could be a drawback. Others please list out pros and cons for both.

It depends, what kind of shop you are at. I've my own opinion about it but suggest you get in contact with some representative of these products -- they will be the best source of information on this kind of information.

It doesn't really matter - you use what you are given. And a lot of it is personal preference only. I used to think Endevor was pretty good and then I came across Changeman and I was convinced that Endevor was tops. That was a few years ago. Now I am back using Endevor and it seems so darned complicated compared with what I remember. Antway - I use what the company uses and my preferences do not come into it.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
Regards
Nic

Yes that right. We don't really have a choice and have to use whatever the company is using.

Same here NicC. I started with using endevor and thought it was very good. But then I switched to changeman and now I think that changeman is very useful escpecially if we want to use different version of same component.
and testing
