I'm with Atlassian and we have a great set of development tools, but we would never consider them a suite. As you say, the best development tools are built for a single purpose, not just to complement something else. Great post, couldn’t agree more!!

That's what we've heard from users as well. I'd also say they were impressed with the way Accurev managed process as well, but did recommend using Jira or another bug tracker if we needed more than the basics. New web interface looks pretty cool though. I'll weigh it in. Thank you again. M Thanks for the fast response! That’s what we’ve heard from users as well.

The VC part of the tool works great. Good value, awesome support, minimal training required for day to day use. The bug tracker is weak. We used it, and it ended up that we couldn't really justify migrating away (it wasn't awful). If you like the way Accurev does VC, buy it, but don't use Accuwork. Use their "Accubridge" product to connect Accurev to a real bug tracker. I can't speak for their other offerings as we just used Accurev and Accuwork. Mark -
