It just so happens that I have been looking into TeamNet and ClearCase.
The Product is called TeamNet, the company's name is "TeamOne Systems".
The correct address is;
710 Lakeway Drive,
Suit 100
Sunnyvale, CA 94086
Tel: 408-730-3500
TeamNet as been around for over five years now, and is being used
extensively by many large corporations. From what I understand about
ClearCase, they have only been around for about 18 months and
are they have only just finished beta testing on the Sun and HP platforms.
As to the use of filesystems, TeamNet seems to have a more transparent
and easier to use filesystem than ClearCase. ClearCase requires greater
effort to setup and use. The method of setting up source baselines
and workareas for TeamNet was just far easier and required less thought
than ClearCase. This doesn't mean that TeamNet lacks functionality.
TeamNet seemed to be a more "natural" way of working, and more
intuitive.
Lastly, TeamNet's architecture seems to be more mature and better
tought out, there seems to be alot of growing room designed into
the product. The underlying system is built on top of an OODB, which
a future product called the "Process Automation Kit" will capitalize on.
ClearCase to me seemed like a DSEE clone, that just wont scale in large
environments and wont grow with a company. The underlying architure
would probably need to change drastically for tha product to grow and
change over the years, especially there DB, which is based on a
relational database that just does not seem suited to handle the type
of meta-data required for a CM system.
(Whoops, I didn't mean this to sound like a comparison, I got slightly
carried away).
