What is on Your Mind?

Not sure where to post this so I placed it here. Anyone have any experience with cccHarvest 5.1 or AllFusion Harvest Change Manager 5.1? I have to put together a plan to move from PVCS to Harvest/AllFusion and I dont know much at all about the latter. Any help, information, or links would be appreciated. I have taken a look at www.cmcrossroads.com which is a CM BB but it is not moderated nearly half as well as unix.com so its hard to find information. My questions thus far:

1. Are these products one in the same?
2. Does one or the other support revision control of mainframe source code (COBOL)? Our code base is unix and mvs based.
3. Anyone care to share your experiences using them?

We were in the same boat (MVS + unix + Windows code) a while ago and rejected Harvest and alot of others.

We needed to be able to 'bring along' documentation, test results, and so on. And have the system integrate well with the change management process - push to test, reject back to development -all that sort of thing, all the while keeping associated particular code changes with each change request. We opted for Serena. Not free.

Well with my client, we are being mandated to use Harvest. Do you remember what it was about Harvest that wasnt so good? I am hearing a lot of commments from the development team about how the product is not a "developers" tool, but rather it is a "managers" tool. Not really sure what that means. Harvest seems overly complicated if you ask me.
