We currently use SOS 3.5 and I am trying to evaluate the benefits of
moving to either SOS 4.0 or Vault 2.0.
=20
It would be very beneficial if there were some sort of chart comparing
features of the two products. [Hint, hint...]
If someone might be willing to create a summary that would be very
helpful.
=20
In the meantime, I have been browsing through product documentation for
Vault (with which I am less familiar) and the new features and fixes in
SOS 4.0.
=20
One of the biggest problems I have is administration - I am constantly
forgetting the admin passwords to the various VSS databases we have
while trying to remember the steps to set up new databases etc. Another
issue we have is the cloggy IDE integration that VS.NET has with source
control in general. Finally, having cached login credentials is probably
the biggest feature of SOS 4.0 that interests me. We've never had any
corruption in VSS [knock on wood], so that is not a big issue to me.
=20
This leaves me with a few questions (although I'd still love to see that
feature comparison chart):
* Does Vault have the ability to cache login information so that users
are not prompted multiple times when opening large VS.NET solutions?
* Are there plans to eventually have integrated Windows Authentication
in either product?
* If I import, say, 10 different VSS databases into our Vault server, do
I setup different user accounts for each database (even when they are
the same user), or do I set up each user once and then configure which
users have permissions for which databases?
* Are there any other time-saving features that make VS.NET developers
more productive that exist in one product but not the other?
=20
Thanks!
