Re: Big companies using Subversion ?

At our company (a large financial institution) we narrowed the choice down to
three commercial vendors and SVN. After evaluating and piloting for over
three months we selected Accurev over SVN and Microsoft VS TFS. We still
have divisions using mainly ClearCase and some with SVN, but are slowly
migrating the projects that make sense (where it is necessary to manage many
releases in parallel or offshore and distributed teams for example) over to
Accurev as they get a window of opportunity. SVN can be a good enough
solution for some smaller projects, but it can get hairy when you have to
support multiple product versions in the field and find bugs down the road.
You also just don't get the same visibility over the process that Accurev
provides which benefits both management and developers alike. For us, it
just didn't make sense to allow SVN to spread and we believe the value we
get from commercial is well worth the cost.
