Overview

SourceGear Vault is a centralized version control system that is designed to be a compelling replacement for Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS). It uses a client-server architecture and stores repositories in a Microsoft SQL Server database, ensuring atomic commits. It also includes integrated work item tracking features.

✨ Key Features

  • Centralized Version Control
  • Atomic Commits
  • Folder-level history
  • Work Item Tracking (Bugs, Features, Tasks)
  • IDE integration (Visual Studio)
  • VSS Import Tool

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Designed as a direct, pain-free replacement for VSS
  • Uses MS SQL Server for a robust, transactional backend
  • Tightly integrated work item tracking
  • Simple, familiar interface for users of centralized systems

Unique Value: A reliable, transaction-based centralized version control system that offers a seamless migration path for teams still using Microsoft Visual SourceSafe.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

Teams migrating from Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Development shops heavily invested in the Microsoft stack Projects requiring a simple, centralized version control model with integrated bug tracking

✅ Best For

  • Providing a more reliable and robust alternative to VSS for .NET development teams
  • Simple, integrated version control and work item tracking

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Distributed teams or open-source projects
  • Projects that require branching and merging flexibility
  • Non-Windows development environments

🏆 Alternatives

Subversion (SVN) Azure DevOps Server (TFVC) Git

Provides a much more robust and reliable backend (SQL Server) than VSS. Compared to SVN, it offers tightly integrated bug tracking. However, it lacks the flexibility, performance, and ecosystem of modern distributed systems like Git.
