Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple.""The solution is fast and very accessible."

More Inflectra SpiraTeam Pros →

"It's designed around Agile, so it has all of the pieces that match up with the process.""It drives the conversation behind some of the pain points the teams have, based on the data that we're able to pull out of the system. As a result of that, we're able to make better decisions, to become better as a whole.""I was able to create epics for our budgeting concerns and it helped me link everything together.""Having that view into features and roadmap from product to delivery teams, and where they are going, then execute on.""​It is very stable. It has been on the market a long time.""Gives me a dashboard where I can see what things are not being worked on, what things are blocked.""It documents stories in a way where we do not have to be heavy on front-end requirements, front-end documentation, and front-end workflows.""The visibility it brings to the plan, the ability to capture tasks, and trace them all the way through the life cycle. Providing that visibility helps both me and the team, or teams, to be able to understand where we are in the development process."

Cons
"They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options.""It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."

More Inflectra SpiraTeam Cons →

"We'd like better dashboards to make visibility better.""The product needs to have more integration capabilities.""I would like to see more Kanban support. As it stands, it doesn't seem to have the features or the layouts that the teams really need to be able to execute their tasks. It almost tries to force you into more of a Scrum style.""I think there is a missing link with the development activity. Some developers are pushing in new versions of the code, but you cannot make the link from the user story to a specific application version.""As it is right now, it does not support automation of the quality assurance process. It just supports manual testing.""I'd like the ability to customize reports without having to incur Professional Services, or having to write my own code GitHub and then implement that as a custom report. That's untenable. It's not sustainable.""I think there needs to be some simplification. The team-level side can be challenging and complicated.""One problem I see is that if there is a dependent user story - for example, if my team is working on one thing and there is a dependent user story from another team - we can have a dependency created but we don't know if there is a change of status from the other team. That is something which is very important for Agile Central to look into so that if the other team makes any changes we will be notified as well."

    Top Answer:Rally Software costs $50 a month, and for a base account, that price is acceptable.
    Top Answer:It is hard to track the changes. For example, we're in sprint 25, and then we have 26, 27, 28, and 29. Throughout that whole time, we're developing pipelines in Azure, moving to GitHub, creating… more »
