Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"CodeBeamer provides full traceability, excellent collaboration, regulatory compliance, and instant reporting with its holistic approach from requirement management to testing."
"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"The platform provided the flexibility to expand our business processes, accommodating or altering them to suit the requirements of a changing environment."
"It is a stable solution."
"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
"The most valuable features are related to source code management. Using TFS for source code management and being able to branch and have multiple developers work on the same projects is valuable. We can also branch and merge code back together."
"Since it is a robust solution, I face no performance issues. Also, considering how well the implementation process of the solution was carried out, we never faced any issues while using the solution."
"I like the build management features and the integration with Jenkins and many other tools."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"I like its MTM (Microsoft Test Manager) section which gives us options to create various test plans and add test cases into it."
"Basically, the capacity to construct various products is something I find handy."
"This solution enables us to link all items usefully, in the way we use Agile."
"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."
"During migrations from other platforms to CodeBeamer, there have been instances where we encountered issues that required redoing certain tasks."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"We are also using Microsoft Teams. The two products function separately. There is not enough collaboration between Microsoft Teams and TFS."
"In the next release, I would like them to include integration for various projects, similar to what JIRA has, and they could create this feature on the dashboard."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
"TFS is scalable with different Microsoft tools for test management but it is not scalable with other third-party tools."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
"Currently, we are looking for a solution with which we can incorporate third-party development sites or third-party project teams into the system. Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system. A cloud-based solution would be better for us, and that's what we are looking for. Our biggest problem is the external connection, which, of course, is limited by our own IT. It would be good to have some kind of publishing service for this external connection. It might be there, and it might be that our IT is making it impossible for us. Its template editor could be easier to use. Currently, customizing the project templates according to your needs requires some work."
"TFS should allow more integration with different platforms."
"The reporting functionality is something that they should work on."
