"Work management software that has the flexibility to be configured for any company. It's stable, scalable, and offers responsive support."
"Powerful features including a good reporting capability."
"It has enabled us to keep track of features or projects. Previously, we used to manually keep track in Office. We now have a centralized repository for all the information."
"The way it interfaces with Bitbucket and other things like that is valuable. Reporting and being able to link various issues or stories together are also valuable. We call them stories, and they're general reports."
"I found it super useful, as it is customizable for different teams and users."
"It helps me to use virtual Scrum boards across four locations, three time zones, and to plan my work. It fully supports the Scrum approach, and the Agile way of working, and it has Agile thinking behind it.."

"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."
"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"There needs to be an easier way to capture a few metrics. I wish there was an easy way for Jira to explain to me what has been added after the sprint has been done. Currently, it is a bit difficult for me to tell. In addition, when rolling over stories from one sprint to another, it is kind of difficult for me to find out how many story points were actually rolled over without going into Jira and doing an analysis. I wish Jira would somehow aggregate that information for me so I can easily report about it."
"The part when it comes to the testing area is a bit hard to handle. The screen is too small, you can't really read what you're typing in, and it's only for the testing area. It looks like they have pressed in more than the UI system could handle to display it properly."
"There could be some improvements in the project management and portfolio level features."
"Lacks field-level permission in the cloud version."
"I would prefer it if the solution was more intuitive."
"We'd like to see Jira have more integration with a development ID."
