Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Atlassian, Siemens and others in Application Requirements Management."It is a mature product that is stable."
"Traceability on requirements for a huge project in an organization is a big gain."
"Compared to other tools that I have used over the past 20 years, DOORS is the best of the best."
"Makes good work of prioritizing and planning product delivery."
"The data logs are ver conveneint."
"It is a stable solution."
"IBM Rational DOORS keeps everything organized."
"It's a very interesting tool. I like that it's simple. You have to create your document, add your templates, and have your headings and definitions, and it's done. You must attribute the discipline and fill out the comment field for requirements. It also provides you with unique IDs for each requirement. I like that it never duplicates IDs."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the support a nine out of ten."
"It would be helpful if Microsoft provided a more user-friendly interface for updating and querying updates. Additionally, if there was a way for users to notify developers of any changes in requirements, it would allow for faster and more efficient updates to the solution's architecture. This could be in the form of a notification system that alerts developers of any changes that need to be made. Additionally, the solution is document-driven and it should be more digital."
"It would have been ok ten years ago, but we are used to having better tools now."
"Complexity, performance, openness are the three areas that can be improved. The IBM architecture and specifically Jazz looks more complex. There are a lot of servers. It's quite complicated. The search capabilities lack in IBM Rational DOORS Classic for customers who have a database with a requirement of more than 25,000 records. For example, you can search easily for a module, but it's really difficult to look for keywords through the whole database because all the modules are separated into small components, which makes the search quite complex. This is something that's really annoying because when we want to make an impact analysis, we would like to analyze the product globally. It's quite difficult to manage. The fact that you can interact externally with data makes it complex. The approach is complex and doesn't work as expected. For example, when I tried to experiment with exporting some records, the tool crashed, but I couldn't find out the root cause, that is, whether it happened because of Rational Windows or lack of memory. It was just crashing. Logs weren't very clear. IBM can try to use more recent technology for different aspects and make it easy. They can also provide free integration from DOORS Classic to DOORS. Currently, all the customization in Excel is lost, which makes it very complex. It would be a feature to make new versions compatible with features in the past versions."
"There are problems with communicating between DOORS and Microsoft Office."
"The images are not clear. We have to use them as OLE objects. And in the testing part, I'm not sure how to link it with it. This is my main concern."
"They need to provide users with information on what options would be best for their setup."
"It used to be very clunky."
"It would be nice if it could be scaled-down so that it could be installed and implemented without much learning or training."
"The training material for PTC Integrity should be made a little bit easier or more useful for the user."
