Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Atlassian, Siemens and others in Application Requirements Management."3SL Cradle's most valuable feature is its flexibility in managing all your needs immediately."
"The program is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the management verification and login."
"I really like the customization that can be done using the DOORS Extension Language (DXL)."
"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."
"I like being able to sort and categorize the requirements and the exporting functions."
"Starting to use the solution is pretty straightforward. There isn't too much of a learning curve."
"Makes good work of prioritizing and planning product delivery."
"Very customizable and can be as powerful as you want it to be."
"3SL Cradle could be improved with better support for SysML functionalities."
"One thing that I would like to see is a lower-cost version of it that we could use for smaller projects. Sometimes, we do projects for commercial customers who would benefit from something like DOORS, but it's just so expensive. It's just a monster, so a lower-cost version would be the thing that we'd like to see."
"Rational DOORS' most valuable feature is that you can write any kind of requirement you want."
"The performance could be improved. It doesn't run as smoothly as it could."
"There needs to be quicker access to tech support. When I have a two minute question that takes two minutes to answer, it shouldn't take me 45 minutes and/or a few days of callbacks to get to the right technical support person. It's unnecessary and frustrating for the user."
"Overall, the user experience should be enhanced."
"The kind of dashboard is not very convenient."
"It would be nice if it could be scaled-down so that it could be installed and implemented without much learning or training."
"The low performance of the solution is probably because it is quite an old tool."
