More 3SL Cradle Pros →

"You can get full traceability with any other system. It also includes a test module, and you build the traceability matrix incrementally throughout the development process.""I like Jama Connect because it's easy to use and understand. The widgets are great, and linking is straightforward. The solution is not complex compared to its competitors.""Technical support answers fairly quickly compared to others like IBM or Atlassian. They also offer quite a good knowledge base for advanced cases and how to plan it, etc. via videos that they provide. They are quite useful.""Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements.""The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface.""It is good at requirements management and test management.""Jama Connect is a good tool for the entire software development cycle."

Cons
"3SL Cradle could be improved with better support for SysML functionalities."

More 3SL Cradle Cons →

"The initial setup could be better, it's complicated.""I think there's room for improvement, especially with the review process. Reviews should be integrated with requirement evaluation instead of being separate from it. The review should not run parallel to the requirement.""There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement.""I have inquired about pricing for this solution but have not yet heard anything, so their response time in this regard is something that should be improved.""Test management can be improved. It's not so scalable. The user interface needs to split things into small projects.""I believe one of the weak points is the reporting side. You must export inter-readable reports from Jama if you do not use the system as a repository for your design history file. Jama is great if you keep it in Jama, but reporting out requires some customization to get it right.""The user interface could be modernized and the product lacks project management functionalities.""t is rather slow, so the speed of the process and consuming information should be improved. It doesn't have a nice way of viewing information. We would like to see better interfaces for consuming information."
