Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"At the same time, if you're working from the architect or the designing team you, it's quite easy to manage the resources online.""The tools for requirement capture we have found very useful.""IBM Rational ALM is a very good tool. I like the management and traceability features and the test management tool. The latter is not linked with the stories and fixed management. It is really useful, and we can create test plans. We can also test some metrics related to QA.""It's easy to use.""I would rate the stability of this product a nine out of ten.""You can customize the board according to your needs.""It is relatively easy to use and user-friendly once the setup is complete.""The integration with Git works well."

We do plan to increase usage ourselves.""The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost.""The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue.""The most valuable feature of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases."

Cons
"The solution can improve in the development area and the customized applications.""The directory designer manager is uncivil. The design manager is clearly really unstable.""The stability of this solution can be improved.""There is not enough beginner support material in the form of FAQs or simple training to help you get started.""One of the complaints from users is that they have to click buttons too many times for just a simple task. Changing this would lead to a better user experience.""I think nowadays people are getting into Jira and other tools. What is happening is, this solution is becoming more traditional, whereas Jira and other tools are more attractive for the new users to learn and start using because of the graphical interfaces.""Some improvements to the user interface (UI) would be helpful, such as exposing more services to make it easier to customize to the needs of each customer.""In the next release, we expect a traceability metrics configuration where we can configure the user stories. We also expect them to improve or simplify the query process."

"What I'm missing from the solution is a repository for the code. Something like Git, for example. Some sort of depository for the code that is embedded.""The pricing should be more competitive.""In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need.""It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
