More Agile Manager [EOL] Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface.""Jama Connect is a good tool for the entire software development cycle.""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.""It is good at requirements management and test management.""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."

Cons
"The testing module that we are used to, that wasn't there at all."

More Agile Manager [EOL] Cons →

"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.""The user interface could be modernized and the product lacks project management functionalities.""Test management can be improved. It's not so scalable. The user interface needs to split things into small projects.""There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement.""The initial setup could be better, it's complicated.""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.""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."
