Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The linking of PI Objectives with different features was one of the cool things. It had features, epics, and stories out of the box."

More AgileCraft Pros →

"It's easy to use.""The word emulation and importing is good.""Everyone in a team can work on the same platform and share the same information.""It is relatively easy to use and user-friendly once the setup is complete.""The integration with Git works well.""The planning feature is rich with Scrum concepts: Sprint, Sprint retrospective, the rules in the Scrum framework.""You can customize the board according to your needs.""We have something called the GC (global configuration), which is a unique feature compared to any other competitor we have in the ALM space."

Cons
"It should just have the integration with Jira. We haven't looked at it since Atlassian bought the product."

More AgileCraft Cons →

"Of course it would be related to customer experience. The solution is not user friendly at all. It needs an expert to use it, although the reporting feature was okay.""There is not enough beginner support material in the form of FAQs or simple training to help you get started.""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.""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.""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.""The stability of IBM Rational ALM could be improved.""The interconnectivity between packages is a major support problem and can be improved."
