Cons
"During migrations from other platforms to CodeBeamer, there have been instances where we encountered issues that required redoing certain tasks.""It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved.""We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets.""The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved.""I would like to see more, easily trackable reports.""Usability needs to be improved.""It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now.""The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."

More Codebeamer Cons →

"Lacks ability to customize and reporting can be slow.""We have encountered issues with stability. We have seen where the entire system kind of goes for a toss when certain people use certain types of queries, which are very costly. Then the system kind of slows down a bit, and we have to monitor it.""Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans.""The solution is very heavily vendor dependent.""Some administrative tasks are difficult to perform. These could be simplified."
