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

Cons
"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 search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved.""It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved.""The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required.""We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets.""The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."

More Codebeamer 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 initial setup could be better, it's complicated.""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.""There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement.""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.""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."
