"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"It is a stable solution."
"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."

"One of the most valuable features of Codebeamer is its strong performance."
"The most valuable feature is managing software development."
"The configurable workflows and boards make it easy for us to execute and oversee our own unique process."
"It's very simple to change the workflow and adapt it. Jira is very user friendly for the agent and the user."
"Jira has a useful user interface and overall is easy to understand and learn."
"Internally we use Jira for our own implementations and capturing requirements and our customers are using the whole tool for the whole software development life cycle. They're using it for the full life cycle of the product."
"The ordinary user has an interface that is very clear."
"The most valuable feature is the feature of assigning. Whenever I have an issue, Jira doesn't stop at just letting me describe the issue. I can also assign the issue to a developer, and the developer gets notified about it. After he is able to work on it, he can update the status and revert back to me through the same platform. It really avoids a lot of communication over email and phone. This the feature that I really like about Jira. I always use Jira with my team."
"It is a stable solution, and we have had no issues with stability."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"During migrations from other platforms to CodeBeamer, there have been instances where we encountered issues that required redoing certain tasks."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"I don't know whether there is a Jira problem or a test risk problem, however, sometimes, we face issues on fetching the reports."
"I want the tool to integrate connectors."
"The release of a MailServer feature within Jira would be beneficial."
"The challenge which I frequently see from Jira is the label. When you search for a label sometimes, it suddenly disappears. If there's a mismatch due to all-caps or lower case, you won't be able to find it. It won't even come up as a recommendation or suggestion. That's something that can be really frustrating, as people create labels in their own specific ways and then no one else can find anything."
"I would like integrated requirements management, so we do not have to buy plug-ins for JIRA, since it was hard to get requirements management for it."
"Lacks field-level permission in the cloud version."
"Sometimes the solution doesn't communicate well with other platforms. It's quite difficult to integrate things and make the data flow from A to B, to Jira, and then back to other areas."
"One thing that I don't like about Jira is that when you do an export, it only allows a thousand issues. So the export feature needs to be better."
