Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Atlassian, Nutanix and others in Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites."The most valuable feature is the reporting of the CPU usage on the dashboard."
"At the same time, if you're working from the architect or the designing team you, it's quite easy to manage the resources online."

"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."

"IBM Rational ALM should remove the features not used by the customers and keep this product as lightweight as possible."
