Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The word emulation and importing is good.""Everyone in a team can work on the same platform and share the same information.""The planning feature is rich with Scrum concepts: Sprint, Sprint retrospective, the rules in the Scrum framework.""IBM Rational ALM is a very good tool. I like the management and traceability features and the test management tool. The latter is not linked with the stories and fixed management. It is really useful, and we can create test plans. We can also test some metrics related to QA.""The integration with Git works well.""We have something called the GC (global configuration), which is a unique feature compared to any other competitor we have in the ALM space.""It's easy to use.""It helped us contain critical things, like source code and several documents, which is very important to us."

"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks.""We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client.""We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information.""The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project.""Complete traceability as per process requirements.""The solution is flexible in terms of customization. You can bend and reformat it in many ways. You can also customize the APIs and public functions.""PTC Integrity has good stability.""The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."

Cons
"I would like to see better reporting features. The out-of-box reporting is - I don't want to say limited - but the focus is on the Scrum and Sprint reports. We need more reporting features regarding the history of the work, tracking it more deeply.""The features should be more intuitive. If I'm looking for something, its location should be easy to locate.""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.""There is not enough beginner support material in the form of FAQs or simple training to help you get started.""The reporting functionality needs to be improved.""IBM Rational ALM should remove the features not used by the customers and keep this product as lightweight as possible.""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.""The interconnectivity between packages is a major support problem and can be improved."

More IBM Rational ALM Cons →

"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all.""It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer.""The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version. Administration and adding/removing fields, etc. cannot be done on the web version. People want solutions that are compatible with Android. I also want to have a version by which I can bulk edit all the fields.""For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility.""To be honest, the third controller system is kind of old. There are lots of transactional changes that have not been implemented in PTC. If you have a larger project, for example, whenever you give bits and need to change 10,000 files you can just commit them. But here the work style is a little more file based, so you'll have to take care of almost all the files individually. It's not a single commit like you do here, but rather you have to allocate time for each component or file that you want to check in or commit. That's a very big issue.""It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use.""I would like to see better integration from the architectural side.""There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
