Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. It helped us contain critical things, like source code and several documents, which is very important to us. It is relatively easy to use and user-friendly once the setup is complete. The cataloging is a very valuable feature. For a lot of enterprises, they end up not knowing which applications do specific features. The cataloging helps with this. It's not that verbose, but it still gives you allowances to put in more detail. The planning feature is rich with Scrum concepts: Sprint, Sprint retrospective, the rules in the Scrum framework. | The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project. The tool is quite structured and has a good command set. Complete traceability as per process requirements. 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. |
Cons | |
The stability of this solution can be improved. The directory designer manager is uncivil. The design manager is clearly really unstable. Of course it would be related to customer experience. The solution is not user friendly at all. It needs an expert to use it, although the reporting feature was okay. There is not enough beginner support material in the form of FAQs or simple training to help you get started. The features should be more intuitive. If I'm looking for something, its location should be easy to locate. 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. | We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all. 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. It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer. 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. |
