Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"Traceability reporting is inbuilt and includes all your requirements.""We can track the status of test cases (passed or saved) in a single view. Based on releases and other attributes, we generate various reports and extract metrics from the data.""Good for managing stories, sprints, hydration and releases.""All of the features work together to provide a powerful holistic solution - from the dashboard all the way through to security.""Agile templates give us a standard methodology for every Agile project.

"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."

Cons
"The solution is very heavily vendor dependent.""Lacks ability to customize and reporting can be slow.""Some administrative tasks are difficult to perform. These could be simplified.""We have encountered issues with stability. We have seen where the entire system kind of goes for a toss when certain people use certain types of queries, which are very costly. Then the system kind of slows down a bit, and we have to monitor it.""Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans."
