We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Inflectra SpiraTest has a lot of functionality, which is good.""The ability to reuse test cases already used across projects is the most valuable feature of this solution. We don't need to create new ones.""We were able to add a step-by-step procedure for someone to follow to assist in testing.""The features of this product most valuable to me were the test case management and the visual status, by which it was displayed.""I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it.""The user-friendly features are the most valuable. For example, migration of requirements and migration of test cases and the creation of traceability. You have various reports that you need. The plug-ins that are available to connect with the other tools.""The reporting functionality helps vendors and technical resources identify bugs and issues that need to be addressed. The simple dashboard-style home page makes training end-user testers simple and straightforward. The actual testing UI is VERY straightforward and very intuitive for the end-users that test the system since very often we pull from business and operational users to help test new systems."

"Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements.""It is good at requirements management and test management.""Jama Connect is a good tool for the entire software development cycle.""You can get full traceability with any other system. It also includes a test module, and you build the traceability matrix incrementally throughout the development process.""Technical support answers fairly quickly compared to others like IBM or Atlassian. They also offer quite a good knowledge base for advanced cases and how to plan it, etc. via videos that they provide. They are quite useful.""The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."

Cons
"Being able to add scripting for testing can and does save a lot of time. When you are able to just ‘run’ a test case rather than manually add it and run it.""The user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly.""Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive.""It should develop integration with JIRA. We have some complexities which caused us not to decide to integrate it with our JIRA, like synchronous data.""Migrating is not very easy. It depends on the organization, how efficient and effective the decision-making process is. The plug-ins should be easier and more integrated rather than the user trying to integrate the tools which are more popular, like Jira et al.""The UI for managing test cases, test sets, test runs could be a little more integrated, currently, these feel disjointed at times and confusing. Also, the test steps page needs to display the test steps closer to the top of the UI so as to not have to scroll down to find.""The folder organization in Inflectra SpiraTest could be better, though I cannot comment whether that is structure-related. Most of what I need would probably be in the tool, but as a test manager, I need to be able to create dashboards and reports easily."

More Inflectra SpiraTest Cons →

"t is rather slow, so the speed of the process and consuming information should be improved. It doesn't have a nice way of viewing information. We would like to see better interfaces for consuming information.""The initial setup could be better, it's complicated.""There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement.""I believe one of the weak points is the reporting side. You must export inter-readable reports from Jama if you do not use the system as a repository for your design history file. Jama is great if you keep it in Jama, but reporting out requires some customization to get it right.""I have inquired about pricing for this solution but have not yet heard anything, so their response time in this regard is something that should be improved.""Test management can be improved. It's not so scalable. The user interface needs to split things into small projects.""The user interface could be modernized and the product lacks project management functionalities."
