Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements.""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.""Jama Connect is a good tool for the entire software development cycle.""I like Jama Connect because it's easy to use and understand. The widgets are great, and linking is straightforward. The solution is not complex compared to its competitors.""It is good at requirements management and test management.""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."

More Jama Connect Pros →

"We increased our development and testing team velocity, were able to manage traceability, and deliver software faster.""Wide range of adapters/connectors which allow connectivity to any tools."

Cons
"Test management can be improved. It's not so scalable. The user interface needs to split things into small projects.""The initial setup could be better, it's complicated.""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.""The user interface could be modernized and the product lacks project management functionalities.""There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement.""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.""I think there's room for improvement, especially with the review process. Reviews should be integrated with requirement evaluation instead of being separate from it. The review should not run parallel to the requirement.""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."

    Lasse Mikkonen, Principal Consultant at Contribyte, states that Jama Connect “Offers great templates and predefined settings and it has a very good inbuilt test management module”.

    Senior Program Manager Software at a manufacturing company, comments on Jama support, “I think the collaboration with Jama is pretty good, and they listen to us and do a lot of customizations for us to make it work better. Hopefully, it would have been the same with any other company. However, Jama provides essentially 24-hour support.”
