Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface.""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.""Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements.""Jama Connect is a good tool for the entire software development cycle."

"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams.""The most valuable feature is code coverage."

Cons
"There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement.""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.""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.""Test management can be improved. It's not so scalable. The user interface needs to split things into small projects.""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.""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."

"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time.""The solution's speed has room for improvement."
