IBM Rational DOORS Pros and Cons

This product can help improve how your organization proceeds through solution development.

It is very customizable and easy to scale.

I really like the customization that can be done using the DOORS Extension Language (DXL).

The most valuable feature for me is the ability to enter data into one table, or context, and link it across modules.

The program is very stable.

The solution is stable.

It has the features of: traceability, configuration management, and user access.

Traceability on requirements for a huge project in an organization is a big gain.

IBM should integrate some solutions they already own toenhance the utility of the product further. Specifically import and export to Office products is more difficult than it needs to be.

The interface is not very user-friendly and has not evolved in a long time.

There are problems with communicating between DOORS and Microsoft Office.

It would have been ok ten years ago, but we are used to having better tools now.

The kind of dashboard is not very convenient.

It's difficult to set the code on the solution.

It used to be very clunky.

I would like to see them improve in agile management the Scrum/Kanban Board to work with overseas team members.
