The most valuable feature of codeBeamer is something called a Smart Requirement View. This feature really gives me an advantage and it's something that is available out-of-box. I haven't come across this particular feature in any other tool. Another feature that I like is its traceability. I can do almost 95% of the customizations without any programming knowledge. I don't need to hire a programmer to do customization. I took a look at the other tools, like IBM and PTC Integrity and Polarion — with those solutions, a lot of programming is required to do even small customizations. With codeBeamer ALM, customization is very straightforward. Smart View is a valuable feature because that particular view gives me the flexibility of how I should look at my project or how I should look at my work items. The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability. One more benefit that I am especially fond of is the ability to migrate from an on-premise server to the cloud, which was very smooth when I compared it to other tools. It just took a couple of hours for complete data migration. In contrast, my experience with PTC and IBM took quite a lot of time, and there was indeed a downtime there when we were migrating. With codeBeamer ALM, when we're migrating, there is almost zero downtime. There were just two minutes of downtime.
