Pros
"How you write your user stories, and the requirements gathering, in Agile Manager is pretty good."

More Agile Manager [EOL] Pros →

"IBM Rational ALM is a very good tool. I like the management and traceability features and the test management tool. The latter is not linked with the stories and fixed management. It is really useful, and we can create test plans. We can also test some metrics related to QA.""You can customize the board according to your needs.""The planning feature is rich with Scrum concepts: Sprint, Sprint retrospective, the rules in the Scrum framework.""It's easy to use.""We have something called the GC (global configuration), which is a unique feature compared to any other competitor we have in the ALM space.""It is relatively easy to use and user-friendly once the setup is complete.""The solution is customizable.""The most valuable feature is the reporting of the CPU usage on the dashboard."

Cons
"The testing module that we are used to, that wasn't there at all."

More Agile Manager [EOL] Cons →

"One of the complaints from users is that they have to click buttons too many times for just a simple task. Changing this would lead to a better user experience.""Of course it would be related to customer experience. The solution is not user friendly at all. It needs an expert to use it, although the reporting feature was okay.""The reporting functionality needs to be improved.""The product must be more user-friendly.""I think nowadays people are getting into Jira and other tools. What is happening is, this solution is becoming more traditional, whereas Jira and other tools are more attractive for the new users to learn and start using because of the graphical interfaces.""The stability of this solution can be improved.""The features should be more intuitive. If I'm looking for something, its location should be easy to locate.""The directory designer manager is uncivil. The design manager is clearly really unstable."
