Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The linking of PI Objectives with different features was one of the cool things. It had features, epics, and stories out of the box."

More AgileCraft Pros →

"It is relatively easy to use and user-friendly once the setup is complete.""The cataloging is a very valuable feature. For a lot of enterprises, they end up not knowing which applications do specific features. The cataloging helps with this. It's not that verbose, but it still gives you allowances to put in more detail.""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.""The most valuable feature is the reporting of the CPU usage on the dashboard.""The word emulation and importing is good.""Everyone in a team can work on the same platform and share the same information.""The integration with Git works well.""I would rate the stability of this product a nine out of ten."

Cons
"It should just have the integration with Jira. We haven't looked at it since Atlassian bought the product."

More AgileCraft Cons →

"The product must be more user-friendly.""Some improvements to the user interface (UI) would be helpful, such as exposing more services to make it easier to customize to the needs of each customer.""The reporting functionality needs to be improved.""The GUI is a little bit outdated.""The directory designer manager is uncivil. The design manager is clearly really unstable.""The stability of this solution can be improved.""IBM Rational ALM should remove the features not used by the customers and keep this product as lightweight as possible.""The interconnectivity between packages is a major support problem and can be improved."
