Featured Reviews

Rajesh Kumar Nayak - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at Festo AG
Effective project management and organization streamline task allocation
I feel that Codebeamer's workflow engine is working fine for me as of now, but there are better tools than Codebeamer available. Codebeamer is an old tool, and newer tools such as Jira offer a more appealing user interface. Codebeamer's UI is somewhat boring, while Jira's is more exciting and user-friendly. Other than the user interface, I would to see improvements in Codebeamer as it appears boring. The UI has been the same for a long time, and they haven't changed anything in that regard. It should be more colorful and interactive, and easier to navigate. When I initially used Jira before coming to this company, transitioning to Codebeamer felt challenging for someone unfamiliar with it. Compared to Jira, Codebeamer can be difficult for a layperson to understand.

Has improved project traceability and accelerated test case creation with strong AI assistance
As for improvements needed for Inflectra SpiraPlan, I don't know if there are much more to improve, but in the case of creating users when you want to create roles, there's a checkbox that gives access to the users. There should be one checkbox that can click everything at a time and then you can just uncheck the few ones that you don't need. Most times you want to check almost all the boxes and just leave a few, but then you have to check a lot of boxes one after the other. For someone who tries to work really smart, that impacts our time, so a single checkbox to select all would be great.
