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.

Flexible and stable with excellent technical support
I am the end user. I have a contract to provide testing for customers, however, ultimately the owner of the tool is the customer. For this reason, we're not direct customers. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I don't like to put 10 due to the fact that I'm sure that something can be improved. That said, if the customer gave me the option to select a product, I'd select SpiraTeam over other tools. The facilities of the tool are more or less the same as the facilities of the ALM or other tools that are in the market. However, the customer support from Inflectra makes you feel like they are working with you. That is the gap in the quality that other options lack. They fix any issue very quickly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable aspect is the integration with third-party tools, as we don't have to use different tools to start from the stakeholder requirements down to subsystems."
"One of the most valuable features of Codebeamer is its strong performance."
"Other benefits observed from using Codebeamer include its excellent release management and access management features."
"The biggest advantage of Codebeamer is its ability to directly use built-in project management modules without the need for extensive customization."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"Our clients are getting a huge dividend on codeBeamer, as it allowed them to reduce their admin load by roughly 35-40% and they also experienced a nearly 65-70% reduction regarding customization and the deployment load."
"The platform provided the flexibility to expand our business processes, accommodating or altering them to suit the requirements of a changing environment."
"The key features of Codebeamer include templates and basic structures, most of which are created and readily available for deployment out of the box, reducing deployment time."
"The support is even better than the tool. It's incredible. The technical support that they have wonderful."
"The initial setup is really very easy, and the documentation provided by the solution is some of the best documentation that I've seen in the last years, with tutorials, videos, and step-by-step instructions that cover basically all of the situations that you can see when you are installing."
"The solution is fast and very accessible."
"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."
 

Cons

"Codebeamer's UI is somewhat boring, while Jira's is more exciting and user-friendly."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One improvement could be to reduce the system or server requirements. For a client with a medium configuration server, Codebeamer did not work initially until the system was upgraded."
"The solution tends to eat up a budget."
"There should be more integration tools available. Although Codebeamer has a substantial amount of integration options with multiple tools, new technologies and software constantly emerge."
"I find it very simple and easy to use, but there are several areas in need of improvement."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"There are thousands of requirements that are modified or which are reviewed; those reviews cannot be seen at one single point in time."
"The pricing could be lower."
"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."
"They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Codebeamer is not a cheap solution."
"Pricing is good when compared to similar ALM solutions."
"They're not the most expensive product on the market, but they're not the cheapest either — I'd say codeBeamer ALM is moderately priced."
"It is reasonably priced and in accordance with the industry standards."
