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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Utilizing Codebeamer has helped my organization by saving time in our processes."
"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"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."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"The features related to metrics are very useful."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"Codebeamer is user-friendly"
"We increased our development and testing team velocity, were able to manage traceability, and deliver software faster."
"Wide range of adapters/connectors which allow connectivity to any tools."
 

Cons

"I find it very simple and easy to use, but there are several areas in need of improvement."
"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."
"There are thousands of requirements that are modified or which are reviewed; those reviews cannot be seen at one single point in time."
"The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"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."
"Needs an ​easier and less heavy UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonably priced and in accordance with the industry standards."
"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."
"Codebeamer is not a cheap solution."
