SHRINIVAS ALAGERI - PeerSpot reviewer
Architect at a media company with 10,001+ employees
Built-in project management modules simplify processes while compatibility improvements are needed
Codebeamer could improve its customization capabilities and integration options. For instance, older versions of PDM Windchill face compatibility issues with newer versions of Codebeamer, requiring users to downgrade Codebeamer to establish integration. The installation on Linux can be tricky, and backward compatibility needs enhancement. Also, Codebeamer struggles with some DevOps integrations and lacks AI features for enhanced user assistance.

Flexible and intuitive with easy reporting, and good support that is instantly available through chat
It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time. This is not an issue if you only have one bug tracker but we can potentially use different tools for different projects. As an example, if you connect PractiTest to Jira for one project, that's the one you have to use for all projects. We had a requirement to connect with Jira for one project, and a different tool for another, project but it was unable to accommodate that unfortunately. I would therefore like to see it easier to integrate with bug tracking tools at project level which would give each project the opportunity to use a different bug tracker if required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"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."
"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 traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"CodeBeamer provides full traceability, excellent collaboration, regulatory compliance, and instant reporting with its holistic approach from requirement management to testing."
"Utilizing Codebeamer has helped my organization by saving time in our processes."
"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."
"PractiTest gives us the opportunity to control the testing process efficiently and saves us a lot of time that we had to spend while using other tools."
"Technical support of PractiTest is awesome. They are always ready to help in any time zone, which makes them stand out from others."
"Helped organise the manual test cases so they were documented correctly, which was invaluable as it allowed for reviewing and improving of test scripts so they could be followed by a number of different people which helped with resourcing."
"Converting a couple of these test plans into PractiTest was amazing and made a world of difference."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"Since we started using this product, our organization's testing functionality has really improved."
"This is a good solution for a global transnational company."
"In addition, we found PractiTest very user-friendly and customizable."
 

Cons

"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"Codebeamer is not completely compatible with our internal network setup."
"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."
"There are thousands of requirements that are modified or which are reviewed; those reviews cannot be seen at one single point in time."
"The primary challenge is adapting the standard product to our workflows and specific needs."
"I find it very simple and easy to use, but there are several areas in need of improvement."
"The solution tends to eat up a budget."
"It does not offer server installation, only software as a service."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time."
"Needs to improve adding the ability to run tests multiple times and setting different parameters."
"Yes, there are times when server is very slow in response."
"PractiTest practically requires a lot of sandboxing, demos with their team, and online tutorials."
"There are some features that I would like added: an option to export a part of tests with steps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Codebeamer is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"Pricing is good when compared to similar ALM solutions."
"It is reasonably priced and in accordance with the industry standards."
"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
