SHRINIVAS ALAGERI - PeerSpot reviewer
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 ( /products/ptc-windchill-reviews ) 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.
DC
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

"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"Utilizing Codebeamer has helped my organization by saving time in our processes."
"CodeBeamer provides full traceability, excellent collaboration, regulatory compliance, and instant reporting with its holistic approach from requirement management to testing."
"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 solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
 

Cons

"During migrations from other platforms to CodeBeamer, there have been instances where we encountered issues that required redoing certain tasks."
"Codebeamer could improve its customization capabilities and integration options."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"Usability needs to be improved."
"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."
"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 primary challenge is adapting the standard product to our workflows and specific needs."
"Codebeamer is not completely compatible with our internal network setup."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different tracking tools."

"Pricing is good when compared to similar ALM solutions."
"It is reasonably priced and in accordance with the industry standards."
"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."
