"The platform provided the flexibility to expand our business processes, accommodating or altering them to suit the requirements of a changing environment."
"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."
"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."
"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"The Defect feature. In one view you can see all your defects and you can push them into the different releases."
"What I like most about Rally Software, in terms of using it for the agile process, is that it's clear, useful, and user-friendly. I also like that it has every field you can use for the Scrum process."
"The visibility it brings to the plan, the ability to capture tasks, and trace them all the way through the life cycle. Providing that visibility helps both me and the team, or teams, to be able to understand where we are in the development process."
"It's very user-friendly."
"It scales very well. It improves in technology constantly and gets up to speed with the latest and greatest."
"The product has excellent customizable reports."
"It documents stories in a way where we do not have to be heavy on front-end requirements, front-end documentation, and front-end workflows."
"We've actually used it for virtual PI planning. We have teams in different locations, and we actually virtually do PI planning, big-room planning, using the tools."

"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The search and replace feature within the tool itself could be improved."

"Usability needs to be improved."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"CA Agile Central does not have a workflow tool included."
"We did submit an enhancement request. I think a lot of teams that do very large scale products have the same issue. They just do not realize it would help them."
"I'd like the ability to customize reports without having to incur Professional Services, or having to write my own code GitHub and then implement that as a custom report. That's untenable. It's not sustainable."
"In terms of improvement, perhaps some more metrics. If they could add some additional, that would be cool."
"The product needs to have more integration capabilities."
"There are few customisation options. For instance, the workflow for story cards cannot be changed out of the box from the standard (Defined, In-Progress, Completed and Accepted)."
"There's a lot of support for Scrum and Agile, but it needs something for the Kanban side."
"We want Rally to generate OKRs, to allow teams to record the OKRs, and then the OKRs can be mapped to the epics and there is organizational alignment."
