IBM DOORS vs PTC Integrity Requirements Connector comparison

"I like the user interface with regard to creating links between requirements and tracing links to requirements."

"The traceability matrix in DOORS improved our project outcomes. It helps ensure coverage of requirements at different levels, from user requirements to software requirements to test requirements."

"I really like the customization that can be done using the DOORS Extension Language (DXL)."

"IBM Rational DOORS keeps everything organized."

"Starting to use the solution is pretty straightforward. There isn't too much of a learning curve."

"This product can help improve how your organization proceeds through solution development."

"Very customizable and can be as powerful as you want it to be."

"When you install DOORS locally, you have the flexibility to do what you want with the solution. You can add functionality and do many things that you can't do with other tools or do well enough to satisfy your users' requirements."

"It is a stable solution...I rate the support a nine out of ten."

"IBM should integrate some solutions they already own toenhance the utility of the product further. Specifically import and export to Office products is more difficult than it needs to be."

"The customer must also have the tool to import the changes and accept them as a part of the review."

"The kind of dashboard is not very convenient."

"The low performance of the solution is probably because it is quite an old tool."

"They need to provide users with information on what options would be best for their setup."

"Complexity, performance, openness are the three areas that can be improved. The IBM architecture and specifically Jazz looks more complex. There are a lot of servers. It's quite complicated. The search capabilities lack in IBM Rational DOORS Classic for customers who have a database with a requirement of more than 25,000 records. For example, you can search easily for a module, but it's really difficult to look for keywords through the whole database because all the modules are separated into small components, which makes the search quite complex. This is something that's really annoying because when we want to make an impact analysis, we would like to analyze the product globally. It's quite difficult to manage. The fact that you can interact externally with data makes it complex. The approach is complex and doesn't work as expected. For example, when I tried to experiment with exporting some records, the tool crashed, but I couldn't find out the root cause, that is, whether it happened because of Rational Windows or lack of memory. It was just crashing. Logs weren't very clear. IBM can try to use more recent technology for different aspects and make it easy. They can also provide free integration from DOORS Classic to DOORS. Currently, all the customization in Excel is lost, which makes it very complex. It would be a feature to make new versions compatible with features in the past versions."

"The interface is not very user-friendly and has not evolved in a long time."

"Rational DOORS' most valuable feature is that you can write any kind of requirement you want."

"The training material for PTC Integrity should be made a little bit easier or more useful for the user."

"I think it's expensive because you have to pay for the licenses to IBM and all that and maintain them."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very affordable and ten being quite expensive."

"We have to pay for a license. I think it's a one-time payment as my company hasn't notified me about more charges. I don't think it's expensive for large corporations, but it will be costly for an average person."

"IBM DOORS is available at a reasonable price"

"I don't personally know what the numbers are. I just know that one of the reasons we've limited it to three seats is a function of cost."

"The licensing costs for the product are quite high."

"It is expensive to onboard additional users."

"I am not sure why it is so expensive, but one license will cost approximately $15,000 in US dollars."
