Sr. Project Scheduler at a government with 10,001+ employees
Good reporting for team alignment although connectivity require updates
I would rate the IBM Engineering Workflow Management a seven or an eight. I am leaning closer to seven based on a couple of items I mentioned that I would like to see or know more about, such as improved reporting. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool provides traceability and reporting, which are important for compliance and measuring progress."
"The pricing is supposed to be competitive."
"The strong links between work-item tickets and change-sets have enabled simple reporting of changes to software, adding business value by reducing time-to-market."
"We can track the status of test cases (passed or saved) in a single view. Based on releases and other attributes, we generate various reports and extract metrics from the data."
"All of the features work together to provide a powerful holistic solution - from the dashboard all the way through to security."
"It’s not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"The best features of this solution are its task management capabilities and integration options, and IBM Engineering Workflow Management provides excellent flexibility and collaborative tools."
"E2E tool for SCM, features like customization of CR and IR flow is valuable."
"I especially value the complete traceability and ease of use with Microsoft Word."
 

Cons

"I would rate the IBM Engineering Workflow Management a seven or an eight. I am leaning closer to seven based on a couple of items I mentioned that I would like to see or know more about, such as improved reporting."
"RTC ignores in this case, that there are other tasks in other parallel iterations. This may cause a user to be overbooked."
"Look for guidelines and YouTube videos before starting to use RTC (too complex for new users)."
"Improved graphics in terms of metrics and connectivity to SharePoint from Microsoft products would be beneficial."
"We have encountered issues with stability. We have seen where the entire system kind of goes for a toss when certain people use certain types of queries, which are very costly. Then the system kind of slows down a bit, and we have to monitor it."
"There were issues, but they have been solved."
"It has improved our organization up to an extent, but it certainly has a lot of areas for improvement related to resource management."
"There is a lot of scope for improvement, namely: Loading of content as it is extremely slow. Customizing attributes like story points since it is not available."
"Only go with this solution if you are not pursuing Agile development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I've heard IBM Engineering Workflow Management is more expensive than other tools."
"It is not a free tool. We use a token-based licensing model, which is specific to IBM. The cost per token is around $115-$120."
"It's an expensive investment to make, so the decision should be driven on individual requirements."
"Licensing: The solution cost is high and should be brought down to increase competition."
