Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Traceability reporting is inbuilt and includes all your requirements."
"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."
"It was an all-in-one solution for source code, integrated source control, defect tracking, and project planning."
"Work distribution among team members and accountability for completion with a clearer picture."
"The pricing is supposed to be competitive."
"Agile templates give us a standard methodology for every Agile project. Also, the ability to create our own object types and linkages to features/epics allows us to enhance the verification of feature readiness."
"There is a value in certain things like traceability, from high level requirements to low level requirements, to a test case, to a test plan, to a work item, to a change request, which is very essential to have for any OEM trying to not just create data, but also enable tracing."
"It’s not cheap, but it is worth the price."
"I especially value the complete traceability and ease of use with Microsoft Word."
 

Cons

"If you have multiple projects on one server, the tool becomes very slow, and some reports take longer to load."
"Some administrative tasks are difficult to perform. These could be simplified."
"Unfortunately, the solution is very heavily vendor dependent."
"There were issues, but they have been solved."
"Customer service is good but not excellent."
"RTC ignores in this case, that there are other tasks in other parallel iterations. This may cause a user to be overbooked."
"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."
"Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans."
"Only go with this solution if you are not pursuing Agile development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I've heard IBM Engineering Workflow Management is more expensive than other tools."
"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."
