More Inflectra SpiraTeam Pros →

"Jama Connect is a good tool for the entire software development cycle.""Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements.""The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface.""Technical support answers fairly quickly compared to others like IBM or Atlassian. They also offer quite a good knowledge base for advanced cases and how to plan it, etc. via videos that they provide. They are quite useful.""You can get full traceability with any other system. It also includes a test module, and you build the traceability matrix incrementally throughout the development process.""It is good at requirements management and test management."

Cons
"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes.""They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options."

More Inflectra SpiraTeam Cons →

"The initial setup could be better, it's complicated.""I believe one of the weak points is the reporting side. You must export inter-readable reports from Jama if you do not use the system as a repository for your design history file. Jama is great if you keep it in Jama, but reporting out requires some customization to get it right.""The user interface could be modernized and the product lacks project management functionalities.""There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement.""t is rather slow, so the speed of the process and consuming information should be improved. It doesn't have a nice way of viewing information. We would like to see better interfaces for consuming information.""I have inquired about pricing for this solution but have not yet heard anything, so their response time in this regard is something that should be improved.""Test management can be improved. It's not so scalable. The user interface needs to split things into small projects."

    Senior Program Manager Software at a manufacturing company, comments on Jama support, “I think the collaboration with Jama is pretty good, and they listen to us and do a lot of customizations for us to make it work better. Hopefully, it would have been the same with any other company. However, Jama provides essentially 24-hour support.”
