Featured Reviews

JA
Flexible and stable with excellent technical support
I am the end user. I have a contract to provide testing for customers, however, ultimately the owner of the tool is the customer. For this reason, we're not direct customers. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I don't like to put 10 due to the fact that I'm sure that something can be improved. That said, if the customer gave me the option to select a product, I'd select SpiraTeam over other tools. The facilities of the tool are more or less the same as the facilities of the ALM or other tools that are in the market. However, the customer support from Inflectra makes you feel like they are working with you. That is the gap in the quality that other options lack. They fix any issue very quickly.
Lasse Mikkonen - PeerSpot reviewer
Traceability has improved documentation for auditors and regulators
The collaboration feature in Jama Connect could be improved because it is only used by a limited number of people within an organization due to license costs. For broader collaboration that includes departments like marketing and engineering, many still rely on tools like Slack ( /products/slack-reviews ) or Confluence ( /products/atlassian-confluence-reviews ). Additionally, there are areas where usability and configurability could be enhanced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is fast and very accessible."
"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"In Jama Connect, users have the capability to view and manage all test cases directly within the platform and execute them. The entire product specification, spanning various domains such as electrical, mechanical, software, and testing, is consolidated within Jama Connect."
"Jama Connect is a good tool for the entire software development cycle."
"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."
"The relationship mapping feature is especially helpful, as it allows us to connect different requirements and compliance-related documentation."
"Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements."
"We use Jama Connect mainly for requirements management."
"Traceability is a key differentiator for Jama Connect, especially compared to Jira."
 

Cons

"They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options."
"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."
"I think there's room for improvement, especially with the review process. Reviews should be integrated with requirement evaluation instead of being separate from it. The review should not run parallel to the requirement."
"The solution is very software-centric, and its validation piece is not time-efficient at all."
"The collaboration feature in Jama Connect could be improved because it is only used by a limited number of people within an organization due to license costs."
"There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement."
"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."
"Test management can be improved. It's not so scalable. The user interface needs to split things into small projects."
"The solution is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"To have a single source for all the requirements and all the change requests our company gets is the most valuable feature. It has also helped us to keep track of reviews."
"Jama Connect is a little pricy."
"If you want to have creative licenses, pricing may be an issue with the licenses, as it can become quite expensive over time to serve many people."
"The cost seems very competitive with other offerings."
