Test Manager at a engineering company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Intuitive enough and easy to learn, but in terms of folder organization, it could be better
Inflectra SpiraTest is the new kid on the block compared to Jira and Azure. Still, when I started exploring the tool, I realized that it was no different from other tools I've used in the past, but it all boils down to adaptability because the features would always be more or less the same. I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it.
Juergen Albrecht - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director at CCC Systems Engineering Suisse GmbH
Has required better change management and easier tool integration but supports certification needs and strong collaboration
The visualization tools are nearly similar, so it does not matter if you use DNG or even Jama Connect, but at Jama Connect, the selection and setup for running complex scripts is very powerful and fast compared to IBM, which is sometimes very slow due to the complex software which has lost focus on usability. The collaboration capabilities of Jama Connect are fantastic, and when comparing IBM, PTC, and Jama Connect, they are nearly equal because all three have recognized the importance of collaboration in today's work environment. The feature that I really appreciate about Jama Connect is its allowance for certifications through the FAA and FDA organizations in the US, which in the past was not possible for smaller companies because larger ones, such as Boeing and Airbus, often advised against using unapproved tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Senior management cares about where we are. They don’t have time to look at a lot of data. SpiraTest provided good visibility at a high level looking at where things were."
"The ability to reuse test cases already used across projects is the most valuable feature of this solution. We don't need to create new ones."
"Over time and further upgrades these have improved."
"Indent/outdent functionality, because it makes it easier to relocate the test cases under any folder (all-in-one) at the same time."
"SpiraTest makes managing our testing scripts easy since many of our systems are interconnected we can retest existing systems to ensure that new applications and updates will not break the system."
"Our organization has become more efficient in our everyday test case documentation and in the execution of both manual and automated testing, which in turn raises the quality of both our work and products."
"If you are looking for a fully featured test management tool (or going further, an ALM solution) either in house or SAAS and are looking for the best bang for buck then I can recommend SpiraTest without a shadow of a doubt."
"It's a good product with an exceptionally low cost."
"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."
"Jama helped our employees, mostly software engineers, to be more aware of where the requirements are and how to determine them, making the visibility more clear so we can better fulfill international standards in our line of work."
"Support has been excellent - an advantage of working with a somewhat smaller vendor interested in making users successful."
"The impact that Jama Connect provides for my company overall is significant as it saves a huge amount of time."
"The most valuable feature is the single identity provider capability, which simplifies the integration with various platforms, like Google App Store and Microsoft Azure, for providing user access."
"I can say that we enjoy Jama Connect."
"The user experience is better than the competition."
"Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements."
 

Cons

"There have been sporadic DB errors related to performance."
"Currently, I am waiting for a major improvement when it comes to sharing all artifacts across projects, this is something the Inflectra team is working on."
"Being able to add scripting for testing can and does save a lot of time. When you are able to just ‘run’ a test case rather than manually add it and run it."
"Areas of improvement are all minor things to streamline the process of setting up a release."
"I was not that impressed with the test case creation, but it did give good metrics of number of completion, not completed, on hold or defects."
"Two areas that can stand improvement: integration with third party products and making it more intuitive."
"Requirement/test case baseline functionality would be a great feature to add."
"One of the main issues encountered was around scalability."
"The text and diagram handling in Jama Connect could be improved."
"We did have some issues of scalability issues early on. I believe we pushed the envelope on numbers of test cases, and did suffer some performance issues, and outages in effect."
"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."
"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."
"There are some security concerns with Jama Connect, including two-factor enablement."
"The user interface could be modernized and the product lacks project management functionalities."
"More automation could speed up workflows, flag errors more timely, and eliminate manual steps."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I Googled the pricing for Inflectra SpiraTest, and it's about $4,000 annually."
"The pricing was excellent. I would recommend the enterprise solution."
"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."
"Jama Connect is a little pricy."
"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."
"The cost seems very competitive with other offerings."
