Featured Reviews

Lasse Mikkonen - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Consultant at Contribyte
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 or Confluence. Additionally, there are areas where usability and configurability could be enhanced.
SHRINIVAS ALAGERI - PeerSpot reviewer
Architect at a media company with 10,001+ employees
Customization has enabled long-term document and requirement management for complex projects
PTC Integrity should get rid of the old thick client and move everything to the thin client. The thin client should be made the single source of truth, the way it is for Codebeamer. PTC Integrity should try to integrate this with AI and should have automatic requirement to test case mapping and other AI features that are in Codebeamer. It is not easy for people to migrate from one tool to another, even though it is from the same product. PTC took over the In-Link product, so if I have to migrate my Integrity to In-Link, why would I replicate everything here? People are happy with what they have. The only headache is the thick client, which is a problem for the installation team. By having a thin client, people can directly open it from the web browser and it would be much easier and much better than a thick client on the system. With a thick client, you have Java installation that needs to be done and you have all those certificates to be installed for SSL. With a thin client, it would be much better and you could do all the administrative things also in that. I don't understand why they want a thick client. They could replace it with a thin client, the way it is for Codebeamer. They should incorporate all the AI things. PTC Integrity should become another tool with all the new features and new enhancements, and they should eliminate the thick client altogether.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The relationship mapping feature is especially helpful, as it allows us to connect different requirements and compliance-related documentation."
"The impact that Jama Connect provides for my company overall is significant as it saves a huge amount of time."
"We use Jama Connect mainly for requirements management."
"The user experience is better than the competition."
"Provides suitable tools for managing regulatory requirements."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn."
"The most valuable feature relates to traceability, we have complete traceability as per process requirements."
"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."
"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"I have found that previously, the OEM sector was managing everything, possibly manually. However, with the introduction of the product, it has become much easier for customers to handle their products. Previously, customers were using different software to manage their products. However, PTC Integrity offers a solution for requirements management, test management, and even development to support live ticket management. So instead of using multiple software tools, we can use it for all these purposes."
 

Cons

"The initial setup could be better, it's complicated."
"I think Jama Connect's change management feature is not well developed at this stage, as it lacks many steps for marks, building IDs, and the usual functionalities such as comparing past changes and generating reports automatically."
"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 a few areas where Jama Connect can improve. One suggestion is to enhance the built-in feature of profile generation."
"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 text and diagram handling in Jama Connect could be improved."
"More automation could speed up workflows, flag errors more timely, and eliminate manual steps."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"I am writing this review because I don't think there's a fair portrayal online of how cumbersome the GUI is, and how difficult the software is to use."
"It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use."
"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version."
"Scalability is a little difficult because the product gets slower as it's scaled."
"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."
"You can use it for things from the previous decade. After 2010, whatever you want to do in terms of programming is very unusable."
"Usability, and the human factor, and if they improve this then i would rate this 10/10."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost seems very competitive with other offerings."
"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."
"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 product is expensive."
