The requirements management tool to rule them all

ReqView has been a game changer for our small company. The ability to navigate, trace, and organise hundreds of requirements to create logical, traceable test plans has been essential to our business. ReqView lets us quickly, easily and, most importantly, robustly do what would have taken tens of spreadsheets to accomplish. The customer support has been second to none, making it such an easy tool to adopt, adapt and immediate add value to our daily workflow. Highly recommended for any business struggling with requirements management!

PROS

Easy to use, fully featured, Import/Export features, Multi-views, traceability, simple ontology, pre-built iso standard templates, awesome customer support, flexible customisable templates, linking with Neo4J, document organisation and structure, table views, logical file storage, easy transfer of files and collaboration using simple tools like Sharepoint, monolithic AND exploded file structures, export to reqif, standard files, copy and paste images directly, History, Instructions area, attachments, platform stability.

CONS

HTML coding (not my strong suit!) for templates, inability to 'undo', inflexibility with some aspects of the ISO templates (like renaming documents), linking can be a bit clunky until you get used to it, Indenting (and out-denting if thats a word) while keeping the structure can be tricky, Numbering and dotpointing in some fields can also be tricky,

Reasons for switching to ReqView

ReqView was fully featured, did everything we needed to without the steep learning curve.

Vendor Response

Hi Geoffrey, We truly appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear that ReqView has been a game changer for your company. We're also delighted to have played a part in streamlining your requirements management process.

Using Reqview to manage requirements of medical devices

On-line documentation covers a very broad panel of use and configuration topics. The documentation is very easy to read and understand and also very straightforward. The support via email or their support portal is very efficient and effective in solving our issues or helping with advanced topics.

PROS

We use Reqview to record specifications of our medical robotic devices, both for hardware requirements and software requirements, in the scope of the EN 62304, ISO 14971 and ISO 13485 standard of the medical device industry. We use Reqview to analyze risks and trace the mitigations up to specifications and test cases. We record and trace test cases specifications in Reqview using multiple document projects. Everything is stored as json files which allows us to store the source files in a GIT server. Reqview has very easy to use export features allowing us to export Reqview documents into EXCEL or DOCX files matching with our company formatting templates so they can be archived within the documentation folder of our medical devices for regulatory purposes. ReqView is a perfect tool to support and enforce our quality process.

CONS

When features are missing, we can ask the Reqview team and they show their roadmap and progress done with features we are interested in. We can vote for upcoming features as well.

Reasons for switching to ReqView

IBM Rational RequisiteWeb was complex and heavy to use or configure, and with a poor online support.

Vendor Response

Thank you for great feedback with more information about your regulatory compliance usecase!

PROS

The capability to make traceability between documents and projects in a very efficient way.

CONS

The most critical of the SW to me is the 'CNTRl+Z' command does not exist.

Vendor Response

Hi Albert, Thank you for your feedback. We are considering the development of an advanced undo feature that will be compatible with the real-time collaboration solution.

Probably the best user friendly alternative to IBM Doors (especially for small project)

I work for an Aerospace&Defence company. We're starting adopting ReqView (with some Pilot Projects) and the feedback is absolutely positive. I would recommend this tool to anybody looking for an easy but powerful tool for requirements management. I've used IBM Doors for years in my previous Company and the first impact was like coming back home, everythink looks familiar but less complex and far more accessible. Template creation for customizing your exported documents is tricky at the beginning, but once you master it you've endless opportunities. Nevertheless, the Wiki is complete and Customer Support is excellent. Absolutely recommended!

PROS

- Ease of use - Possibility to create documents according to desired template - Easy to deploy - Fast and light - Requirements Traceability easily achieved

CONS

- Document Versioning (baselining) could be improved - Please add Find and Replace and CTRL+Z!

Vendor Response

Dear Marco, Thank you for your positive review! We're thrilled to serve as your user-friendly alternative to IBM Doors. We're actively working on improving the document versioning feature and integrating Git. Enhancing Find & Replace is also considered in our Roadmap. Additionally, we plan to release the undo feature along with the real-time collaboration approach we want to implement.

A super effective tool for designers

As a company, we appreciate the look and feel of the ReqView software, that is very much accessible for people working in a creative technical environment. Installation and maintenance is simple and the cost is very reasonable. As responsible for the implementation I have received substantial support from the ReqView team. Quite some wishes have resulted in features in the software (linked object hoover-over preview f.e.). Needles to say that I feel taken serious by ReqViews development team and that I am grateful for this We are confident about its use in the future.

PROS

One of the main benefits of ReqView is that it focusses really on the content that I am interested in as a designer in a product development process. There is little administrative and procedural overhead (clutter) in the program as well as in the user interface. This enables to view/read information paragraphs-wise almost like in word processing software. Having all information linked is fantastic for traceability and relative new to us, solving a documentation issue that could not realistically be solved with simple Office SW like Excel, Word etc.. ReqView is so simple that my compete design team can manage it, which is a great benefit over alternatives. The learning curve is steep, but really short (excluding HTML-programming). A super feature is the export into Word or PDF resulting in a compact document in which all linkage is still functional! How happy would I be as a client receiving such project documentation! Fantastic! Besides, also digital signing now is an option, a future must have!

CONS

The HTML programming needed for custom reports is something that you need to master, but from that point it offers many nice options. The recent ReqView update includes a wizard helping in this, which enables to create simple reports in under 30 seconds. So actually part of this pain is eased. Procedural rules, the delegation of formal rights etc. is not part of the software. Though we benefit from this, I can imagine that stricter application (quality systems) could ask for such functionality. However, we don't miss that at the moment.

Reason for choosing ReqView

ReqViews user interface is much (!) less complicated, and design data is not in the cloud but local. Also the helpful team made us choose for ReqView.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the terrific review! It is nice to hear that you find ReqView excelling at simplicity and local data storage, comparing to alternative solutions. We are glad you like the new wizards and are looking forward to working together on the next ideas to make ReqView even better.
