The more I use Cradle the more impressed I become.

Performance, Web Access, Older looking, Proprietary Database, Difficult to integrate with other systems.

The customer service is excellent. Always available and willing to work with the customer to the needs.

The ability to perform analysis from source requirements through to verification steps and make edits in the same view is very powerful.

Actually I'm missing privileges to restrict link management (especially deleting a link).

Outstanding linkage and traceability features, nested views is a very powerful and simple method to carry out detailed traces.

The user interface is very accommodating and easy to use. Capability to collaborate with other tools very helpful and a top requirement when choosing the right tool.

I have been very impressed with Cradle, import and export of data is more robust and much more deterministic over my previous RM tool.

M extremely impressed with the tool. I even enjoy having the capability to work in a sandbox area for practice.

There seem to be some perfromance isues with large data bases, but I suspect this is due to scaling of our server, which really requires updating.

The quick customer support response. The good and efficient help page content.

Higher administrative effort if there are no preconfigured projects templates.

It can perfectly be adapted to any business model, process, allowing very specific customization (using an API for interface developments interacting with the tools database).

When making changes in requirements it is difficult to track other objects in the project they are concerned with.

When developing a large volume of requirements (a large project), it is very difficult to track their interrelation.

CRADLE is a very mature solution, pefectly suitable for large scale requirements engineering projects.

I have been using Jama for over one and half years. The good thing about JAMA is all the requirements are systematically placed in JAMA.

The major selling point was the ability to store and create your own field level data and we have taken advantage of that in spades. This alone has saved us hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Overall experience using Jama Connect has been really good. I would definitely recommend it to my colleagues.

Coming from Jira, it takes a little getting used to. Some of the basic configurations are hard to set up, but overall it gets the job done.

It is different than other document software so some people have a hard time learning it.

Good product but loading and navigation issues.

The text editor can be a little difficult for a first time user and can be made more intuitive. Filtering can be made more convenient to use.

I love how Jama tracks changes. When creating a document it is easier for multiple people to edit it at once than Word.

If you need a requirement management tool, look no further than Contour.

Collaborative medium; Collective decision making and decision records; Information archive & presentation; Ease of use.

A bit sluggish at times. If you do not have enterprise license then it will limit the number of users who can stay logged in together.

Tracks my requirements, helps collaborate with other engineers on requirements, the Jama Reviews and change process is easy to implement and use.

By typing any keyword, all the related requirements get listed below. I liked the requirement review facility in Jama.

Is amazing how well it performs. It's not a heavy application.

Jama Software®’s requirements management platform, Jama Connect ®, enables organizations to intelligently manage the development process by leveraging Live Traceability™ across best-of-breed tools to measurably improve outcomes, and minimize the risk of defects, rework, cost overruns, delays, and recalls. Our growing customer base spans the automotive, medical, semiconductor, aerospace & defense, industrial manufacturing, consumer electronics, financial services, and insurance industries. 

The #1 problem in product development is identifying risk early across siloed teams and tools. Only Jama Connect, the top-rated requirements management and traceability software, auto-detects development risk to reduce rework, delays, and cost overruns. 

Identify in real-time:

Poorly written requirements with recommended improvements
Missing, changed, or late requirements
Gaps in verification and validation test coverage
Changes made in one engineering discipline that impact others

Features of Jama Connect include impact analysis, test management, live traceability, compliance reporting, feedback, real-time collaboration, version comparison, and more. The solution allows users to store multiple projects in a centralized database, create requirement catalogs to reuse in upcoming products, capture current state/subset of projects as baselines, and compare two versions of a requirement to identify changes. Plus, managers can stream discussions to include new users or stakeholders in ongoing conversations and view all collaborators of an item on a unified platform.

Jama Connect comes with a review center, which enables businesses to share product requirements across multiple teams for review, capture feedback, add electronic signatures in reviews, negotiate on engineering responses, and more. It facilitates integration with several third-party task management, quality testing, and DevOps applications such as Jira, Bugzilla, Tricentis, Ansys, LDRA, Vector Software, and Jenkins, among others.
