Lined up understanding and focus of the team working on the project.

By structured approach keeps team on focused development path. This is the biggest strength. Allows to avoid misundestandings and serves a common discussion / collaborations online platform for dynamic team. Linking with other systems (such ticketing system) is great. Helps relate the requirements to actual development work. Also helps to have a messy discussion away from the requirements, yet still accessible if needed. Exporting, cloning, children, importing of requirements is great. Keep things lined up in solid tree / folder structure which can be customized to what is needed. The tree structure (folders) can be called to match the business nomenclature which was helpful for us. Filters and reports are great help to manage the project, gives instantaneous snapshot of requirements progress.

The editor is not that intuitive, but has many great features to manage requirements like cloning and children.

The overall experience has been very positive and product.

The ability to begin using the tool productively right away - and without a large expense up front. The pricing model enabled us to take advantage of RTM without passing the cost on to our customers. Response to support issues has been very fast.

The interface is basic (but has provided everything we have needed to manage the requirements for our initial project). Improvements are being made quickly (several new features have been added since we began using TraceCloud)

It was chosen for our team, so we use it. It gets the job done with respect to satisfying audit requirements, but the relative "pain" for the casual user means that we don't take as much advantage as we probably could.

Good for creating an auditable set of linkages from "customer story" through requirements to test artifacts.

Blows it on simple things. Every time I get logged out due to inactivity, the web client goes to a dead "Confirm form resubmission" page which doesn't actually work if you refresh. I have to manually reset the URL back to tracecloud.com or the login page. After login, I have to manually navigate back to the project I was using. Creating test records or other artifacts not always intuitive to the casual user.

Overall, for the price, this tool is a great one to have though it has some limitations. If you're looking for traceability and version management as your primary asks, then this is a go to tool for requirements management.

The traceability (Trace Tree feature) is what I like the most in this tool. Once you export the tracetree into an excel file, what you see is different heirarchy of requirements and test cases and reports neatly organised and is a visual treat.

The reporting feature needs customisation and client's documentation templates friendly

I have found Tracecloud to be a very simple tool to use, and effective at task management. It is a software that I would strongly consider when selecting a tool to manage large volume of tasks with large groups of people.

It is simple to setup, with great flexibility for user-defined roles and attributes. Tracing and change logs are accurate and easy to access. Organization of tasks is very structured and intuitive.

I would like to see more dashboard features, with presentations ranging from high-level to low-level for different users.

Satisfactory.

It is feature rich. It contains plenty of fields and information to be passed back and forth.

The search and advanced search functions are worse than MS-DOS 2.0 from 40 years ago.

This does help to solve construction management purposes. It records information for all parties involved.

I do like the record keeping of information for construction management and how it can be found for all of the document management purposes.

I wish there were better ways of reporting structure. Also finding a better way to use it as a method to store documents and view them easier. Its also a little buggy and could be modernized.

Provided the level of detail needed and support team was very helpful

Provided the Level of Requirements management needed at a reasonable price. Customer support was excellent.

Reports and exports where not complete and required importing the embedded drawing and documents (already in Tracecloud) into the final exported word document .

Before we started using TraceCloud we were doing all our traceability matrices by hand. It was ugly, but required in our industry. Having an automated traceability tool is a billion times better. It takes a while to get set up, but once you get going, maintaining traceability and generating reports is a breeze.

Automated method of creating requirements and traceability where the entire team can contribute and share the workload.

Templates were a little confusing when starting up.

Used to document detailed functional & non-functional requirements to inform electrical engineering & software design of a controlled & integrated solution for the Canberra Light Rail.

Ability to quickly populate database with different types of requirements & to relate them to each other with a many-to-many relationship. Ability to stratify & relate high to low level requirements.

Transferring from excel spreadsheets to TraceCloud

Traceability is the primary value from this software (among standards, user needs, requirements, risk controls, interface control documents, test protocols). Previously performed all tracing via Word and Excel tables which is very labor intensive, fragile and error prone.

The feature for connecting projects (=user defined database areas) facilitates organizing data in logical, manageable groups with appropriate user permissions. Even though separate areas still achieve full traceability between related requirements. Customizable attributes and folder views allows tailoring to suit our needs. Can merge database output with a Word document template when exporting data. This allows for database output directly into Word doc with custom company header and footer. Trial license allowed me to explore and become comfortable with tool before purchase. At point of purchase I was confident it would do the job. The interactive Trace Map view of trace relationships is very nice. You can follow it down a path and expand/contract the information as needed. Plus you can click on any requirement in the Trace Map and go directly to that requirement detail in the database. Exceptionally fast response from support team on questions. Often get a response within a few minutes.

User interface is not as polished or intuitive as some other requirements management tools that I've previously used. However, once you explore the tool and understand how it is organized and the functions, then not an issue. I think it helped to have used other relational databases before using TraceCloud. For example, nearly all filtering and selection of data is done via the "Report" function which essentially means via database queries, rather than vi a more interactive user interface. The reports can be saved and run again later, which is good. The on-line documentation and 'how to' videos do not match the current user interface. All the features and functions are there but are presented in the User Interface differently than in the documentation. Word template feature doesn't support .docx formats, so you have to remember to create Word templates as .doc (Word 97-2003 files).

TraceCloud has been overall a great tool for implementing practical Systems Engineering practices into the transit infrastructure industry which has not traditionally accepted practices such as requirements verification and validation, and interface management. The customer support has been very helpful as well, and we look forward to expanding this SW across our company's infrastructure business line.

TraceCloud enables civil engineering users without any SW development experience to easily develop a custom online environment. TraceCloud's flexibility (and customer support) is also extremely helpful for projects that span multiple years, transition through various phases and experience large volumes of user turnover.

The layouts could be optimized to reduce white space and condense information. SW developed for a web browser should be better customized to maximize usable space and adjust for various browser window configurations (half screen, full screen, etc.)

TraceCloud looks and feels like a product that is early in it development. It has a good core and the customer support is very responsive. The interface is mostly intuitive with a few features in places where you might not expect them. Once found through, they work work as expected.

Very flexible. Allows you to transition from a paper system to a true trace application without leaving your legacy methods behind. We were able to upload our Word and Excel document into tracecloud and create templates that draw the information from tracecloud in a format that is familiar to our users. This allows us to transition the organization in steps which has resulted in a higher acceptance rate. Also like the ability to do group changes (rather than individual changes to each requirement). This makes updates much easier.

Some quirks in importing and exporting Word and Excel files. Tracecloud has been responsive in addressing these quirks.

Overall, a good experience with very capable software. Emphasis should be on user training so they gain maximum benefits

It was easy and logical to use. It allows for good traceability. Reports were easy to use. Easy to acess via a number of devices

In the introduction phase it took a while for our team to get used to its features and how to explain to others.

We use TraceCloud for requirements management where we elicit the requirements and capture them in the tool. We also use the tool for capturing verification evidences. The tool is very useful and user friendly.

1)User friendly 2)Good support to understand the features 3)Immediate response to any queries 4)Very good customer support when new features are requested

There are some hidden features which we need to explore and and ind. Probably a tool manual/Guide describing all the features can help.

The ability to trace requirements is very useful to manage and control change especially for documents that impact a range of lolcations in the reqs library

Search and navigation could use some improvements Could use more versatile fields types and rich formatting of attributes
