Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Atlassian, Siemens and others in Application Requirements Management."I would say that the best feature of the solution is that since everything is in one place, and if you make any changes, then they are recorded or tracked."
"Very customizable and can be as powerful as you want it to be."
"Makes good work of prioritizing and planning product delivery."
"This product can help improve how your organization proceeds through solution development."
"It is a mature product that is stable."
"It is a stable solution."
"The shell scripting is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Rational DOORS is the full requirements development and testing."
"It is a stable solution...I rate the support a nine out of ten."
"Overall, the user experience should be enhanced."
"Complexity, performance, openness are the three areas that can be improved. The IBM architecture and specifically Jazz looks more complex. There are a lot of servers. It's quite complicated. The search capabilities lack in IBM Rational DOORS Classic for customers who have a database with a requirement of more than 25,000 records. For example, you can search easily for a module, but it's really difficult to look for keywords through the whole database because all the modules are separated into small components, which makes the search quite complex. This is something that's really annoying because when we want to make an impact analysis, we would like to analyze the product globally. It's quite difficult to manage. The fact that you can interact externally with data makes it complex. The approach is complex and doesn't work as expected. For example, when I tried to experiment with exporting some records, the tool crashed, but I couldn't find out the root cause, that is, whether it happened because of Rational Windows or lack of memory. It was just crashing. Logs weren't very clear. IBM can try to use more recent technology for different aspects and make it easy. They can also provide free integration from DOORS Classic to DOORS. Currently, all the customization in Excel is lost, which makes it very complex. It would be a feature to make new versions compatible with features in the past versions."
"IBM should integrate some solutions they already own toenhance the utility of the product further. Specifically import and export to Office products is more difficult than it needs to be."
"It could be more user-friendly. It's not a beautiful tool. The user interface is gray. It has only lists inside, and it's horrible when you want to add tables. It's tough to add tables and manage them. It also becomes difficult when you want to add images."
"The software and GUI is very outdated."
"It would be nice if it could be scaled-down so that it could be installed and implemented without much learning or training."
"There needs to be quicker access to tech support. When I have a two minute question that takes two minutes to answer, it shouldn't take me 45 minutes and/or a few days of callbacks to get to the right technical support person. It's unnecessary and frustrating for the user."
"The low performance of the solution is probably because it is quite an old tool."
"The training material for PTC Integrity should be made a little bit easier or more useful for the user."
