Covers a client's requirements well, excellent for replacing IBM DOORS and perfect for the manufacturing industry
Pros and Cons
- "The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
- "The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."
What is most valuable?
The solution often fits our client's requirements quite well.
The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China.
The solution is perfect for companies in the manufacturing industry. We, for example, use it in the car industry as well as pharmaceuticals.
Overall, it's a very good solution.
What needs improvement?
The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup.
The solution tends to eat up a budget.
The solution needs to be marketed better in China to give it more visibility.
The initial setup is complex.
The manuals and UI are all in English, which makes it difficult for some end-users as it causes a language barrier. There needs to be Chinese documentation and training materials.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for half a year now.
How are customer service and technical support?
My experience is largely in pre-sales, so I haven't really dealt with technical support.
However, I will say that documentation in Chinese would go a long way in helping users in terms of understanding the solution.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use Atlasia.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is not straightforward. In fact, it's quite complex.
What other advice do I have?
We're a reseller and a solution partner.
We generally give the clients the latest version of the solution. Often, we convert a user from IBM DOORS. If they need to replace DOORS I need to get an ALM requirement to them.
I'd recommend the solution. It's not an ideal solution for small companies or internet-based companies. However, it's perfect for industrial customers.
Overall, the solution is quite good and we've really liked it. I'd rate it eight out of ten.
