IBM DOORS vs Parasoft Development Testing Platform comparison

"It is a stable solution."

"The platform's traceability capabilities are invaluable. They provide a solid foundation for certification processes and manage requirement changes across project lifecycles."

"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."

"What I like about DOORS is baselines, it's easy and I use the capability of multiple users. The traceability or links between different levels are very nice. Additionally, it is used by all of our suppliers, which brings us commonality."

"Makes good work of prioritizing and planning product delivery."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is traceability. We can track every requirement, including what the stakeholder must do and component-level requirements."

"The most valuable feature is the management verification and login."

"The shell scripting is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"The most valuable feature is code coverage."

"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."

"They need to provide users with information on what options would be best for their setup."

"IBM DOORS should cover all engineering functions seamlessly, not just requirement engineering."

"It used to be very clunky."

"I would like to see them improve in agile management the Scrum/Kanban Board to work with overseas team members."

"The interface needs an area to be able to type your query and actually be able to find them."

"One thing that I would like to see is a lower-cost version of it that we could use for smaller projects. Sometimes, we do projects for commercial customers who would benefit from something like DOORS, but it's just so expensive. It's just a monster, so a lower-cost version would be the thing that we'd like to see."

"The software and GUI is very outdated."

"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."

"The solution's speed has room for improvement."

"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."

"IBM Rational DOORS is highly expensive."

"Pricing can vary depending on the size of the organization and how contracts are negotiated."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very affordable and ten being quite expensive."

"The licensing costs for the product are quite high."

"IBM DOORS is available at a reasonable price"

"It's expensive."

"We have to pay for a license. I think it's a one-time payment as my company hasn't notified me about more charges. I don't think it's expensive for large corporations, but it will be costly for an average person."

"I think it's expensive because you have to pay for the licenses to IBM and all that and maintain them."

"Costly."
