DOORS Next has many features, but you can start from standard typical default template and add other features step by step when you will need them.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The price is rather too high for most client who started requirement management automation. Because you pay for many features, but you can't use most of them in begining. You should use only bacis features at start, but will pay for all features.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

DOORS Next is a powerfull tool with high price. You should know exactly what you want from requirement management and try it with DOORS Next before you buy it. If you just starting requirements management - start with cheaper and easy tool.
