What differentiates Jama Connect from other similar products?

Software like this is usually bloated and at times integrated with other key products that may not have a need for the company administering them. You can piece out Jama and use it to your organization' content. That is one thing that is key for us. The navigability is also important. You are not bottlenecked to use certain workflows. It's open ended and that is very important.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of use and customization. Without a doubt, there are a lot of "features" to this tool. Too much simplicity in these tools means not enough power. Jama, however, takes it to the next level of offering so much feature tightly woven into a product that does not seem big but it is. And we love that!

What do you dislike most about this product?

1. Some search and replace functions as well as other administrative level tools for high volume assets would be a plus. 2. Session tokens seem to either expire or die out so if you have multiple sessions opened, some changes won't apply sometimes or Save button get's locked out. 3. Sometimes some assets are locked when they should not be. This may be related to #2. It's also the nature of having a web SAAS but those are some kinks we've seen. 4. Better implementation of a "power tool" for querying searches across different mediums (such as requirements and test cases) etc

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

1. Assess your current organizations' needs and do some predictive analysis on all areas of your app design and consider what you need before jumping into any tool even this one. 2. Consider the volume you will have vs. what the cost of the tool is 3. Consider customization needs as well as needs for plugging in to other technologies such as ALM, Automation, Build Control, etc.

8 /10

What differentiates Jama Connect from other similar products?

Ease of use, good reporting functionality, great client service, traceability

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Traceability with requirements and testing widgets

What do you dislike most about this product?

The export feature to excel doesn’t always get the latest counts

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Definitely use it and integrate it with ALM Jira. The real time transfer of defect information to and from the tool is great. That way the client team can log defects in a tool only accessible to them and it’s available for the triage team on a different tool.
