"Good but room for improvement"

3.5/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

Easy to customise trackers (modules) with fields (attributes), item lifecycles (states) and references (links) to items in other trackers; plenty of flexibility in these options too. Comprehensive control and easy customisation of user permissions and item lifecycle transitions. Easily create & compare tracker baselines. Full item edit history tracking and ability to roll-back. Good export to Word & Excel using built-in or custom templates. Good import/export of ReqIF. Excellent for managing requirements & test information/data and linkage/traceability between these. Can easily handle project management data such as risk & task trackers, with linkage to technical trackers such as requirements etc. Easy UI access via web browser. Built-in document management system. Unique tracker and item URLs make it robust to change and easy to share information with other users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

UI could be improved; not very intuitive or flexible. Metric graphs could be more powerful/flexible. Tracker document and table views could be more customisable, seem not well thought through and are missing some basic features. Help material is written for expert users; more accessible training material would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is codebeamer solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for requirements and test management but may also use it for some aspects of project/task management and other business needs where comprehensive tracking of items is needed (e.g. risks, open issues etc.). Basically anywhere that you would normally turn to Excel to tabulate data that evolves over time and is shared across a team is probably a good use case for Codebeamer.

4/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

The flexability of the Tracker concept and the ability to import Microsoft documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the flexability comes complexity and how we initially organzed around using the product is not where we're at and not were we'll be in 6 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
