Good and professional support. Easy linking between requirements, library function, templates. Configuration diagram view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excel import is rigid, you can't do specific mapping to Excel content during import. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall flexibility of the tool has been critical to deploying our existing policies and procedures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the options available can be a bit overwhelming. However, this is the flip-side of the flexibility and the flexibility has been more important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First and foremost, the tool is useable by our engineers with minimal training, a stark contrast to our previous tool that was perceived too difficult. The UI is pretty easy to use and the concepts of workspaces and trackers allow structuring projects nicely. There is good traceability, even across different workspaces. The predefined configuration templates make sense and are nice to kick-start initial configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The licensing model lacks floating/shared licenses. In general, usage of tools like this fluctuates over the life of a project, and with multiple projects running, shared licenses would be helpful to get the right cost/value balance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The configurability of the tool. The traceability between modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could use some improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Traceability between the individual work items is a complex but necessary part of product development, which is managed efficiently within the codebeamer platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data entry through the platform could be improved, although I have yet to test the round-trip export functionality with Microsoft word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

codeBeamer is one of the best all-in-one solutions on the market. It is undoubtedly one of the most potent ALM systems, but at the same time, it has a good user experience and is very easy to configure. Along with task tracking, planning, requirements, risk management, version control & testing, it also comes with a workflow engine, document management & a wiki. All of this is a rare find. Additionally, with most other tools, you have to work hard for the tool, but this software works for you.

It has more useful features than any of the many competitor systems I came in contact with over the last decade.

This tool is not only useful for SW teams, but also for mechanical and systems engineering teams, which can all work in a more connected collaborative way.

codeBeamer works with a single database, which is a key reason it needs minimal administration efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the rather intuitive web-based GUI would get another improvement in the future to not require a double click to open trackers. You get used to it, but first time users don't expect this from SW in a browser.

Another thing is because of the many features, new users can be overwhelmed at first, but you can get them started in less than 30 minutes. Days of training like with some of the competing tools are not necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
