"Full ALM solution for Automotive Software development and Requirements Management"

5/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

I introduced and used codeBeamer already in the second automotive startup company. codeBeamer provides a full ASPICE process capability out of the box. It supports the dynamic growth of your team while keeping you able to fulfill the automotive process requirements without too many manual tasks. It also saves you from the hassles that bigger, and older companies have with their complex mix of self-developed and commercial toolboxes to resemble a comparable ALM solution. And if there is a need for integration with external tools (e.g. customer ticket systems, CI/CD, SWQ tools) the REST API makes it easy to do.

An aspect often overlooked is the integration of SW code repositories. So full traceability from requirements, tasks, user stories to source code lines is there from the start without manual work and external scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

A first-time user is easily overwhelmed by the number of features included in codeBeamer. While I have no idea how to solve that, maybe a beginner/expert view mode would help in the onboarding process of new users by hiding the complex functions at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DOORS on steroids"

4/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

Great Project Management and Requirements Management system in a very responsive user interface.

Its open architecture provides 3rd party integration to Software Configuration Management systems, to other Requirements Management systems, to Test Automation (Jenkins) and Management systems.

Simple Microsoft Excel roundtrip (import/export), super helpful in discussions with local teams and small customer/supplier collaboration.

Fulfills ASPICE, provides out-of-the-box templates (e.g., Automotive, Functional Safety), and most of the features are customizable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

Filters and initial setup could feel overwhelming - luckily, the templates, help, and support make it easier.

It could be perceived as an overkill, from the perspective of a small team or a department just introduced to Application Lifecycle Management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering codebeamer:

Think of the time your team may be using different systems for activity tracking (DevOps, Jira, Excel, Kanban), different systems to show planning (Aha, Microsoft Project, manually edited Gantt charts), different tools to provide different information to a variety of audiences (PowerPoint, email, custom dashboard); then consider that Intland Codebeamer could blend that into a single system.

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

I am establishing a formal development process for an R&D team.

Codebeamer jump-started my effort, thanks to its ASPICE compliance and Functional Safety template. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Trying to make cB agile in a way that it will support company growth and growth of company processes"

4/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

traceability from initial requirements to test cases, branching (working sets), Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

the fact that you need to pay for everything, we want to use a support portal in cB, other tools are offering free licenses for customers and only agents needs to pay for using the portal. This would be then a proper ALM tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
