Codebeamer provides a highly flexible tool to take control of the full lifecycle of product development. It enables small/medium companies to get away from a mish-mash of tools, spreadsheets and ad-hoc issue management and centralize development. It provides coherent workspaces to track development stages from end-user requirements, through development and onto end-of-line production tracking. Customisable reporting and dashboards are an integral part of the tool - this provides a mechanism for stakeholders to get a concise overview of the current state of a product. Codebeamer provides useful templates to get started quickly and importing exporting data from existing spreadsheets works well. Codebeamer themselves are responsive to reported issues and keen to assist people in the effective use of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you start customising the workflows and workspaces; there is a significant learning curve to be able to find and connect pieces of the system in the way you'd like to. Visual tools are available for some of this customisation; however editing json is still required to connect external CI results (for example). As a tool, Codebeamer appears to have favoured providing breadth of lifecycle coverage over depth and UI slickness in areas, the menu organisation seems clunky in places - although the UI continues to be improved on a regular basis.

Test management is test set creation, and test run status is not convenient Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Extendability: Ability to add custom workflow actions and Plugins that do not interfere with the system negatively, but extend its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The UI/UX needs an update - They are working on it with codeBeamerX

- With its many features, it might be overwhelming at first. Good training is neccessary to make the tool successfull. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
