"Rally is an excellent tool for tracking"
5/5

I love the way the items can be organized and tracked on Rally (initiatives, features, user stories, defects) which can be used for a full implementation of an agile process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rally Software?

The user interface has being changed very often but I don't feel it is moving to the right direction. For example, the navigation requires too many clicks to get to a specific item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CA Agile Central"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Rally Software?

There are dashboards that provide friendly and useful metrics at the team, program and portfolio levels which help get an easy and quick visual representation of what's going on. Story management made easier, It offers a quick way of quickly entering a number of user stories without losing the overview, by just typing the title and selecting a few attributes directly in the overview screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rally Software?

Workflow is fixed in CA Agile Central & can not be customized as per your team needs, which can be easily carried out in JIRA. Example: In CA Agile Central we have states “Defined”, “In progress”, “Completed” and “Accepted” and there is no way to change those names or add new states into it.

Burn down charts can be generated only with fixed attributes. So if your team is not burning hours or your team does not create tasks, you will not get to see burn down charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete tool for Agile Project Management from Epic till the task and reporting level."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Rally Software?

1. Great tool for Agile life cycle management.

2.. Successor and predecessor relationship can be made between the stories.

3. Easy to break up Epic to Features also user stories can be listed per feature.

4. From >Team Planning View all the user stories can be assigned into multiple iterations through out the release (PI).

5. Provides real time view of the team work and where the project is heading from >Team Status View

6. Report generation is the best feature which makes it easy to measure team work and their performance for Burn down, Burn up velocity, quality, defects etc.

7. Multiple teams and portfolios can be handled on a single portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rally Software?

1. Affording multiple license for a small enterprise is a bit challenging.

2. Have issues with UI while using it on Internet Explorer or Mozilla.

3. Creating test cases and reporting defects are a bit complicated, for which we normally use HP-ALM integrated with rally.

4. Features with similar or common names are difficult to search

5. Takes a while to get hands on but once you are set then its good to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rally"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Rally Software?

I am new to this scrum methodology and we use rally to track the effort in the team.

I have been able to track my efforts using the user stories and estimation based on the work i do on daily basis. This is very helpful and avoids micro managing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rally Software?

there is nothing much i dislike about it except for a fact that this software is web based and does not have an application for itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CA Agile "
3.5/5
What do you like best about Rally Software?

CA Agile has clear concise view for product features we are working.

It is easy to see how the feature is coming along and see your capacity of when the feature will be complete.

I also use it daily for scrum meetings. The iteration feature lets you view each developer and what they have in progress. Easy to tell if they are not focusing and finishing their tasks.

CA Agile also has a nice feature to split user stories across sprints.

It is good tool for planning sprints. You can enter the capacity for each developer for the sprint and assign them user stories appropriately.

CA Agile is also highly configurable you can set up dashboards and reports to how you work. You can create a dashboard for blocked task to focus immediately on blocke issues.

It is easy to create and edit features, user stories and defects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Rally Software?

I like CA Agile. I would say my dislike would be that sometimes when I am making a lot of changes it doesn't save quick enough and the system thinks their is a conflict with the changes.

CA Agile has a different user experience than Jira. Jira has more types of stories that you can build out for filtering and more custom reporting if you know the query language.

Not all reports can be exported from the system. I often try to tag items to track them for a release. The release reports don't have an export button. In order to share what is complete for an upcoming release, I have to copy paste into excel.
