We have been using ReqSuite® RM daily for over three years across multiple development projects, including software, mechanical, and electronic engineering. From the very beginning, the onboarding phase proved invaluable, helping us understand the tool’s capabilities and its highly flexible configuration options.
ReqSuite® RM has become a trusted and user-friendly requirements management solution for our internal stakeholders. Its intuitive interface and ease of use have significantly contributed to user acceptance across various departments.
As administrators, we particularly appreciate the flexibility to tailor project layouts and customize the graphical user interface to meet specific project needs. During the initial implementation phase, OSSENO provided excellent support for installing ReqSuite on our own server and configuring templates to match our internal processes. Their update support continues to be outstanding, enabling us to manage updates independently with confidence.
Each new release brings valuable enhancements. The recent introduction of AI-based features and rule automation has further simplified our workflows and improved collaboration with users through intelligent assistance.
One of ReqSuite’s major advantages is its browser-based interface, which eliminates deployment hurdles and ensures seamless access across platforms. Integration with other tools is another strong point—we successfully use ReqSuite in conjunction with TestRail, Jira, Enterprise Architect, an OpenLDAP server, and even a second ReqSuite instance.
Technical issues are rare, but when they do occur, OSSENO’s customer support is consistently responsive and helpful. Additionally, the Osseno Learning Suite has been instrumental in helping our teams explore and master the tool’s extensive functionality.
Export capabilities are another highlight, allowing us to generate traceability matrices and customized Word and Excel templates to meet documentation requirements.
For internal training purposes, we’ve also benefited from complimentary access to the ReqSuite Cloud variant, which has supported our learning initiatives effectively.
In summary, ReqSuite® RM has proven to be a robust, adaptable, and well-supported solution that continues to evolve with our needs. We highly recommend it to organizations seeking a powerful and user-centric requirements management tool.
We tested some other RM-tools and ReqSuite was really outstanding: ReqSuite is easy to learn by the user. After only one hour (if it all) of teaching the UI of the software and another hour or two of teaching our customized configuration the users were able to start using the tool. After a few hours of learning by doing ReqSuite faded into the background and the users could concentrate on the content. Feedback of all our users was that then ReqSuite brings efficiency and transparency into requirements management. The initial setup of the configuration was done by the very supportive team of OSSENO after a number of workshops. For us administrators it was then easy to adapt the configuration. If we faced any problems we got immediately help from OSSENO. Especially for best practices their experience in systems engineering and requirements management from their past jobs was priceless. Very helpful to get started was that ReqSuite can be SAAS or installed on premise and that it comes with a JIRA-interface.
ReqSuite RM is a very powerful and flexible modeling tool that allows you to define all the artifacts that are used in defining the scope in project, and very importantly the relationships between them. This flexibility makes it very unrestricted in its uses. For example, you can go beyond modeling just requirements and use-cases by moving along the "chain" of artifacts in either direction, and add artifacts such as "project or program deliverables", that can then be linked to a "business case" or "business strategy" or "outcomes and benefits" artifact. At the other end of the chain you can add artifacts like "test case" or "test plans" or "test runs" that validate or verify the requirements. Much of this flexibility is down to ReqSuite's unique architecture that is based on a Hierarchical Structure (decomposition) rather than a time-based which is predominant with competitive software. This subtle difference is game changing because the focus is on "what you deliver" rather than "when you deliver it". This allows you to view and model projects differently from a deliverable perspective, so all the artifacts decompose from main project deliverable. Finally, ReqSuite's has advanced features like the AI supported intelligent assistance that takes the tool to a new level by raising the bar on the quality of the artifacts. For example, how a requirement is written by highlighting ambiguities, inconsistencies, commonalities between two artifacts, and other grey areas. This allows an organization to introduce a common approach within and across teams creating, reviewing and managing artifacts like requirements.
