"Best all in one tool I have used to manage most aspects of the ALM process"

5/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

I have now transitioned two major healthcare software development organizations to developing state of the art mobile and cloud based software platforms.

On both occasions we evaluated tools for ALM and decided to use CodeBeamer. CodeBeamer supports the necessary processes to develop medical system software in an agile manner.

In today’s economy, it is not only important to build and deploy secure and scalable software at great speeds. You must do so while maintaining compliance with industry specific regulations.

Processes and tools that enable us to accelerate delivery and maintain compliance, are key to delivering products in regulated markets.

I have used several ALM, requirements management and agile project management tools throughout my career. I have used JIRA, VersionOne, Rally, ScrumWorks, PTC Integrity, SharePoint/Project Portfolio Manger, IBM Rational Product, Team Foundation Server, QuickTest Pro, Quality Center, etc.

I have also evaluated several other ALM products prior to using code beamer. In my opinion, CodeBeamer is the best all-in-one tool that I have found for developing software in a process centric way.

Deploying the tool was really easy. Creating workflows and Kanbans with CodeBeamer are very intuitive. Creating complex associations between different type of objects is very easy to achieve and visualize. We were able to implement an entire SAFe compliant requirements stack and get up and running in a few weeks. The tractability functionality is great and a must-have if you are in a regulated environment (62304/82304/etc)

I love the document view for all trackers. I can export Word documents that follow the corporate style-guide from within CodeBeamer.

I like the ability to create custom plug-ins and widgets . It's a great approach to creating purpose built reports and view that are pertinent.

Importing data from other processes was also a breeze through the use of REST Apis.

Every time I show auditors what we can achieve with CodeBeamer's traceability features, their jaws drop. They immediately want to learn more.

All in all, CodeBeamer ALM is phenomenal product, and Intland is a great company to partner with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

Their reporting is very flexible. I would like Intland would work on reports that agregate burndowns across multiple trackers out of the box. Need to get burndown view across multiple teams and across multiple requirements levels to give an appropriate view of how much work is left across teams.

Work on integration with IDE tools (Visual Studio Code, etc) . Developers like to be able to manager their deliverables from within IDEs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering codebeamer:

I would recommend this product to anyone who needs the flexibility to develop a modern development environment. The product is fast and web based, and it is easy to integrate into a full DevOps environment.

As compared to other ALM tools, this product is Light Weight, and engineers seem to be able to adapt to it with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best for managing Technical Requirements , Adding Software Tasks, Test cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

The platform is somewhat difficult to use, especially for new users. There are too many mandatory fields to fill out when creating or updating items, such as Platform, Domain, Priority, and Spend Efforts. It requires a learning curve to understand what values are expected in each field. Additionally, users need guidance or documentation to better understand the purpose and use of different features within the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"it's very good"

4/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

I must say that what I like best about codebeamer is its comprehensive approach to application lifecycle management. It's great how it covers everything from requirements management to testing and quality assurance, all in one platform. It's also quite user-friendly and customizable, which makes it a joy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

I must say that my experience with codebeamer has been largely positive. However, like any other tool, it's not without its drawbacks. One thing that I find a bit challenging is the initial learning curve. It can be quite steep for beginners or those not familiar with similar tools. The interface, while robust and comprehensive, can be a bit overwhelming at first. Another aspect that could be improved is the customization. While codebeamer offers a lot of flexibility, it can be a bit complex to tailor it to specific project needs. But these are just minor issues in an otherwise great tool. Remember, no tool is perfect and what works best often depends on the specific needs and context of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One of the key benefits I've experienced is the improved communication and collaboration within the team. Codebeamer has made it easier to track and manage tasks, reducing the chances of any miscommunication or overlooked responsibilities. Another significant advantage is the traceability feature. It provides a clear overview of the development process, making it easier to identify any potential issues or bottlenecks. This has greatly improved the efficiency and quality of our work.

"Enormously configurable yet easy-to-use ALM tool, with validation packs and templates available"

4.5/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

Flexibility

Easy of use

Complete configurability

Strong import/export capabilities

Strong tracing and linkage capabilities

Validation packs for high-integrity systems (e.g. medical devices) availble

Templates available to quickly get started from scratch with development according to a standard or process

Good rich-text (WYSIWYG) editor, switchable to powerful mark-up language supporting things like Latex for equations.

Very powerful REST API Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

Interface can be slow until caches are built up

Review system could be better, missing simple features like scrolling through the list of requirements to see what comments have been added

Draw.io plug-in for the editor is an old version and is missing a lot of features, causing usability problems with diagrams.

PTC are still getting used to owning Codebeamer which causes a slow response for purchasing and licensing issues and tech support is patchy while they go through this transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We need an ALM tool capable of working with us (rather than against us) for a highly complex medical device development, across all disciplines from human factors to mechanical, electronics and software as well as risk. The thoroughly integrated and traceable approach, with a powerful and programmable export facility, allows us to achieve this very efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
