"Great tool for regulatory ALM with just a few quirks"

4.5/5

What do you like best about codebeamer?

This solution offers a lot in a single package. All the expected functionality is present in requirement management, manual test management, agile project management, and document management. Some areas go well beyond the usual and offer exceptionally rich functionality or ease of use. Such areas are e.g. reviews and the import features, which include excellent ReqIF support.

The system has been designed form ground up to fullfill the needs of regulated industries, with emphasis to issues like traceability, electronic signatures, audit log etc. Industry-specific templates are available and they can expedite on-boarding.

The user interface has a clear and fresh look. Even system administration is fairly straightforward, although in many cases, one has to revert to JSON editing. Everything can still be managed through the web interface.

The hosted environment has been very dependable with no performance issues, and support from Intland helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about codebeamer?

Exporting decent documents is not as easy as it could. Getting the Word templates correct takes a lot of trial and error, and options for conditional formatting and content are limited. This tool would benefit significantly from a good integrated reporting engine.

Some terminology choices are unfamiliar to casual users; not many have heard of "trackers" before.

The system relies very heavily on various templates, meaning also that there are very few options for global data configuration. You have to have our company-specific templates ready before creating new projects, or you end up duplicating configuration changes to several projects.

My client is using codebeamer X, and it shares its foundation with the more mature codebeamer. The user's guide of codebeamer X is written on a high-level only, and with many technical issues one has to revert back to the codebeamer user's guide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My client is developing medical devices, and codebeamer X is used to manage product requirements, risks, and tests (manual and automated through Jenkins). Further integrations are planned.

The realized benefit is that with codebeamer X they were able to replace three separate tools with just one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about codebeamer?

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.
