What do you dislike about the product?
The explorer who is responsible for making a coverage of elements is limited to a maximum number of them, which should be something unlimited, and have a total coverage of all the elements that need to be analyzed, I do not see why have a limit in this field, is something unnecessary, something that I do not like about this application is the generation of reports, these when you see them inside the application, they look very good, but when you download them and open them with other programs on the computer, it becomes a Chaos, and everything seems to be messy, is something that should be improved as soon as possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this application build a working group that is responsible for developing a follow-up to the different products of our company, which provides us with clear reports, defects and failures, in which we may be falling, without realizing, we also take care of to analyze new products of the market, and see the positive or negative impact they can have within our company, and the advantages we can have with them, in front of our competitors.

Newbie
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility to mould Jama to work with different project needs. Has become a wiki for us too.
The structure aligns with our need to export to Word for wider review and distribution

What do you dislike about the product?
The limited functionality of Word mail merge. It's a shame reporting/documents that add real value need a different skill set.
When selecting a tag to view related items, the folder structure is lost. This is a shame as it would enable us to export a subset of data but keep the headings (folders) in any document

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traceability from business case and benefits through multiple levels of requirement definition through to testing.
It takes a bit of learning to fully get benefits from the filters and mail merge functionality but it is working for what we need it to do.

Using Jama Connect has provided the ability to perform detailed impact assessments from a single source, expediting the process and reducing the mistakes made between disparate data sources.

We needed to bring our requirements management, defect management, and test management processes into a single tool in order to ensure impact and relational context was easily viewed.
Product requirements with Jama
What do you like best about the product?
Jama made creating product requirements simple. When you have a complex product and you need to work collaboratively with the team, you have one place to do it, virtually accessible from anywhere. It starts with a project and then you have a nice and friendly User Interface to add more: marketing/automotive/functional/business/high level requirements, all kinds of notes and many more, each of them with predefined template.
What do you dislike about the product?
As an admin of Jama Connect I am responsible with permissions also. The integration we have is with our local Active Directory but adding people from AD to Jama has to be one by one, there is no way in the current setup to go by user groups and make my life easier.
Our requirements for reporting (in any tool for that matter) are more complex than Jama can offer.
The cost of the tool is per user and we find it incovenient some time to manage the inactive users, just to make room for the new.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Jama Connect in our marketing department where they need a tool to help them build product requirements. They need collaboration, reviews, approvals on each individual item. Jama Connect seemed to be a good match and that was the reason why we selected it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for Jama Connect when you have a budget to spend and need a complex tool for managing non technical project requirements. You will get a nice user experience, an easy to use tool.
Jama - Mordern Requirements Management solution
What do you like best about the product?
Captures requirements efficiently, pretty good requirements traceability options, baseline requirements easily, different views available, AGile ready, version tracking, test cases development, detailed workflows for estimation and manage project schedule.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jama-JIRA connector was failing at times, training, FAQ material seems outdated, admins do not have enough permissions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used it to capture requirements and managed testing. The container model for managing requirements is both easy to understand and to use. You can track the requirements through different phases, backwards and forwards as well as dependencies across requirements.FAQs and user guide could have been more exhaustive. Will surely use Jama in my future projects.
Business Analyst using Jama for requirements in small IT company
What do you like best about the product?
After years of producing requirements in Word documents using track changes and versioning, there are several features of Jama that I really appreciate. My favorite feature, however, would have to be the review center. It is a nice, efficient way to share requirements, receive feedback, and compare versions of requirements. Everyone can participate in the review process and communicate with each other in an effort to finalize requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had to search for something I felt strongly enough about to say I disliked it.... But I would say the rich text functionality seems a little limited and the use of tables within a rich text field is somewhat awkward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are capturing our business requirements for a new product, and we are very pleased with the improved efficiency and the ease of communication Jama provides us. Keeping everyone on the same page with requirements content and status plus having everything in one, easy to navigate repository has been very helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If interested in an extremely configurable product to suit your process and development needs, regardless of the industry, I would highly recommend Jama because of the benefits it has provided our team. It has helped to increase our productivity and communication, and it has been embraced by our entire team.
