What do you dislike about the product?
The price! It's probably the most expensive tool we have (cost/user license) so it is never a certainty that we'll keep renewing. Would like to see some flexibility on pricing depending on the features you use. We don't use the test case mgmt features at all, for example. Most products have pricing tiers and it would be nice to see Jama implement that.
I think the reqts management features are pretty strong. Our QA team didn't give the test case mgmt features the thumbs up. They chose Test Rail. So I lost the ability to connect reqts to test cases in one tool. I suggest looking at the test case and test plan features and make those stronger.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Documenting requirements in one place, in a standard way.
Documenting feedback from stakeholders in one place.
I wanted one source of truth for requirements.
Avoid rework due to missed reqts.
Benefits
Rework due to missed reqts is down (haven't measured by how much though).
BAs are more consistent in how they manage reqts.
History of feedback saves time (discussions about why we did something or what the reqts were in the first place are reduced).

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The change management involved in rolling out a tool like this was bigger than the effort to learn the tool. You need a proper project plan and a capable project manager to get all the internal stakeholders plus external contacts (reqts stakeholders) to buy in, get trained, use it properly, etc.
Indispensible to managing business and software requirements
What do you like best about the product?
The software is pretty robust. We have experienced few problems, and when we do, they have top-notch Level 1 and Level 2 support; also because we are an international company, the fact that the have EU support, etc. is also quite helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the Jama community is an excellent way to ask questions and suggest "enhancements," I think some are a bit slow to come to market. For example, easier ways to make MS-Word output and Jama perform more seamlessley.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great flexibility and a way to track and integrate sofware and business needs.
Easy to Use Platform which has proven benefical to the business for years
What do you like best about the product?
I like the permissions structure, which is straightforward and easy for users to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more administrative functions to help determine if a Jama project is still active. Maybe reminders to project/content owners to update/archive content/projects.
Also a tool to help with inactive users to help manage licenses would be great.

Jama upgrade
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
Moving to Jama 8 is a BIG change. In general, I have stayed away from docker. I've heard some painful tales about it and it seems to be a solution in search of a problem that I don't have.

The interface is pretty straight forward. Easy to track the requirement along with the test cases prepared to accommodate those requirements.

The integration between JAMA and Excel when there is a heavy manual testing done with the help of Excel, it is one tough task to integrate those two.

Jama Review
What do you like best about the product?
Jama is a real wonderful tool to track addition of new features to a software and to enhance existing capabilities. I personally consider a lot of value for this tool in the project management cycle due to the abilities and permissions it can provide. I like the read-only feature of the tool since the specs can be written by one team and the implementing team can just read and access it without changing it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only dislike I have is the lack of integration support with most of the common agile products. This is a pretty big deal considering the fact that a company can use different tools from different companies to take care of its agile software development process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main business problem solved through Jama is that I can collect customer data and turn it into a feature for a future release of my software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I do believe that Jama is a pretty good product to use for agile software development
Great tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to configure and fast to use. It has a lot of different options that fit any needs. Everything that may be needed in a project already in Jama. Test management is mostly used and everyone provided great feedback of a tool. Easy to create test cases
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a big amount of reporters. It would be good to have more types of reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Test management and requirements tool
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try and you will like it
Jama Product Review
What do you like best about the product?
Exchange, links between items and great review tool.
The Jira integration is also a big advantage in our organization, to track advance of the user stories of the project.
The tools is also very useful to allow us to enter user requirements (even if a better import tool will be great) and to follow, though the links include in Jama, all the tasks needed to be done to fitful this requirement.
The "build your own" report from the different available links are also a way to have different views (customer, developer, specialist, etc.).
And I really like the review, as simple as possible, even if "rights" on user story "blind" some information to people who haven't enough permission (some document linked can't be seen through the review).

What do you dislike about the product?
Global ID not well manage (moving from a project to an other), as we are working on a product built by projects. So, when we move "user story" from project to the "product" (in fact, an other project), the Global ID is changing, and all links are lost.
The product management must be improved, to be able to "pick up" easily from one project (our product) each function that are useful for a dedicated project, with only "links", and not copy/paste which change this Global ID.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Have one tool to describe the function of the solution, and share, with review, to many people around the world.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good collaborative tool, with excellent review process.
Integration with Jira is also great.
