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

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.

Worked on few big projects by using Jama
What do you like best about the product?
Requirements, test scenarios, test cases can be collected in one place with relations between them
A lot of report types, which are very useful

What do you dislike about the product?
Not easy way to move existing test cases
Not easy way to create test plans
Dislike way of TC's links creation for mailing

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gathering all basic info about project in one place. Ability to work within Jama (not only reports creation and reading of requirements)
Exceptional traceability; brilliant information sharing
What do you like best about the product?
When your team adopts JAMA, the entire process of generating, reviewing and verifying against specifications becomes engaging and rewarding.
JAMA enables conversations and reviews to occur within the context of the specifications themselves which allows anyone the capability to come up to speed on the history and justification of a specification quickly.
The traceability model in JAMA is exceptionally powerful, providing detailed impact analyses with minimal effort. As a systems architect, the value this creates is phenomenal.

What do you dislike about the product?
JAMA, like all tools, is only as good as your use of it. Our team has struggled in the past and it was only through dedicated effort that we have been able to realise the benefits of JAMA.
The training material for JAMA, as well as their pre- and post-sales support are fantastic but the "check it out and tinker" experience (as most software engineers prefer) is not so great. JAMA suffers a little from the "blank slate" problem whereby a new, empty project can be a daunting prospect.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've specifically used JAMA to provide a traceability model from customer requirements, through use cases and system-level requirements down to indivudal subsystem and software unit acceptance criteria. From these specifications, Test Cases were derived and their statuses captured within JAMA.
The benefits, once we embraced the power of JAMA, were immense - being able to track the impact of changes through the entire system, including already executed tests, was phenomenal. This information allowed us to be proactive and lean, armed with the confidence that we were spending our time and money on the right things.

You should spend the time and money to understand the benefits of changing your workflow to integrate the use of JAMA as well as customizing JAMA to suit your needs.
Effective Requirements Tracking and Verification Testing Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Jama provides a mechanism for linking together everything from inputs to verification execution. Documents can be generated from the information captured in Jama. Executing tests in Jama makes it easy to track progress and gather metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
The features of Jama are somewhat constrained by the implementation. For our purposes, the information must be exported to documents, and the constructs Jama allows don't always make it easy to reference different sections of Jama (aside from links directly back to Jama). The export functionality only allows spreadsheet exports to be of a pre-defined format.
The export overwrites the content control content. For example, if you set the Title content control in the template, the exported document will not have any text in the Title content control.
The test plans/runs features can be tricky to grasp. Additionally, the mechanisms allow tests to be updated, overwriting any existing test run even if it has data.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary use for Jama is requirements tracking. We also use it for verification execution. The relationships feature allows us to trace requirements to tests and generate coverage reports easily.
Full of Potential
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoyed the fluidity and completeness of the package from the requirements management all the way to the test plans. The customizability of the front page helps us display useful stats to the team and the generation of reports also assists greatly to generate documents of large sizes which are required by the standards we adhere to in our industry. If they fix some of the irritating quirks, I truly believe Jama can reach its full potential as a go-to solution for requirements management and testing for product design.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, the Jama software also comes with many quirks which - if you're extremely unlucky Can set a project back. There were several problems we found related to the locks Jama put on test runs, which following certain sequences could allow other testers to potentially overwrite an test run's results, causing data to be lost. Some of Jama's strengths also highlight its weaknesses. For example, the customizability only extends to certain features, while the others remain rigid and unmalleable. One example of this is the fact that the test results/test runs do not have a link to the requirements, but rather to the test case. This adds an additional layer of referencing which can end up being very tedious if the test cases and the results have already been turned into hard-copy reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We specialize in designing and manufacturing products for our customers. Jama helps us streamline the process all the way from the customer and project head who decide upon requirements, down to the testers who run the tests, providing a good amount of visibility at all levels.
