Evaluating Jama Connect
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and efficient UI - While offering all top features to be expected from such as tool (requirement management traceability, baselines management, risk management, reviews, etc.) and a lot of flexibility with its configuration capabilities, the decision of the team to engage with Jama came for a great deal from its simple and intuitive user interface.
Tremendous customer support - While during the evaluation process of the other tools the team had to process the manual or follow length tutorials and onboarding sessions, with Jama the learning curve has been much faster: less than half of the time spent in onboarding/training session with far better results).

What do you dislike about the product?
The configuration, for instance of relationship rules is system-wide and not per-project which is not ideal for contract development / manufacturing as he customer has its own specific needs. However, it is easy to understand the rationale behind it to streamline and standardize all developments within most companies. Fortunately, we can still create as many configurations as we like, one for each project if needed. That will just make the administrators job a bit less easy while having no impact on all the other users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Manage requirements in a single place without all the pain and suffering to maintain traceability in endless traceability tables, including test coverage and test results.
- Limit the risks of quality issue due to undetected gaps in the traceability.
- Allows better and faster management of late-stage changes reducing their impact in terms of both delays and cost.
- As a bonus it offers the possiblity to handle risk management and risk anaylsis in its FMEA templates.

Easy to use and setup
What do you like best about the product?
Jama is easy to use because the traceablity that is defined in the system also generate a complete overview of the trace tree.
The example that are in the system gives good input for how to setup your own project.
The possible to have data automatically propagate through the traces are a feature aI never seen before and help in keeping the information flow precise and updated live.

Good software for requirements management
What do you like best about the product?
We were using the Cloud version of Jama Connect and it is amazing to be able to use the software and not worry about hosting part. We are still able to configure the useful stuff, but don't have to care about updates or other maintenance activities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support is good and knowledgable, but the speed of response could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a database for easy management of requirements with their entire lifecycle, JAMA is assiting with this.

Versatile Platform
What do you like best about the product?
Jama's basic platform provides a simple platform that enables little trianing for a user to get started and to be productive using the tool to capture requirements, design, and other program level information. Customer support is also stellar. It is nice having a human to talk to, and the responses are timely and reguarly resolve open questions, and comments. Standing up the platform is straight forward, the tool is robust in its application, and enables integration of multiple projects to drive a connected digital model.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of great capabilities with Jama, however the "a la carte" pricing model to add basic features to enable requirement import/export (i.e., ReqIf), Jama Advisory, and Jama Interconnect should be part of the basic fee structure, rather than individauls pricing based on the number of specific licenses. These featuers help to differentiate from competitators and it would be appreciated if some of these featuers would be included, especially for companies that do not have blockbuster budgets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ultimatley, Jama is being use as a tool to enable certification of our product against stringent regulatory requirements. The tool enables the connection of disparate data into a connected and coherent digital model, with immeidate feedback regarding change impact.
Jama Connect facilitates product development, transparency, and stakeholder alignment
What do you like best about the product?
Jama Connect has allowed me to organize and structure projects in ways that are flexible to the needs of my organization. With Jama Connect, it is straightforward to establish the project hierarchy and the relationships between the different engineering artifacts so stakeholders can easily view and understand the full scope and contents of the project.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue I have encountered using Jama Connect has been with the export templates. Often, there have been issues with the formatting of the exported documents and items that had to be manually corrected, and it has been difficult to get the templates customized perfectly to the standards of my organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project organization - Jama Connect allows me to organize projects in ways that work for my organization, from user needs, to system requirements, to software and hardware requirements, to design specifications, to test cases. It also allows for easy grouping of related items into folders and subfolders. I've found that the more organized a project is, the easier it is for the various stakeholders to understand the project scope and thereby move through the development process more quickly and efficiently.
Traceability - Jama Connect allows me to link related items together and not only generate a trace matrix for the entire project, but also view the live traceability of items. This helps identify any gaps in traceability during project development and make sure the project hierarchy is complete. The customizable dashboard widgets also make it easy to see project status at a glance in terms of which items are not yet traced to parent or child items.
Reviews - Jama Connect's review feature facilitates the review process for requirements and other engineering artifacts by allowing cross-functional stakeholders to log in and review a set of requirements or engineering artifacts on their own time, approve or reject (or just marked 'reviewed') and leave feedback. This improves the product development team's awareness of the contents of the review and leads to improved requirements and other engineering artifact content. It also minimizes churn when attempting to release documents within the organization's document control system by virtue of getting preliminary approval in Jama from all required approvers.
Document generation - As the source of truth for product development projects, Jama makes it easy to generate and update design history file documents without editing the documents themselves, which can take a significant amount of time and lead to errors.

Jama Connect Review
What do you like best about the product?
The Review Center is very useful to promote collaboration and store historical data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Item Type definitions apply across the whole database as opposed to individual projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The re-use and synchronization feature will save us considerable effort and improve quality of our requirements once it is fully implemented.
Very efficient data driven tool for RM and RBE
What do you like best about the product?
Jama Connect is a highly intuitive software solution for Requirement Management (RM) and Requirement Based Engineering (RBE). As such, it is used to manage the complexity of requirements-driven system development. With the tool, it is possible to represent requirements from any number of stakeholders at the hierarchical levels necessary for the project - and, almost more importantly, to link them together. The administrator of the tool is able to tailor the tool to the needs of the projects in an equally intuitive and easy-to-learn way, to reuse content, to control its version, to review and much more. For our team, the introduction of the tool into our toolchain is an early Christmas present that simplifies our work enormously in many aspects of our daily business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The advantage of Jama Connect is definitely the continuous development of the already well-functioning tool. As such, however, some functions are only introduced and improved iteratively. However, as a system development is not a matter of a few days, we look forward to the introduction of further functions that will make life even easier.
However, our current negative point would like to be mentioned. Reporting by means of a Word template is easy to do. The context-sensitive reporting via Velocity, however, needs more in-depth consideration. The advantage here, however, is that Jama Software offers training for this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The systems my team develops are highly complex. This stems from a high number of stakeholders, system requirements and extensive documentation and life cycle sustaining requirements, where the overview and impact on individual system elements can easily get lost. In addition to the requirements side, complexity for internal and external stakeholders is indispensable for our team.
Jama Connect helps us maintain complexity and transparency to the extent necessary.
