Jama Review
What do you like best about the product?
The review center, in my opinion, is the star of the Jama product. It promotes collaboration and its simple to use. Informally speaking, I think our end users enjoy the review center process the most. Since implementing Jama, we have seen an increase in customer participation in our internal projects.
Managing the sign-off and consensus on specific requirements was a challenge until we purchased Jama. Requirement management comes in a close second.

What do you dislike about the product?
The product can be overwhelming, even for someone who has used it for several years. Also, the legacy synchronization process was simple and straightforward. We since had to move to OPSHub, which was not as simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we purchased Jama a few years ago we were trying to solve the following challenges:
1.) How do we deliver requirements to our customers in such a way that they stay informed?
2.) How can we maintain project requirements in a centralized location?
3.) How can we ensure the right people have agreed to requirements before transitioning to development?
4.) How can we consistently provide our programmers with the information needed to develop software.
Since we have implemented Jama we have realized the following benefits:
1.) Requirements are no longer gathered in a vacuum amongst business analysts.
2.) Increased customer participation in the requirements review process.
3.) Consistency in the requirements gathering, management, delivery process.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have used other requirement management products in the past, and by far, this is the best one overall.
Easy to use and Great for documentation collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Re-usability of components, sharing docs with external clients
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the reporting output is not easy to render/read
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing business documents with clients, automating the sign-off process and maintaining history on reviews. The review process has been streamlined and is very efficient reducing overall timeline for sign-off.
One of the best requirements management platforms on the market
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and low barrier to entry. Once configured, the tool is usable within a few hours for all staff, even without Systems Engineering experience. Most importantly, it doesn't slow down or get in the way of the engineering.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some useful new features have been slow to implement
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Significantly reducing rework and time to market across multiple businesses who adopt Jama. Avoids errors in design process, helps link engineers to market needs and improves reuse.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider getting some training and support for basic systems engineering and requirements management principles. While Jama is really easy to use, teaching all staff the basics of Systems Engineering (e.g. 2-3 days training) will really get the best outcome
We came for a tool we gain a comprehensive solution with a strong partnership.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very well thought and engineered solution with some very good "out of the box" regulatory reports. JAMA Connect is very intuitive and ease to use by our teams.
Besides the tool solution, I also really appreciate the JAMA Software team that understand our core business and helps us along the way from a technical stand point.
Finally, the JAMA community web site as well as the regular webinars offered are extermely value-add additional resources.

What do you dislike about the product?
The limited dashboarding option for now is gap. Some alternative solutions exist but I will appreciate a comprehensive out-of-the-box set of dashboards to help our Dev teams and Leadership.
A connected Risk module with the Project module will laso be very beneficial.
A huge quick win will also be to provide conditional options to adjust the item's fields based on context. (example: if "x" in a check box than show those additional fields ...).

What do you like best about the product?
Customized Relationship Rules, Ease of tracing requirements, Review center is very helpful for internal reviews as well as customer reviews. Requirements coverage and traceability.

What do you dislike about the product?
If the review center can provide a way to attach the attachments, it will save us a lot of time and prevent juggling between the tasks.
Currently, only upstream and downstream items are visible, which is very useful.
We recently had a customer review on requirements and their verification, which helped a lot.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Requirements Traceability, Direct Coverage visibility for requirements.
All the test cases are in one place and organized by test plans.
Ease of creating tests for primary and secondary witnesses which allows us to run tests by two separate independent parties.
Requirements Review by a large group of stakeholders instead of having to work on excel sheets. This helps in keeping a track on versions and releases.

Efficiency, Visibility, Traceability, Peace of Mind
What do you like best about the product?
I like the live traceability and that the updates are bidirectional
I like that when defects are fixed (or updated) in Jira the changes are automatically captured in Jama
I like that there is no double-work, no copy-pasting from Jama to Jira or from Jira to Jama

What do you dislike about the product?
The initial set-up seems cumbersome but I wouldn't say I "dislike" it since it has to happen only once (and is supported by Jama).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are associates who use one only of the tools. For example, if primarily using Jira, there is no need to learn Jama because there is no need to update both tools, nor is there any overhead of sending an email or notifying others that something that has changed in Jira needs to be reflected in Jama. Once changes are made in Jira, Jama is automatically updated.
Simple to use and covers most of our needs in one tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Connection of requirements and tests. Openess to create own items simple
What do you dislike about the product?
Would need a way to connect tested sw hard to TCs instead of free text.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traceability between requirements from standards to tests.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Jama is a good tool. But work with the organization to get a full buy-in.
High flexibility, powerful and intuitive tools and interface, and nice technical support.
What do you like best about the product?
Very flexible to our process, and team madurity and size.
Operations with Requirements, and team collaboration are consistent.
Available features are solution oriented; i.e. meeting our needs.
Great for collaborating with external partners, at different levels of the project (edition, review, validation of REQ), thanks to a clever user permission management menu.

Moving Requirements around gets slow with volume.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Jama to create public tenders with more than 1000 Requirements.
Jama has helped us in the traceability of the REQ: from creation/edition stage, to verification and validation.
Good for accessing from multiple accounts, reviewing them with support from external partners.
Re-use of REQ among several projects, and ease to handle sync between them, has been great.
Also good tools to export all REQ into office documents, to output part of the results.
As we evolved our development process, so did Jama.

A good tool that adapts to your needs, more than you adapting to the tool.
All features at hand, with intuitive enough menus to customize Jama behavior.
