What do you dislike about the product?
Reporting mechanism both using widgets and in producing "exports"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization of fundamental information and sharing / reviewing that information among stakeholder (review features are very good!)
Great tool with minor limitations
What do you like best about the product?
Jama Connect is a great tool for Requirements Management. It is web-based and has a modern interface. Thanks to the versioning and item history you can see all changes in a Project. The Review functionality allows for great collaboration across multiple teams with comments that can be tied to specific text-sections through highlighting.
With the REST API you can also develop your own tools to interact with the data in Jama for integration into other processes.
Thanks to the available training videos users can easily onboard and understand the basic functionalities. Even if you get stuck, you can reach out to the Support team and get help quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few rules in the tool that you need to get used to. Special items always need a 'Set' as a parent item, even if you only want to add a single item to your project.
Another shortcoming that we experienced is that in Review mode you can't have the tabular view which is available in Project view. However, we received some recommendations on how we could change our processes to live with this limitation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us a centralized storage space for all our requirements that are accessible for everyone. No more Excel sheets that are stored locally on everyone's machines with different versions. Thanks to versioning and the comparison features you can easily identify changes and see the impact analysis of what's going to happen if something is changed.
Useful for Stakeholder and Design Review Documentation
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite component of Jama is its trace capabilities; I get a great deal of use out of both the Project Relationship Diagram and the item- or folder-level Trace View.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that certain features of Jama, such as the Connect Advisor, aren't available with the base package.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our stakeholders require reports of certain project components, so storing the project data in Jama allows us to make live changes to individual items instead of sifting through hundreds of pages just to make a few simple edits. This provides for a simplified and dynamic process when managing data.
Data management is easy, it's structured yet flexible
What do you like best about the product?
Jama connect is extremely user friendly. Both adoption and administration do not burden an organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The value for money or cost per user could be better for a mid-size organization. It's made worse when some functions or services are add-ons to the base licensing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
On a daily basis I can credit Jama Connect with two key contributions to our organization, namely centralization and traceability. Data is always current, and where you expect it. Traceability most always provides the answer to any data question.
Jama Connect for medical devices
What do you like best about the product?
Jama Connect is highly and easily customizable. Each item can be customized to the specific needs. Jama Connect helps to create and maintain the documentation for products in regulated environments, like medical devices, from design input to design output. It ensures full traceability between Requirements on different levels, to Risk Management and Mitigations, down to V&V results to fulfill regulatory requirements. Jama Connect allows to define specific traceability rules and is able to analyze the impact of changes to downstream items.
Collaboration is also a big plus in Jama Connect. With the integrated Review Center, it is easy and intuitive to gather feedback in an early stage already, and also to collect approvals for releasing the content. This helps to eliminate the need of having long and exhausting review meetings.
Finalized content can be exported in pre-installed, but also into customized reports/documents.
Jama Connect can integrate with a variety of 3rd party systems like Jira, to also achieve traceability across other platforms and tools.
The support of Jama Connect is fast and can solve issues in a very short time.

What do you dislike about the product?
When using Jama Connect on a self-hosted server, the installation, administration and maintenance might be tricky. But Jama Connect offers reliable and secure Cloud environments, so that you don't have to deal with it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working in highly regulated environments like the medical business, there are strict requirements on the documentation through the complete product lifecycle. Jama Connect helps to fulfill these requirements during development, but also for design changes after the release. With Jama Connect, we are able to easily create all the required documents for the registration of our products all around the world.
Jama provides the end-to-end traceability that is expected in the Healthcare industry
What do you like best about the product?
Jama Connect is very user friendly and intuitive compared to another requirements management tool I've used in the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
Templates require custom programming with Velocity or Mail Merge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Jama is solving a problem that has plagued my organization for some time and that is traceability (and linkage) between requirements documentation and risk management documentation. With Jama now implemented, it is informing users when they have missing links, suspect links or gaps where links are expected. It provides feedback to the user that changes that they are making, although may be very simple, are impacting other documents that they may not have realized.
A User Centric tool for Requirements Management
What do you like best about the product?
Compared to other tools (my main experience is with DOORS 9.3), Jama Connect provides a vastly superior interface that is far more welcoming and easier to use in comparison. Conducting reviews and approving items is all done within the tool, so the entire history, the engagement and the results are all stored together.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting data out of Jama into formats such as a Word Document or Excel Spreadsheet, is supported out of the box, but customising the output to get it how you like using Word Templates is still extremely difficult and unintuitive. The next option is to use Velocity Reports, which is superior in getting it how you want, but is another level of complexity entirely.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JFD is using Jama Connect to be the single source of truth for our latest project. We are trying to use Jama to record all the standard requirements traceability, planning for verification and validation and evidence of which all within the tool. We need to address the culture and processes to take advantage of systems engineering and how requirements management is a benefit, we've got all team members accounts for Jama so that they have easy access to all of their requirements.
Jama Connect is extremely intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
Jama Connect is extremely intuitive. Team members are able to use it immediately without any prior training. We do have a training program that is recommended for the entire team but that serves to show everyone how to take the best out of the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no particular feature or aspect of the tool that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping structure requirements, ensuring the requirements are actually viewed by the staff.
Powerful and easy to use Requirement Management Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface and the ease of use make this tool an excellent product to help get new users fully trained up on using it.
Additionally, the immense level of modification and the linking of items makes this an extremely useful and powerful tool to be used with highly complex engineering projects.
Finally, the support offered by the Jama team is exceptional!

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind. Anytime that we have had any issue, the Jama team was able to assist us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The tool allows us to capture, link and manage a large number of requirements covering the overall system, the various subsystems and the subsystem components. Additionally, it allows for clear and easy linking between the various requirements and any verification items that they might have.
Get very good support
What do you like best about the product?
Get fast solutions for issues and quick response for questions. I worked with Dona Medhaug.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the time, it is difficult to change configuration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cannot log on to the production server or database involved. After fixing it, all users can log on to Jama app.
