    Additional DetailsPlease note that Cradle is licenced by fully floating concurrent module licences. So pricing will depend on your usage pattern. For example licencing for 10 engineers may require 7 REQ (Requirements Management) , only 2 SYS (Systems Engineering Modelling) and say 1 DASH (Dashboard analytics). Licences are only locked when that function is accessed, which means a large user base can have access to all functionality at a much low cost than usual pricing. That's why it's good to call.Billed monthly or annually, by concurrent users. Discount for annual billing. Annual billing only for downloaded version. Billed at a minimum 3 concurrent users.

    We selected SpiraPlan because the workflow allows us to start simple without adopting an entire methodology. It suits small teams and single users really well.

    • Flexible requirements organisation structure. I'm able to group and sub-group requirements as I see fit.
    • Competitive product pricing. Paying by active use instead of registered user was the winning point.
    • UI is straightforward and easy to use.

    • Access from South East Asia is rather sluggish. Could be due to server location.
    • Complimentary phone app to do simple tasks (e.g. create tasks, create requirements, add comments) offline would be beneficial because access to the internet can be an issue at the customer's environment.

    • Allows us to manage simple IT requirements without major upfront costs. Allows us to expand our process complexity at our own pace.
    • Slow UI response from a South East Asia country can make data entry a drag.
