Code Compare vs. codeBeamer ALM

If your developer team is well-versed with standard VCS then I don't think they need this additional software to occupy their memory, they already have those capabilities within all VCS. A well-suited use case can be a team where not everybody has knowledge of VCS but has to collaborate on a project.

In my opinion codeBeamer is well suited for any activity where detailed tracking is needed with teams involved. It can be less suited for small projects which do not last long, or are not continuous, etc

• Easy to compare files and folders as it provides many features to set different colors while matching.
• Easy to sync local clones with the production system.
• It allows to user to compare the file within multiple windows.

• Tracing of requirements.
• Tracking of development.
• Tracking of QA.
• Tracking of bugs.
• Tracking of releases.
• Wiki.
• Users and teams.
• Works for teams scattered across the globe.
• Testing and coverage for releases.
• Integration with SVN.

• Dark mode would have been a welcome change.
• UI could be updated to latest standard rather than old windows square looking UI.
• Despite being simple to use, a user guide would be appreciated.

• Search.
• Metric calculation.
• Would be nice that cB is a source of truth, i.e., that say SVN commit is done only from cB; know this is difficult to achieve.

Sometimes info in codeBeamer can be lost, in principle, if not well organized by the user, info can never be found, or can be forgotten about, etc

Excellent support professionally. Also, thanks for giving me for free access to SaaS cB for my hobbyist project.

codeBeamer is by far better.

• It helps to save a lot of effort hours as we can synch code with few simple steps.
• Easily to check customers issues with the help of local and production changes.
• Helps to deploy the service packs on a production system.

• Customer tracking.
• Process tracking.
• Workflow framework.
• Can be overhead.
