codeBeamer ALM vs. TechExcel DevSuite

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

DevSuite helps us as a company collaborate on how to best manage the requirements and specifications of a technical design. It allows us to create, organize, manage and visualize requirements and specifications, so everyone has access to the same information and is able to use version control to make things easier.

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.

I'd say it offers pretty much all of the functionality that we need, including scrum, talk mgmt, multiple workflows, full audits, MS Office integration, and many other things. We really can't complain, as it's doing basically exactly what we were promised it would. Pricing is fair and has not gone up.

codeBeamer is by far better.

We were given a really good recommendation from a trusted partner on the implementation and use of this tool, so while we looked at other solutions like Microfocus and Inflectra, but we were pretty convinced we would go with DevSuite from pretty early on in the selection process. We knew it would accomplish what we needed it to, and the price was quite fair.
