Jixee is a bug and issue tracker that integrates with tools like Github, Bitbucket, and Slack.
If you are familiar with IBM Rational Suite products, RequisitePro will add up due to the synergy between other components. Beyond that, if your business is not structured to an adequate development methodology or lacks the degree of maturity or necessary resources, probably RequisitePro does not add much value. If you work with developers in the requirements analysis, they probably prefer to use an SVN repository.
Jixee is particularly useful when it comes to automating the creation, updating, and completion of development project tasks. Jixee facilitates cross-platform collaboration by integrating with services currently used by development teams. Jixee has the ability to interact with chat apps, allowing teams to stay in touch.
Performance can be an issue. Make certain the server is sized properly
There is a large difference in capability of the Thick Client Version compared with the web based version. Make certain each job function has proper access to be able to do what is required of them.
Learning curve is not too steep, but would suggest having someone with experience setup the repository. Highly suggest getting a contractor to assist to get the repository up and running.
The price can be a bit steep. Although you can use it totally free for 7 days to try it out and see if it is useful for your company.
The payment is per user, which would generate a higher cost to companies with a large number of employees. Although if you join a plan and lower the number of users, the price of the plan is automatically updated.
This is a cloud-based software, so it cannot work without an internet connection.
Most likely as it's one of the powerful tools in the organization. We needed this tool to track all the process related documentation and also to capture signatures.
Please keep in mind that this all has to do with you you customize the user interface. It becomes very easy to house all of your requirements, but it may and can make life difficult for you if you do not think ahead of how you want the app to work and house your data
IBM has good support and knowledge base. With the wealth of information on their site and the support desk, we were able to quickly resolve issues. It is smart to build up a COE and a group that manages the software otherwise it is quick to be able to lose the knowledge as team members are assigned different duties
IBM clearquest would the BEST option if you are looking for managing change requests, managing project workflows, generating reports on status of requests. The reason being: cost, cost and cost. It almost handles everything that you would need for your project including bug tracking unless you want something really fancy (like HP QC) with a higher cost that supports a wide variety of needs which you might need to evaluate based on your project needs. For example, if you would be really making use of all those additional features provided by HP Quality Center. To be honest it depends on your project size, the skills of team members and of course budget!
