    Chose Jama Connect
    Jama Connect is more straightforward than these systems but not quite as versatile or comprehensive. I would choose those other systems if I were at a very large company working on very complex systems (which I am not).

    Jama Software
    For the past year, I had taken on the Jama Administrator role for
    my client and was able to quick learn how to configure the system to
    meet requirements and expectations of ASPICE, Functional Safety, and
    Automotive Cybersecurity as well as ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 standards
    focused on quality. Jama Connect is one of the
    most powerful engineering tools I've ever had a chance to use. It not
    only does exactly what's advertised and the customer service and
    technical support are Best-in-Class. For those who are searching for a
    Requirements Management Tool, I highly recommend you give Jama a try.
    They've got everything down to a science from the moment you start
    interacting with a Jama representative, to the training and the
    on-boarding. The learning curve was very quick for me, in large part
    due to the amazing technical support that I was able to receive from
    Jama's subject matter experts. Every person whom I spoke with about the
    tool and its capabilities was absolutely top-notch. If you really want to level-up your game, try Jama Connect Advisor. Get yourself a free demo. You won't find any better tool for Requirements Management!

    We use Oracle Product Hub Cloud to manage our supply chain and increase productivity. This is an awesome tool to manage our customer database and reduce unwanted costs of product management and shipping. The way this tool is designed is really amazing because we can create a product easily and we can streamline ERP and our supply chain.

    Pros
    Jama Software
    • Requirements Management in general
    • Focus in the content without loosing the track of the evolution of the items by maintaining the exchange of information between the users inside the Tool.
    • The possibilities to integrate this tool within our IT-landcape and with our other engineering tools is for us a leverage to success.

    • Products and requirements are growing more complex than ever. Oracle's Agile Product Lifecycle Management helps you innovate profitably, with the broadest and most comprehensive solution to efficiently centralize product data, streamline processes, and launch quality products faster. Agile PLM is a strategic approach to managing the lifestyle of a product throughout its full value chain from initial requirements gathering through to design, prototyping, obtaining certification, product customization, service and retirement. Agile PLM emphasizes process efficiency, cross-functional collaboration in the extended enterprise, rapid innovation, rigorous quality control, risk mitigation, and cost-effectiveness.
    • The aspects that I like of Oracle Agile Project Management is that it helps foster collaboration between internal team members and vendors. All of our processes are documented on the platform, and the platform helps increase accountability across all internal teams. Collaboration is great in this tool.
    • Oracle Agile is a good product lifecycle management (PLM) software tool/database. Oracle Agile PLS is overall and for the most part, easy to use and has the ability to be customized and is able to provide visibility into the data that was entered into the database. This tool allows cross-functional teams to work on the same task at the same time, which is great when working remotely and/or working on an all remote team. Overall, this tool helped to accelerate product review, approval, and ultimately launch of new materials, therefore maximizing profitability and enhance product features and design as needed. The database is easy to use and does not require much training for someone who is technically savvy with other similar databases, and/or have used them in the past.
    • There lots of functionality and features in this product which gives you, as a company, great benefits to be able to manage your products portfolio. Easy to document products and have a way of looking up a product history and quality issues in the past. Better teamwork with pair engineering and co-located teams. Less documentation to restrict creativity, less time spent doing blind research, testing and feedback speeds up learning, and smaller more rapid improvements.

    Cons
    Jama Software
    • The 'filtering' capabilities in Jama are not as good as they could be. In particular, the ability to "nest" filters is quite limited. I have certain seen much better capabilities in other tools. ('Cradle' is an example of a tool with excellent "nested filters" capabilities.)
    • From an administrative point of view, the 'License' admin view is pretty disappointing. The particular thing that I'd like to be able to find out from it is the peak number of 'Float Creator' licenses in concurrent use on each day. If there's a way to get to that information, I haven't found it yet.

    • Agile PLM does not let us keep workloads properly balanced if we want to use more than one virtual network (VCN, specifically), forcing us to work with a single network in which we manage the different levels of the work infrastructure. Although this is a drawback, it has helped us to adapt to more centralized methodologies.

    Jama is really easy to use and operate compared to other tools. This allows a process owner to get easier buy-in from the organization to see value early. My experience with this tool was very positive and we were able to see value early in its introduction

    Usability
    Jama Software
    The requirements and baseline parts are easy to use. The review centre is very useable and understandable, once you understand/set up the moderation. (This last part could use some refinement.) Integration/connectability (the Connect part of Jama) is quite possible, but the useability could use some love as well.

    Performance
    Jama Software
    With performance compared to JIRA, I do recommend Jama in this case. Jama provides very good performance, it loads immediately for any of the items and searches any item immediately. Performance is really good in all of the operations including creating stories, epics, item types or other support operations or report generation.

    They typically answer within minutes of posting a ticket, and then you have a clear expectation of what the issue is, how to diagnose it, how long will it take to get resolved, and in which version a given problem is resolved, or if there is a patch for hosted services. They have a number of support people, and all of them are top-notch.

    Helpful and exhaustive and tailorable for our needs. Instructor was well versed and engaged. Material was a good reference and was up to date with tool. Overall, in person training was valuable for tool introduction. Trainer was an active user of the tool and worked closely with other clients. So, very knowledgeable.

    Implementation Rating
    Jama Software
    Jama 2015.5 implementation is very smooth and no need for much manual work. Jama 8 has many challenges and we can not install it as smoothly as Jama 2015.5. Initially, Jama didn't provide the Jama 8's installer files or zip files and they were just providing docker files to everyone (which was really strange). It is the worst that they don't provide all the files at a time. Why should they tell us where we should deploy, and why only a dockerfile? I am not very satisfied with Jama implementation.

    It’s easier to use, easier to trace requirements and verification and has a better UI These other tools feel more like glorified excel sheets whereas Jama actually feels intentional with being an ALM tool.
    As stated before tracing is much faster, creating the tracing matrix/workflow is easy like using a Miro workflow.
    It’s just easier to read everything.

    While considering oracle Product Hub Cloud, the most thing which attracted me toward it is that it provides a single, Best in class data management to deliver master product record that threads business process including cross chain compliance product introductions although it hasn't built a cloud product that the general market is looking for.

    Scalability
    Jama Software
    There is no horizontal scalability available in Jama, we have only one choice to scale it vertically. But vertical scalable applications always have limitations to grow. In this case, Jama doesn't support horizontal scalability functions like multi-node architectures with a shared drive for the home directory.

    Return on Investment
    Jama Software
    • One experience that converted an engineer to using Jama Connect was an electronics engineer that was writing test plans. I showed them about how to write "unit" or very discrete tests and then showed them an automatic export to get the document. Thus the authoring of the document effort was taken away, they could focus on defining the test
    • Unfortunately I have very much struggled to embed systems engineering, requirements management and Jama Connect as part of the 'ways of working' outside the systems and electronics teams.

    • It is quite expensive to maintain the program and ask for technical support from an outside vendor.
    • It was better than the older system to handle records, just not training.
    • It would be more cost and time effective to improve the system rather than move onto a new one.
