    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!

    Planview TaskTop Hub is very well suited to implement the integrations to synchronise data such as requirement, task, bugs. We have very good experience with the integration between Jama and Jira as well as between two Jama instances. In the context test management, related to Test steps in a test case, it's quite complicated. Test Case synchronization between two Jama instances works with Steps. But we aren't able to implement the synchronisation of Test Cases including Steps to such Plugin of Jira like Xephyr.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A great integration tool, which comes with a wide range of supported end tools. Planview TaskTop Hub works with an integration concept that maximizes the scalability and flexibility of integrations across more than just two tools. For example, from our experience, we started with the integration between Jama Connect and Jira. We were able to extend our integration concept to a new tool, Pro Cloud Server, by ourselves. The element was synced within 10 minutes.

    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.

    Planview TaskTop Hub does generate traffic for some end tools. It is still in an acceptable range. For certain kind of retry to resolve issue in synchronizing relationships, an additional manual attention was required.

    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.

    I was considering giving a rating between 9 and 10. Overall, the support has been very good so far. However, I have noticed that the members of the support team have varying levels of know-how about Planview TaskTop Hub. When a ticket about a complex technical issue reaches a member such as Christoph T., Sr. Customer Engineer, the analysis is done thoroughly, and a sustainable solution is provided. With other members of the support team, the experience might be different.

    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.

    We had a very good collaboration with the enabling team from Tasktop in 2018. The enablement program was adequately structured, starting with building an integration concept based on use cases of the synchronized data. The training provided a good foundation for us to operate and maintain the tool. The tool administration and architecture were straightforward.

    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.

    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.
