    I personally would prefer other products on the market right now such as Microsoft Team Foundation Server and Test Manager. I think having a product like Caliber that can only do requirements without integrating with a another system makes things a little more time consuming.

    I find Monday helpful for lead management. It's great because details like phone, email, and addresses are specific columns from which we can grab data and pull it into other areas. It's great to see who is assigned what and to know what the next steps are for your leads. We use a different scheduling tool with our team, as that calendar view isn't as robust.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Borland Caliber tracks functional and non-functional requirements pretty easily. You can easily add a requirement and attach a spreadsheet or a picture if needed.
    • Moving the hierarchy of requirements is fairly easy by just dragging and dropping.
    • Assigning users to approve requirements is simple by the fields included when adding a requirement and then submitting for review.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • I think Borland Caliber visually needs to be updated. It looks very out of date compared to other products on the market. The text box has a notepad feel to it and it's hard to make it visually catching.
    • Borland Caliber needs to be easier to integrate with other testing and development products on the market.
    • Having fields more related to URS and FRS would be helpful to auto-link to a document. So enter in a URS or FRS document ID at the beginning of a project in Caliber and then auto-assigning requirement IDs to link to pieces of code or test cases and having the user be able to decide a naming convention.
    • Borland Caliber needs a specific table for linking to a document ID and then each requirement could auto-generate a sub ID for each requirement to make the process of filling in User Requirements and Functional Requirements more efficient. Then the user should be able to modify the sub ID if the naming convention needed to be different.

    • Sometimes, it's a little technical to set up. Someone who isn't particularly savvy will have a hard time setting it up.
    • Sometimes there are glitches in the automations.
    • The comments areas can be confusing- how they nest. Things can get lost in there.

    I give a ten for monday dev's usability because it was a really smooth transition coming from Jira to monday dev. All team members also felt that way. When managing projects, the quality and various options I am able to customize views and columns for each task is really a dealbreaker. Approved.

    I think Borland Caliber is better than Atlassian Confluence and has way more options for ease of use and reporting. Team Foundation Server is my personal choice as it comes as a package for developers to link to requirements easily and link to test cases. Borland Caliber is visually the least attractive of the three systems I have used. If you need just a requirement manager for tracking and reporting then Borland Caliber is a great choice.

    It is at least as good as these tools, in many ways, it is better because it is easier to use and setup. It doesn't require a full-time admin like these tools do. It does lack some of the detailed reporting and such that these offer, but the product is still young and growing. These are much more well-developed tools

    Return on Investment

    • Having Borland Caliber would be nice if you only need to track requirements and your company does not do any developing or testing.
    • It does link very well with HP Quality Center for requirement and test asset tracking and ease of use.
    • Borland Caliber is cheaper than a lot of other products on the market that have the same features.

    • Although the initial operational cost is usually somewhat high, it is really worth considering in an environment with more than 10 employees working together.
    • In project costing (web development) it is quite acceptable and falls within the scope of the final product quote.
    • I don't have exact numbers or percentages (because I'm not in charge of that section) but I can say that it falls within a good to acceptable ROI range.
