Perforce ALM vs. Visure Solutions ALM

Helix ALM is very well suited for maintaining traceability between user needs, requirements and tests for medical device design controls. It allows users to customize the reports to create a traceability matrix or any other reports that are needed. It is also a good program for tracking issues and bugs and for storing/linking verification and validation test protocols and reports.

The tool is designed in such a way that it is possible to define the processes you need to implement precisely. Visure can adapt to different organizations and answer several needs. It also works together with Jira or other defect tracking applications to synchronize and link all the requirements with the defects (I haven't used this feature so far but have seen it during a demo of the tool). Here are the different areas Visure can cover:- Requirement Management- Risk Management- Test Management- Procurement Management- Variants Management.

• Traceability for design controls.
• Managing workflow of bugs/issues.
• Maintaining risk management information.

• We had specific problems related to our use cases (process configuration) which were solved with Visure's support team.

The support from Perforce has been extensive and allowed us to customize the setup of Helix ALM specific to our needs. They also hosted training sessions for our users and administrators and provided us with troubleshooting help during initial setup.

The other tools that we evaluated did not have all of the capabilities and customization that Helix ALM had to offer and therefore we decided to select Helix ALM.

• Improved management of requirements, risks and bugs to make sure they don't get lost in emails or long documents.
