Powerful but Clunky
We use DOORS as a requirements repository for the product and software. We use it to track, edit, and trace requirements coverage. It's used all across the business group I'm a part of amongst many roles. It is robust and large enough for all of our products both current and legacy.
- Stores requirements
- Compatible with HP ALM
- Filters well and is customizable
- Terrible UI and not intuitive
- Too slow to connect to, launch and run
- Scripts to use the features are way too complicated to write and maintain.

Open the DOORS to control your project
In the many consulting jobs that I have been doing, I have occasionally encountered companies with solid and extensive processes (necessary bureaucracy for manufacturers and factories, since they need to manage big production flows). For projects in that environment, we need extensive traceability tools, like IBM Rational DOORS.
- Big panorama view in relation to requirements. You can have all your artifacts in one place with total traceability.
- MS Office templates and IBM Requisite Pro compatibility.
- IBM ways of doing things, like customizing your variables and so on.
- Too complex for projects or businesses that don't really need the detail. It is basically overkill.
- If you are new to IBM Rational tools, it may be a medium learning curve. You'd also need lots of training from your people, since, as usual, this tool shouldn't be managed alone.
- It may seem old fashion compared to JIRA and the current control tools used in IT industry.

IBM Rational DOORS Review
DOORS is our tool of choice on large programs with a large number of requirements to manage at various levels of integration.
- Parent to child requirement traceability
- Auto tracking of all changes made to an object
- Ability to create a toolkit to generate documents straight from DOORS
- Linking between DOORS modules using DXL
- Not web based
- Better interface with other tools
- Ability to track requirements approval and sell off

IBM DOORS can handle your data referencing needs.
We currently use DOORS to manage the project requirements for one or more projects. We use the software in one department for one or two lines of service that the company offers. DOORS allows us to manage a vast amount of data with relative ease. Although the program is very powerful, it is sometimes difficult to use.
- Allows linking of information in different parts of the program.
- Works fairly well with other programs like Excel and Word.
- Has a layout that is familiar, with a ribbon-like bar at the top.
- The program can seem overwhelming because it is very complex. Maybe a beginner, intermediate and advanced mode?
- The software has some dependencies on other software that make it easy to break at times.
- Setting up the software was a nightmare. It has too many components, and once the connection between them is set you cannot make changes easily.
