Jama Connect - Excellent Tool for Regulated Products!!

Jama Connect was the perfect balance between cost, usability and scalability that our company desired. Helix was definitely cheaper but didn't offer the usability or scalability perks. Codebeamer missed the mark on cost and was designed more for a software centric requirement management experience. Confluence with an add on called Requirement Yogi was an easy solution but usability, scalability and overall configuration management were major concerns for our company.

Perfect for our needs

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 - Communication and Data Views Positive Review

Rating: 9 out of 10
March 04, 2024
Jama suited our need for collaboration and communication plus a difficult stakeholder's approval roadblock. Jama provides a very easy to use interface and communication system that brought in the buy-in from all stakeholders based on the communication problems we needed to solve. Visure, Doors, TTA didn't quite perform as well in the communication/collaboration department where we really needed a boost.

One considerable difference I find is the review engine that Jama has. It truly is one of the most important things to be able to bring in many different parties from many different organizations into a review process and combine those reviews in an easy to read and manageable process. I think Jama really prioritizes and excels with his feature.

I really liked Cradle as it seemed to be very full-featured. BUT, my liking for it was predicated on my being a daily user of the tool; it took me a while to get familiar with the tool. What was certainly true of Cradle in my experience was that it was VERY challenging to get 'occasional users' anywhere close to being comfortable with using it. Jama is certainly a lot less daunting for new / occasional users.

Polarion did not have the outside sales support that Jama Connect has. Polarion seems better suited for an Agile development lifecycle rather than an evergreen repository of requirements, design features, and verifications.

Excel is the low-cost/low-feature requirements management solution. It's limitation to being a flat repository is also it's greatest strength, as the contents can be incorporated into other deliverables quite easily.

DOORS is... DOORS.

The major sellingpoints of Jama were the review-system for internal and external reviewers and the inclusion of (Use Case) modelling tools, while keeping the core requirements-centric. Ability to synchronise with currently in use test-tooling and the low learning curve were additional selling points. Availablity of support in our local language was much appreciated as well.

JAMA can navigate between them, as far as it generates reports accessible through MS Project, Word, and Excel. Moreover, very likely it can be embedded into Confluence as well however, we have not yet implemented this feature.

From a technical point of view, DOORS is much more customizable than Jama Connect, and this is more useful when talking about SW related requirements; when talking about system related requirements, Jama Connect is well suited with respect to DOORS, in the sense that collaboration is much easier in Jama Connect.

Jama brings requirements engineering to the 21st century and sets up the bar to measure other tools. DOORS and DNG never managed to make this jump and stayed in the past.

We originally looked at Connect (Contour) and Doors as we wanted to move away from Word documents. Contour was much easier to use and had a better collaboration environment. The was many years ago; I haven't done any comparison in the last 5+ years.

  • Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365)
Jama Connect, being a tool that is specifically designed for requirements management and design traceability, provides many benefits over a non-specialized productivity tool such as Microsoft 365. The revision history, collaboration functions, and tool features are much more applicable to the specific needs of requirements management and design traceability than the generic Microsoft 365 package.

We did use Procore for a bit but it has the same issue that Jama had, too big for a company our size. Procore has now made a smaller, stripped-down version for smaller companies, like us, that isn't as pricey but has enough for us to be able to take advantage of. We did not go back to Procore when they released this option. The collaboration on Jama [Connect] was superb when compared to Procore.

I haven't used the other tools in some time, but I know I prefer Jama over Jira and MS Project. Again, this is skewed based on the fact that I haven't used the other 2 tools in years. Jama is used more by clients whom I work with so it seems to be more of a market leader than other products, but that could also be the case because of the businesses we work with.
