Jama Connect Review
Jama Connect is great for providing traceability of requirements. We do not use Jama Connect for technical reviews.
April 01, 2024
Jama Connect Does the Job and is an Invaluable Resource
Compared to other technologies I have used to manage requirements, Jama Connect has been a good tool that is user-friendly and has been satisfying our needs. Other tools I have tried where either not that intuitive or were too cumbersome to adapt. With the access levels we have for Jama Connect, basically everyone is able to contribute in Jama Connect, creating items, sending them for reviews and checking on the traceability. The process we have in place in using Jama Connect has been working out well for us.

Jama for small companies
I am not able to compare Jama Connect with any other tool, since I have always used this tool for requirement and functional safety activities.
Much better and more usefull user interface which is adjustable and really makes life easier

Jama Connect - Excellent Tool for Regulated Products!!
Jama Connect's collaboration ability with the review center and @ mention capabilities were the biggest selling points to procure the tool. Our company collaborates primarily through @ mentions in various other tools, so it was incredibly important to have those references sent to users primary email box, which Jama Connect provides. Furthermore, traceability is extremely easy to follow and setup where as other prior tools required extensive knowledge of tool or was extremely cumbersome.

A Top Pick For Requirements Management
It is much more intuitive and user friendly than others I have used (Polarion, DOORs)

JAMA Software within CarUX Technology Europe BV.
We are using JAMA for a long time now and I cannot say how much time we saved on average per project. So I cannot compare it to other technologies.
For us -> very effective, before we even had not a proper process of doing it properly in some areas.

Perfect for our needs
It's been pretty good. It's approvals are not as streamlined as a true QMS system like Agile or Enovia, but it has much better collaboration tools than those. It's better at both of those things than Polarion.

Jama - Communication and Data Views Positive Review
I have been an admin with Top Team Analyst as well as have played/practiced a bit with Visure and Doors. Jama is considerably better than Visure and Doors on the collaboration, reviews and traceability than Visure and Doors. Top Team analyst is a closer competitor that has better strengths in layout and form than Jama when writing detailed solutions and work packages, but Jama is better in collaboration and reviews for sure.

Great requirements management software.
We only tried PDF documents before, and I don't think I need to describe how bad it was. Now, we can filter, tag, and group requirements. Manage their lifecycle. Easily update with version control. This was not available with PDFs.

My Review
There is no comparison between Jama Connect to the archaic IBM/Rationale Requisite Pro.

Perfect tool for small teams
for small project , JAMA is a huge help. instead of using Excel, JAMA is a single source of information.
we use a different workflow for review status as we have multi-discipline and large teams

Jama Connect Requirements Management Review
Currently we are not using collaboration.

Jama review
The 'Review Center' in Jama is particularly useful and popular with our users. They like it for "both sides" - both as Review Moderator role, and as Reviewers.
The Jama interface is reasonably intuitive so it is relatively easy to get new users oriented and actually doing work. I've worked with other RM tools, and Jama is the one with the least steep 'adoption curve' in my experience.
March 24, 2023
Thanks Jama!
N/A - have not used other technologies/ approaches for managing requirements
Jama is much more efficient in streamlining collaboration compared to working in local files such as Microsoft Excel. The biggest savings are in maintaining traceability in JAMA versus across multiple local files which require two-way updates for any changes.

Jama - the King of Kings
The canonical low-cost option is Excel which is not feature complete from a requirements development standpoint. However, there is some utility in the fact that the "flat" file can be modified and included in other "flat" documents for deliverable to the customer. The fact that Jama can retain the review history is a useful feature -- particularly if a program will be executed over a several year cycle.

It is very effective to everybody to work with one version of documentation

Collaboration and handling of Reviews are Jama's strongsuit and one of the major reasons for us to aquire the product. With well over 20 business stakeholder groups for multiple companies and several technical teams, it has yet to fail us even once.

A JAMA review from a startup aviation company
It is much more intuitive, and user-friendly than DOORS for example. It is better in terms of a learning curve for a junior engineer to engage in the requirements management word.

Features (traceability, collaboration, reviews and workflows for approvation process, suspect links) provided in Jama Connect were not available in the other tools we have used in the past.

Jama: Welcome to the future of RE
These three topics are clearly the USP of Jama Connect, by bringing collaboration conversation and a review space inside the tool it make it easier and low effort to keep track on the evolution of the workproduct. The traceability features that Jama offers are today state-of-art, nevertheless I believe that the effort required to make sense of the data is very low in comparison with other tools.
There is however the chance to enhance the review center by making available the information given there into the 'normal' workingspace. Also a bit more of automation to guide the reviewers through the workflow of the items and viceversa would be worth improving.

The Journey from Paper Documents to Jama Connect
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Historically, we used Word documents; which is arguably the worse possible choice for a requirements document but people still cling to the idea. Jama Connect allows us to have a searchable database of requirements and organized reviews but still export Word documents for others. A different department is using Excel for requirements tracking. This seems to work Ok. If we ever abandoned Jama Connect, this is probably what we would go to. Others are also using Doors. I haven't used it in years but when I did, it was very clumsy. It got the work done but was an effort to use it.
My personal experience in other tools like Jama Connect is rather limited, so the main comparison that I have is between Jama Connect and not having a tool for requirements management and traceability. Compared to the use of Microsoft Office (e.g., Word and Excel) to manage requirements and design traceability, Jama Connect is wonderful. There is a great deal of efficiency and elimination of redundancy through the use of Jama Connect as opposed to non-specific documentation tools.
