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.

We did not achieve the outcome that we had hoped. The software was a little more cumbersome and the learning curve was steeper than we would have liked. Our average age employee in our office is 50. It was not easy to get this up and going. We didn't feel like our company size (+/- 50) was the …

The internal model for Jama is sound, and traceability and suspect links are some of the best tools that we have. However, interoperability is not the best, and many times the requirements being provided by other parties needed a lot of massaging before being able to be imported in Jama.
