Overall Satisfaction with IBM Rational Team Concert

IBM Rational Team Concert is used across entire RnD as source control and ALM tool.
  • One suite for all ALM needs; from requirements to code to bug and test management.
  • Handles well complex stream and merge activities.
  • Good API support, backed by a big vendor.
  • Clunky user interface and experience.
  • Hard to learn and "get around."
  • Sometimes feels you're working for it instead of the opposite.
  • Allows managing large number of dev stream and products.
JIRA is simpler and much more intuitive, especially when bundled with Confluence.
TFS is obvious choice if working with Microsoft technologies and has superb API.
IBM Rational Team Concert is best for all around ALM suite, maybe if migrating from Clearcase.
