  • Jama [Connect] has a great ROI.
  • Jama [Connect] seems to be built for larger companies in mind.
  • Collaboration in the software is top notch.
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 ideal company size that they had in mind.
We have used other collaboration software in the past and we seem to keep running into the same problem. They have big dreams [of] bringing in big companies and we personally cannot make this work within our smaller business. We are somewhere between just using Microsoft Office for all of our processes and needing to get to a larger software like Jama [Connect].
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.

Jama [Connect] seems like it would be a better product to use in a larger business setting where there are multiple offices or even multiple locations. We have a single location and we don't feel like it's the best for what we need to use for project collaboration. It seems too "large scale".
