Overall Satisfaction with PTC Integrity
PTC Integrity is being used by the Engineering Department for DO-178 and DO-254 projects.
Pros
- PTC Integrity provides full traceability from requirements down to the source code that implements the requirement.
- The GUI interface is relatively easy to understand.
- Requirements entry is easy to manage.
Cons
- Configuration of PTC Integrity can be intimidating.
- Would be nice if importing from Excel was available.
- Would be nice if more canned import wizards were available.
- We have had to demonstrate traceability in the tool to a customer already and they were very impressed. We anticipate having to demonstrate our configuration management process to DER's during out DO-178 projects and I expect to be successful.
We liked that PTC Integrity requirements management, testing and source control are accessible through a single interface. This is not what we found with DOORS. DOORS only offers requirements management and testing and they are in separate interfaces. We are also beginning to use Jama here. Jama also seems to be a good product. It is more easily configurable and the requirements and resting are accessible from one interface but I think there may be more of a learning curve to creating requirements in the web interface. It is too early to tell to give a good opinion. PTC Integrity support is excellent!! They have always provided answers to all of my questions with one phone call. Jama support is a little less attentive.

Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
My company allowed only limited administration training for me. PTC administration can be a little challenging. Only once have they suggested that we contract for training rather than using support for help. I have placed very many calls to support and they are always very helpful and attentive to my questions.
