IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Managing Director at CCC Systems Engineering Suisse GmbH3.0I primarily use IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management alongside DOORS for complex software presentations, as its automation greatly aids analysis. However, improvements in usability and better integration with Rhapsody are needed compared to user-friendly competitors like Enterprise Architect.
Heaad of Automation Devision at Alstom Ferroviaria S.p.A.3.5I use IBM Rational ALM in our manufacturing company to manage requirements and testing. Its integration with other IBM tools and reporting capabilities add value. However, the complex user interface could be simplified for non-technical users.
Product Owner at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees2.5I use IBM Rational ALM to plan development, valuing its customizability and strong compliance features, though it lacks sophisticated reporting, user-friendly GUI, and effective planning tools. I'm currently evaluating Jira due to these limitations.
Global IT Director of Digital Platforms. Digital and Connected Commerce at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees2.0Our team of 15 to 20 software engineers used IBM Rational ALM for testing. While the cloud-based feature is valuable, interconnectivity issues and the need for better trace matrix ability exist. We saw no ROI and transitioned to Atlassian.
Owner at Qstec4.0I oversee a team using IBM Rational ALM, finding its workflow capabilities enhance collaboration and integration between development and production teams. However, development features could improve. I haven't used similar solutions before IBM Rational ALM.
Technical Lead at Microgenesis Techsoft Private limited4.5<p>I recommend IBM Rational ALM to clients after thorough R&amp;D, ensuring stability and performance improvements. However, greater third-party integration, UI enhancements, and built-in reporting customization are needed for a more user-friendly experience without relying on external tools.</p>
Senior Architect at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5I use IBM Rational ALM for end-to-end development solutions with a valuable global configuration feature. However, it needs to be more lightweight by removing unused features. Overall, it's effective without considering alternate solutions or specific cloud providers.
