Sr. Configuration Analyst at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Has helped us track the application flow across each of our environments, promotion from dev to our higher environments, to production.

One feature that we are looking for is traceability, and also merging. That is a little cumbersome right now. We have provided our feedback to their representatives so they can provide us a good merging capability next time. One thing that I would like to improve is making the tool a little more user friendly. It takes a little bit of time to adjust to the tool because it's a little different than other version control tools out there in the market. But, it has its own benefits and own security, but that user experience, if they're going to improve it, that would be really great.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The ability to give our teams functionality from a control perspective, allowing them to decide how they want to implement the tool, is valuable."

"Using this solution, we were able to implement a full process for all of our lifecycles."

"Agile templates give us a standard methodology for every Agile project. Also, the ability to create our own object types and linkages to features/epics allows us to enhance the verification of feature readiness."

"The most valuable features of the solution are highly customizable reports and visibility for all the higher management."

"The tool provides traceability and reporting, which are important for compliance and measuring progress."

"We can track the status of test cases (passed or saved) in a single view. Based on releases and other attributes, we generate various reports and extract metrics from the data."

"Work distribution among team members and accountability for completion with a clearer picture."

"The best features of this solution are its task management capabilities and integration options, and IBM Engineering Workflow Management provides excellent flexibility and collaborative tools."

"It was an all-in-one solution for source code, integrated source control, defect tracking, and project planning."

"Traceability reporting is inbuilt and includes all your requirements."

Cons

"Technical support for this solution is very good, although they can still use improvement in some regards."

"Security features can be improved."

"Password complexity is not enforced by the tool."

"If you have multiple projects on one server, the tool becomes very slow, and some reports take longer to load."

"The solution is very heavily vendor dependent."

"I would rate the IBM Engineering Workflow Management a seven or an eight. I am leaning closer to seven based on a couple of items I mentioned that I would like to see or know more about, such as improved reporting."

"Lacks ability to customize and reporting can be slow."

"It's becoming less relevant. For example, Maven has evolved, and in its later versions, there are plugins for integrating with source control systems, such as Git-based systems. Support for these plugins is diminishing."

"Some administrative tasks are difficult to perform. These could be simplified."

"Teams need clearer pictures of resource availability in charts and dashboards along with plans."

"We have encountered issues with stability. We have seen where the entire system kind of goes for a toss when certain people use certain types of queries, which are very costly. Then the system kind of slows down a bit, and we have to monitor it."

More IBM Engineering Workflow Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once you purchase your licenses, there is maintenance support that is renewed every year."

"I've heard IBM Engineering Workflow Management is more expensive than other tools."

"It is not a free tool. We use a token-based licensing model, which is specific to IBM. The cost per token is around $115-$120."

"It's an expensive investment to make, so the decision should be driven on individual requirements."

"Licensing: The solution cost is high and should be brought down to increase competition."
