Built-in project management modules simplify processes while compatibility improvements are needed

Codebeamer could improve its customization capabilities and integration options. For instance, older versions of PDM Windchill face compatibility issues with newer versions of Codebeamer, requiring users to downgrade Codebeamer to establish integration. The installation on Linux can be tricky, and backward compatibility needs enhancement. Also, Codebeamer struggles with some DevOps integrations and lacks AI features for enhanced user assistance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable aspect is the integration with third-party tools, as we don't have to use different tools to start from the stakeholder requirements down to subsystems."

"The traceability is so simple that I don't need to do any additional configurations related to traceability."

"Codebeamer is user-friendly"

"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."

"The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."

"Other benefits observed from using Codebeamer include its excellent release management and access management features."

"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."

"It is a stable solution."

More Codebeamer pros

"We increased our development and testing team velocity, were able to manage traceability, and deliver software faster."

"Wide range of adapters/connectors which allow connectivity to any tools."

Cons

"Usability needs to be improved."

"Codebeamer could improve its customization capabilities and integration options."

"What is really disappointing is that some features which have been promised for years are still not mature enough to use."

"There should be more integration tools available. Although Codebeamer has a substantial amount of integration options with multiple tools, new technologies and software constantly emerge."

"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."

"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The primary challenge is adapting the standard product to our workflows and specific needs."

"One improvement could be to reduce the system or server requirements. For a client with a medium configuration server, Codebeamer did not work initially until the system was upgraded."

More Codebeamer cons

"Needs an easier and less heavy UI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonably priced and in accordance with the industry standards."

"Codebeamer is not a cheap solution."

"Pricing is good when compared to similar ALM solutions."

"They're not the most expensive product on the market, but they're not the cheapest either — I'd say codeBeamer ALM is moderately priced."
