Test Manager at a engineering company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Intuitive enough and easy to learn, but in terms of folder organization, it could be better
Inflectra SpiraTest is the new kid on the block compared to Jira and Azure. Still, when I started exploring the tool, I realized that it was no different from other tools I've used in the past, but it all boils down to adaptability because the features would always be more or less the same. I found Inflectra SpiraTest intuitive enough. It's also easy to learn, so this is what I like about it.
Juergen Albrecht - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director at CCC Systems Engineering Suisse GmbH
Has required better change management and easier tool integration but supports certification needs and strong collaboration
The visualization tools are nearly similar, so it does not matter if you use DNG or even Jama Connect, but at Jama Connect, the selection and setup for running complex scripts is very powerful and fast compared to IBM, which is sometimes very slow due to the complex software which has lost focus on usability. The collaboration capabilities of Jama Connect are fantastic, and when comparing IBM, PTC, and Jama Connect, they are nearly equal because all three have recognized the importance of collaboration in today's work environment. The feature that I really appreciate about Jama Connect is its allowance for certifications through the FAA and FDA organizations in the US, which in the past was not possible for smaller companies because larger ones, such as Boeing and Airbus, often advised against using unapproved tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Senior management cares about where we are. They don’t have time to look at a lot of data. SpiraTest provided good visibility at a high level looking at where things were."
"It has helped our company to centralise our testing efforts and create better visibility into our testing."
"It's a good product with an exceptionally low cost."
"Instead of IBM or HP tools, SpiraTest has affordable prices and support."
"With this tool, we were able to make our software testing life cycle more efficient as well as create more transparency."
"Over time and further upgrades these have improved."
"This is the biggest plus; for the whole time I was using SpiraTest, I had an impression of being the only customer which counts."
"For the price, this is a very simple solution, with limited functionality, that will definitely improve any department still using spreadsheets as their documentation."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"Support has been excellent - an advantage of working with a somewhat smaller vendor interested in making users successful."
"I can say that we enjoy Jama Connect."
"In Jama Connect, users have the capability to view and manage all test cases directly within the platform and execute them. The entire product specification, spanning various domains such as electrical, mechanical, software, and testing, is consolidated within Jama Connect."
"Jama helped our employees, mostly software engineers, to be more aware of where the requirements are and how to determine them, making the visibility more clear so we can better fulfill international standards in our line of work."
"You can get full traceability with any other system. It also includes a test module, and you build the traceability matrix incrementally throughout the development process."
"This solution seems to be the most complete product and it has the requirements management part, which is really mature."
"The relationship mapping feature is especially helpful, as it allows us to connect different requirements and compliance-related documentation."
 

Cons

"I was not that impressed with the test case creation, but it did give good metrics of number of completion, not completed, on hold or defects."
"The user interface is slightly complicated and not very consistent. It could be more user friendly."
"Migrating is not very easy. It depends on the organization, how efficient and effective the decision-making process is. The plug-ins should be easier and more integrated rather than the user trying to integrate the tools which are more popular, like Jira et al."
"However, when you need to apply a change to a workflow which is used in multiple projects, you need to modify the projects one by one."
"Yes, I noticed in my previous job, as one generates many test reports, database access becomes very slow to the point of being unusable."
"There have been sporadic DB errors related to performance."
"Customizing test reports seems to be something one must have (or gain) expertise in."
"It's low score is mainly because of the problems with the user interface, usability and lack of user guidance - meaning that tool has no predefined way of work."
"I have inquired about pricing for this solution but have not yet heard anything, so their response time in this regard is something that should be improved."
"The user interface could be modernized and the product lacks project management functionalities."
"t is rather slow, so the speed of the process and consuming information should be improved. It doesn't have a nice way of viewing information. We would like to see better interfaces for consuming information."
"The initial setup could be better, it's complicated."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"We did have some issues of scalability issues early on. I believe we pushed the envelope on numbers of test cases, and did suffer some performance issues, and outages in effect."
"I believe one of the weak points is the reporting side."
"There are a few areas where Jama Connect can improve. One suggestion is to enhance the built-in feature of profile generation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I Googled the pricing for Inflectra SpiraTest, and it's about $4,000 annually."
"The pricing was excellent. I would recommend the enterprise solution."
"The cost seems very competitive with other offerings."
"If you want to have creative licenses, pricing may be an issue with the licenses, as it can become quite expensive over time to serve many people."
"To have a single source for all the requirements and all the change requests our company gets is the most valuable feature. It has also helped us to keep track of reviews."
"Jama Connect is a little pricy."
