IBM Rational ClearQuest Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Software Developer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees4.5I find ClearQuest's adaptable state machine and powerful API valuable for automation and integration, despite its lack of a modern web interface. It has served my organization for over five years.
Senior Software Engineer at a engineering company with 10,001+ employees2.5I value its workflow for tracking assets and change requests, though I am frustrated by its high cost and lack of data types. Despite adequate support, I would not recommend this expensive solution to others.
Splunk SME and DevOps Expert at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees3.5I found this tool highly customizable and very stable, supporting large teams well. However, the user interface was static, needing more dynamic and lightweight web forms for a better user experience.
Senior Manager of Infrastructure at a retailer with 10,001+ employees4.0I have used this product for 10 years, finding it highly scalable, easy to customize, and cost-effective with great support. It simplified our forms migration, though the UI could be more modern.
