I would say 8/10 although we are not using all areas of SpiraPlan (we use requirements, test management, product risk management and a bit of the document management). We use only the product level, not the portfolio or product group level. Also, we didn't use AI features yet.
Pro's: - Very easy to set up - Item workflow rules are completely and easily configurable (custom fields, state, state transitions, notifications) - Stable and relatively fast - Incredibly flexible reporting mechanism - Connectivity with a lot of other products - 'Best buy' solution compared to other comparable products
Cons: - No integrated development module for custom reports, and no version management for reporting templates. - Reporting based on old technology (XSLT 1, Entity SQL) + familiarity with these technologies needed to get the best report customizations. - No easy possibility for 'branching' (or merging) artifacts

The accuracy of the suggested test cases and steps for my specific requirements is not all the time, but if an AI tool suggests test cases that are most times 90% accurate, then that is a great tool for me. Inflectra SpiraPlan has other features including detailed reporting and dashboards, customizable workflows, integration with other tools such as Jira, automated test management, and release planning. I would emphasize the integrated workflows because it makes it easy for traceability. In terms of metrics, a lot of time is saved. Something that takes days, for instance, if we have eight hours a day to work with for five days to finish a project, using Inflectra SpiraPlan, we get to finish our tasks or project within three hours instead of five or eight hours a day. This makes workflow very easy and we get to hit our target before the estimated time. Since using Inflectra SpiraPlan, we only need to hire fewer resources because it makes the job easy. Before, separate people would write requirements and another would work on test cases, but with Inflectra SpiraPlan, it really makes it easy. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Inflectra SpiraPlan a 10.
