codeBeamer ALM Reviews

Very flexible and easy to use

Good scalability and usability

Very good import/export capabilities

Strong tracing and traceability browsing capabilities - allows tracing across the full V-model

The tool itself has been certified for safety critical development by Tuv Sud

Solution templates allow teams to get started quickly.

Their Review Hub feature could make reviewing comments on sets of requirements easier to do

PTC is still in the process of integrating Codebeamer into its product line up

Codebeamer provides visibility across the development lifecycle, from requirements, through design to verification and hazard analysis.

Greatly simplifies traceability management.

Most of ALM solution have common functionality, however rich UX and completeness in the solution is provided by Codebeamer. Covering entire engineering V cycle.

ReviewHub needs improvements to consider multiple type of review neccessary in the software development

Entire lifecycle tracebility across engineering V cycle is key, the solution provided by Codebeamer really eligent benefiting easy compliances involved in NPD

One of the best ALM product in the market, The tool provides lot of flexibility in setting up the ALM lifecycle. The tool has features to connect any other application which is a plus and needs very less customisation to set up the ALM Lifecycle

The Template process is still evolving, We believe this will be addressed in the forthcoming versions. Also Read Write replica could help the next gen architectures

The entire Requirement Management, test Management and Configutaion management is software lfecycle is handled perfectly

codebeamer has putting requirements, testing, development, etc. into one project management, with good traceability and traceability matrix, simple and efficient UI, friendly learning curve, easier approval process

Some of the underlying logic is a little hard to understand, very fine granularity of permissions configuration and complex configuration logic, Jenkins plugins have not been updated for too long

Native support for Gitlab and GitHub integration, in line with the current technology stack of software-intensive teams such as smart driving and smart cockpit

Supports direct test case generation through requirements, and can directly generate statistical reports on test case coverage, and supports intelligent export of bi-directional test documents

Support custom report generation, and support independent report management outside the project, cross-project report generation, timed report delivery and report review

High openness for rapid integration with development tool chains

Support advanced project management methods, such as large-scale agile, Scrum, not just traditional WBS-based project management, and allow users to choose flexibly; allow both traditional views of project management, such as Gantt charts, and the latest software engineering practices, such as Kanban, in line with the future trend of software development practices

Codebeamer is easy to use and easy implementation of project. The customer support is very nice. Easy for integration of modules.

Nothing to dislike in codebeamer as it gives easiness.

Codebeamer is solving all requirements, risk, and test management capabilities for us.

Eeasy to implement, very useful, useful in integration.

All ok, nothing to dislike inn code beamer.

An agile life cycle manegmemt solution or distributed development.

End to end traceability

Extension and Integration possibilities

PTC support

Continuously evolving and improving

Some features such as Requirement Re-use are still not strongly integrated

End to End Integration, Offer customization possibilities

A user-friendly tool that allows different configurations of project workflows and settings of work items, and at the same time ensuring bidirectional traceability.

Offering many options sometimes takes time to set everything up in the right way.

Provides coverage of the steps required by the requirements management process.

Flexibility

Easy of use

Complete configurability

Strong import/export capabilities

Strong tracing and linkage capabilities

Validation packs for high-integrity systems (e.g. medical devices) availble

Templates available to quickly get started from scratch with development according to a standard or process

Good rich-text (WYSIWYG) editor, switchable to powerful mark-up language supporting things like Latex for equations.

Very powerful REST API

Interface can be slow until caches are built up

Review system could be better, missing simple features like scrolling through the list of requirements to see what comments have been added

Draw.io plug-in for the editor is an old version and is missing a lot of features, causing usability problems with diagrams.

PTC are still getting used to owning Codebeamer which causes a slow response for purchasing and licensing issues and tech support is patchy while they go through this transition.

We need an ALM tool capable of working with us (rather than against us) for a highly complex medical device development, across all disciplines from human factors to mechanical, electronics and software as well as risk. The thoroughly integrated and traceable approach, with a powerful and programmable export facility, allows us to achieve this very efficiently.

It is best for application lifecycle management, Requirements management, Software development, QA & test management, Demand management, Risk management, etc.

All application runs well, nothing is dislikeable about Codebeamer.
