ReqSuite RM Reviews

We chose ReqSuite® RM due to the great UX which offers a high flexibility.

In addition, the very good personal support before, during and after on-boarding made the configuring the tool according to your own needs pleasant and easy.

Actually, nothing. The usage is straight forward, it covers everything you need, to addressed problems or feature requests, the ReqSuite® RM team responds quickly and implements it.

We manage our requirements during the product lifecycle with ReqSuite® RM, starting from the very beginning. Thanks to the tool, we are able to determine much faster which implications changes in the requiremtens have and to estimate more precisely, which necessary effort is coming with it.

Very intuitive and easy to use.

Very good import & export and generation of automated documents.

Excellent support.

Not yet used by too many companies. Would be good to spread the usige even wider in industries.

Tracabilty, Easy creation of requirements

The personal support during and after the on-boarding process makes it quite easy to configure the tool as the process requires.

The UX is outstanding for a tool that offers that kind of flexibility and was the key aspect why we chose ReqSuite.

Almost nothing is missing and the usage is straight forward. Sometimes a little bit more formatting would be usefull, but that's not mission critical.

With ReqSuite RM we manage our requirements during the product lifecycle. By using the ReqSuite we are able to determine much faster which implication any change in requiremtens has. This helps us to be more precise in estimate the necessary effort and to not forget some change.

It is an adaptive tool which can be tailored to the specific needs of the company. Further the UI is very intuitive and saved a lot of time while introducing colleagues to the tool. Existing requirements can be reused by linking and not only by copying which is very helpful. The support of Osseno is very good, the communication is professional, open and friendly. Requests are processed and questions answered directly or later via email.

The great flexibility of the tool by defining the data model by the company itself (with the help of Osseno if needed), the support of ReqIF, the versioning feature and the intuitive user interface made it the right decision for our company. Overall we are very pleased with the tool and can recommend it.

Not really anything, the reuse of data models could be further improved and the Word export further adapted with more small filters

We use ReqSuite RM for development projects: from usecases and system specification to requirements reuse, regulatory status report and process monitoring during product development.

ReqSuite RM is our single point of truth and helpd us to overcome the distributed process we had before with multiple word files, excel tables and meeting notes.

Further it helped to further define our development process and keep us in line with it.

Flexibility of the tool, highly configurable and the support. There is a followup on the questions, the vendor reach out regularly to ensure the tool is aligned with the customer needs.

The API is basic, I would like more granularity for tighter integration with other products

The UI can be rough on the edges, but there has been improvements every release

ReqSuite is used by us to keep the tracebility between the business expectations and the vendor realiszation. We have defined and refined the business expactation through multiple levels of requirement defintion. Also the link with the architectural components is kept to ensure a tight consistency on the responsibility.

We tested some other RM-tools and ReqSuite was really outstanding:

ReqSuite is easy to learn by the user. After only one hour (if it all) of teaching the UI of the software and another hour or two of teaching our customized configuration the users were able to start using the tool. After a few ours of learning by doing ReqSuite faded into the background and the users could concentrate on the content. Feedback of all our users was that then ReqSuite brings effiency and transparency into requirements management.

The initial setup of the configuration was done by the very supportive team of OSSENO after a number of workshops. For us administrators it was then easy to adapt the configuration. If we faced any problems we got immedialtely help from OSSENO. Specially for best practises their experience in systems engineering and requirements management from their past jobs was priceless.

Very helpful to get started was that Reqsuite can be SAAS or installed on premise and that it comes with a JIRA-interface.

Not really much, because all is straight forward and nothing critical is missing. Only the visual representation of the traces could be improved, but even this is not really worth complaining.

Before ReqSuite we had had different documents for use cases, requirements, specifications, verifications, change requests etc. with manually copy&paste from one to another. Now we have a single source for all the content of the mentioned documents. Also the contents are now interconnected. This brings much more transperancy and reliability into the content and makes development much easier.

ReqSuite RM is simple to understand and use, yet flexible enough to adapt to our needs. The capability to define our custom project template and extend it as our business evolves was just what we needed.

Also, exporting requirements to custom formats in Excel and JIRA are beneficial features.

The licensing model allows us to integrate ReqSuite RM in our processes gradually without breaking the bank.

Word export is quite capable, but it takes a bit of hit & miss to get it working, and formatting is inflexible. We would like to see a more integrated approach, e.g., the possibility to define report scopes and use field reference tags in a freely formatted document section.

We use ReqSuite RM for project scoping and specification, requirements reuse, and initial estimation. ReqSuite RM removes much of the hassle and leaves us more time to focus on creating value for our customers.

ReqSuite RM is a very powerful modeling tool that allows you to define everything in its universe in all the artifacts that are used and very importantly the relationships between them. This flexibility makes it very unrestricted in its uses. For example, you can go beyond modeling just requirements and use-cases by moving along the "chain" of artifacts in either direction, and add artifacts such as "project or program deliverables", that can then be linked to a "business case" or "business strategy" artifact. At the other end of the chain you can add the artifacts like "software modules" or "processes" that satisfy the requirements. Much of this flexibility is down to ReqSuite's unique architecture that is based on a Hierarchical Structure (decomposition) rather than a time-based which is predominant with competitive software. This subtle difference is game changing because the focus is on "what you deliver" rather than "when you deliver". This allows you to view and model projects differently from a deliverable perspective, so all the artifacts decompose from main project deliverable. Finally ReqSuite's has advanced features like the AI supported intelligent assistance that takes the tool to a new level by raising the bar on the quality of the artifacts. For example, how a requirement is written by highlighting ambiguities, inconsistencies, commonalities between two, and other grey areas.

Not much it really covers all the basics so well like full traceability (along the V-Model from requirements to test cases), impact analysis (of changes), automatic versioning, structure and overview based on underlying data-model. It potentially could have advanced features like copying sections of existing templates into new templates, so models can be copied in, but that is in an upcoming release.

ReqSuite's flexibility allows it to be applied to a variety of different environments whether project or product based to solve many problems, and this is reflected by ReqSuite's diverse customer base across many industries. ReqSuite's flexibility solves numerous problems in projects, whether the project is SLDC or COTs, Waterfall or Agile, V-Model, with the focus on managing artifacts and deliverables. The benefits of this flexibility has allowed us to design and build solutions that support Program and Project Management (PPM), Project Management Office (PMO), and executing Organizational Change Management (OCM). ReqSuite also allows logic to be added and with that you can quickly create different models within a solution that can perform complex analysis (change impact and stakeholders, risk, and benefits realization). This has allowed us to design and build solutions that for example issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and evaluate vendor responses for software modules. We also have used ReqSuite to introduce standards (industry, product specific, or PMO) into a project and link artifacts to standards, so that if these standards change a notification is sent to the owner of the artifact (like a requirement) that action needs to be taken. In summary, the flexibility of ReqSuite is its most powerful feature and greatest benefit to organizations using it.

The reason my company chose to use ReqSuite RM was because of the flexibility it provides. ReqSuite RM makes it easy to tailor catagoriess, relationships, attributes, and workflows to be specific to each project.The interface is also easy to read and inuitive. The ReqSuite team has also been very helpful in making sure we have been taking full advantage of all the features of the platform.

I can't think of anything. This has been an all-around been a great platform to use.

ReqSuite RM has been useful for creating requirements for the different projects we work on and updating those requirements as needed.

*extremely good, extremely dedicated support

Export - Import, API interfaces partly still not very user-friendly, not easy to understand or functional
