What differentiates Jama Connect from other similar products?

So far I have only tried JAMA Connect but I can definitely say that I am satisfied with the features that JAMA Connect provides so far. Ease of traceability, coverage analysis, easy to modify and add item types helps a lot with different types of customer based projects. Review center is very customizable as well where the downstream and upstream items are easily available for review. This really helps during the verification review by the customer where each test case is verifying a requirement.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspects of JAMA Connect are the version control, history, and relationship rules (which ultimately helps me define the traceability). The ease of creating different relationship rules considering the type of projects I am involved in makes it very personalized and helps prevent tackiness.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The lack of attachments integration during review is somewhat a discomfort at the moment. But I am sure people at JAMA Connect are working on that solution.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Trying out the all the features on a creator license is the best way to explore every feature. If convincing the colleagues at your organization, let them try out at creators as well.

Pros

Trustworthy
