What differentiates Rally Software from other similar products?

It's simple to use, with several direct links to manage and track sprints, tasks, and user stories, among other things. It also has the ability to modify the dashboard. We also use Clarity to track time, and because rally integrates well with Clarity, we don't have to manually fill out timesheets in Clarity; simply log your work in rally by completing tasks, and it will appear in Clarity.

ersatility and ease of use for enterprise-wide project management

What do you dislike most about this product?

It lacks some of the more advanced functionality found in competitors such as JIRA. Workflows, for example, are not very resilient.
