We performed a comparison between Codebeamer and Rally Software based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution easily replaces IBM DOORS, which no longer offers maintenance in China."
"The platform provided the flexibility to expand our business processes, accommodating or altering them to suit the requirements of a changing environment."
"You can track the metrics in the Agile dashboard very easily."
"It is a stable solution."
"There is a lot of complexity involved, meaning it can do many things, which can be quite useful."
"Since implementing this solution we have better communication and information exchange with customers."
"One of the most valuable features of Codebeamer is its strong performance."
"Codebeamer's API-based integration and many other integration aspects with other solutions are very powerful."
"My teams uses it for their daily agile management. They describe their user stories and track the progress of their projects."
"With this product, searching for historical information or the evolution of the requirement, detecting conflict between projects has helped a lot."
"When we went into Scaled Agile Framework, we could not have done it without the use of Agile Central. It allows us to scale our Scrum teams, and it also enables us when we do our remote big room plannings."
"I was able to create epics for our budgeting concerns and it helped me link everything together."
"Rally Software provides the capability to accurately estimate the time required for building large software projects, which can be challenging to predict...Rally Software enables us to schedule tasks better, allocate resources, and meet project deadlines."
"Ease of use - I don't even know when a new release is coming and I don't need to because it's so easy to use what's new."
"The metrics - collecting metrics. It's because we've used several other tools in the past, and they don't give you a full indication of how well your teams are performing, at a portfolio level, at a product level, and at the team level."
"The effect of these kind of tools drives the way you organize things. It helps you shape the way you flow."
"During migrations from other platforms to CodeBeamer, there have been instances where we encountered issues that required redoing certain tasks."
"Certain areas in Codebeamer could be improved, like addressing small issues, glitches, or bugs."
"We would like to see more industry-specific features that are tailored to the vertical markets."
"It's still a fairly new tool that lacks maturity right now."
"I would like to see more, easily trackable reports."
"The product's UI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be helpful if Codebeamer's overall processing and integration with software like Jira could be improved."
"The solution has a very small market share in China. It's almost like a startup."
"More customization capabilities would be helpful. Providing a little bit more structure around how the system should be set up in terms of the hierarchy structure might be helpful as well."
"It is hard to track the changes. For example, we're in sprint 25, and then we have 26, 27, 28, and 29. Throughout that whole time, we're developing pipelines in Azure, moving to GitHub, creating pipelines, and working with teams. But sometimes, we need to revisit specific decisions made in previous sprints, like pipeline details. Maybe it's in our Azure Wiki, GitHub, or Teams, but it's not always consistent. I wish I could search for all tasks or stories related to that particular effort without needing to know everyone's individual stories or features."
"In terms of improvement, perhaps some more metrics. If they could add some additional, that would be cool."
"I wish there was a view, like the Kanban view, where you could see the parent, and see all the children visually, so you could drag and drop where you want it to go. Something like that might help."
"We'd like better dashboards to make visibility better."
"In Rally Software, the connection with GitLab and GitHub needs improvement."
"CA Agile Central does not have a workflow tool included."
"It's a bit cumbersome to manage the Project Picker. As we sunset teams or projects close out - but we still have test cases tied to those teams or projects that are being used in other spaces - we have this monstrous list in the Project Picker that becomes really difficult to manage and find, and we can't clean that up ourselves. It would be nice if it was easier to do that and not lose your history."
