Jama Connect Reviews
Pros
I am an admin and active user and I love this product. I cant do my job without it.
Overall experience using Jama Connect has been really good. I would definitely recommend it to my colleagues.
The major selling point was the ability to store and create your own field level data and we have taken advantage of that in spades. This alone has saved us hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Is amazing how well it performs. It's not a heavy application.
Cons
The text editor can be a little difficult for a first time user and can be made more intuitive. Filtering can be made more convenient to use.
It is different than other document software so some people have a hard time learning it.
A bit sluggish at times. If you do not have enterprise license then it will limit the number of users who can stay logged in together.
If you need a requirement management tool, look no further than Contour.

"Jama Connect Review"
Overall: Overall experience using Jama Connect has been really good. I would definitely recommend it to my colleagues.

"Mark's Jama Review"
Overall: I prefer this SaaS over others in this category
Pros: comfortable, intuitive navigation through the menus/screens
Cons: A little intimidating for 1st time users
"Jama Review from a True User"
Pros: Web-based and much cheaper option than DOORS. Learning curve is really flat. No need for professional IT engineers to maintain the system
Cons: Data export an import extremely not convenient. Now only support export to excel. After excel export, the sheet is not the same format as seen in Jama and it takes me long time to reformat the sheet in excel. 3rd party tools integration is not ideal, like the support to EA, Github,...

"Good choice for requirement management"
Overall: Good product but loading and navigation issues
Pros: 1. I have been using Jama for over one and half years. The good thing about JAMA is all the requirements are systematically placed in JAMA. Its search option is good. By typing any keyword, all the related requirements get listed below. 2. I liked the requirement review facility in Jama. All the comments are well preserved. By going through them, I can ensure whether any comments are still open. It helps in tracking the closure of all questions/comments raised during requirement review. 3. Notification service of JAMA is quite good
Cons: 1. I felt that loading and navigation of Jama needs to be improved. Sometimes the delay is quite noticeable. 2. Though the homepage contains all important information, little improvement in look and feel of GUI can make it more attractive. 3. There should be auto login in Jama using windows login password like other software I use. Every time I have to manually give windows login/password to enter Jama

"I use Jama daility and love it"
Overall: I am an admin and active user and I love this product! I cant do my job without it!
Pros: Tracks my requirements, helps collaborate with other engineers on requirements, the Jama Reviews and change process is easy to implement and use. They also added e-signatures for approvers which has been key in baselining requirements.
Cons: Its hard to separate admin access from create access, though recently Jama implemented changes to admin usage and its helped. The baselining feature is not strong either, rather, items are baselined per review regardless of approvals and rejections.
