you can start with RTC in 1 day - basic installation very simple, no need administration for "out of the box" use. Web interface and Eclipse plug-in - you can choose what you like more or use both. Many integrations with other popular tools (GIT, Jenkins, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GUI is not so easy as I like. And RTC has too many features for small teams. For a few process configuration tasks you can't use both web or eclipse GUI - you must know which one you should use. Some important (for us and other customer) features waiting for years after we submit it as enhancement on jazz.net. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Work items with flexible process flows, reviews, approvals, discussions features captured / bundled at a single place.
Easy to get the complete information of the work item with the history how it evolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The work item is a static page, built with the process flows, set of attributes as per the work item design. End user does not have option to improve the work items sometimes which is dynamic in nature.
Example in automobile industry - Vehicle development, there are few cases that the systems/ECU's (Electronic control unit) can get added up due to the market scenarios, competition, technology advancements. As per my initial requirements I might have 15 ECUs, due to market scenarios, now I might need to increase few more systems / ECUs I'm my RTC project area to accommodate the new systems, which currently the admin can only do it to enhance the attribute enumeration literals, meaning dynamic addition by the user is not available.
Other scenarios - In project planning with tasks. Each task is managed as an single work item, if I need create sub tasks under it, then I need create as child tasks linked to the main task work item as parent. If there is a option for parent task to hold sub tasks within the same work item and also provides the lifecycle status of tasks and sub tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Definitely the customization; there are many a number of ways to represent information from Rational Rhapsody/DOORs, and RPE is a good tool to produce reports that are not necessarily found out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A pretty steep learning curve, definitely not for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I live the ease and variety of tools you can use with IBM rational. I can also save to multiple formats that are helpful for variety on which format a client prefers. One of my favourite features is how I can extract data to not only save me time but increase accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide range of features supporting multi-disciplinary interests (testing, development, planning, security) for a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
UI is buggy and takes a while to figure out the workarounds. Tries to be modern but the behavior is clearly missing real-world user feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It provides change and configuration management activities which ensure the linking between these two inter-related things. it helps release managers to deal with change items like tasks and defects rather spend hours in figuring out which configuration they should include in build. Also provide out of the box SAFe template which can provide good start for SAFe implementation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Integration with Visual Studio is not that great. Furthermore licenses are too expensive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
