What do you like best about IBM Engineering Workflow Management?

The dashboards and GUI produced as a result of IBM RTC Tool are very easy to understand, loved by Senior Management for the various detailed versions (cuts of data) that can be viewed by them. Widgets can summarize the data very well. Reduced management risk - By continuously integrating your system, you know exactly how much functionality that you have built to date. Provides high visibility into project activities and team progress, thus enhancing team collaboration with integrated features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Workflow Management?

A bit difficult for new users to understand as they can get easily inundated and confused with the User Interface. A good deal of navigation and hands-on required before anyone can begin to understand the system. There can be difficulty with transferring data between the server and the client such a timeouts, out of memory errors or general slowness Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Engineering Workflow Management:

A little more hands on with the tool will help you understand the tool better, resulting in better use of the tool. Takes a little understanding and detailed analysis to navigate the tool for the first few times, but just like any other tools once you get a hang of it, its quite a good tool to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Engineering Workflow Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were trying to build the Resource Management capability for the program. Earlier we were using SharePoint Lists to manage this, but it was a task to prepare graphical representations of the data for over 5000+ resources in addition to manually editing the details in SharePoint. This tool helped us with easy GUI creation and management of resource data was a breeze thereafter. Very good graphics, great UI features that allows to produce customized data sets to be displayed as a final result to the end user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next?

I like that it's able to link up with HP ALM, our test management tool and generate trace matrices. It's quite comprehensive and has a lot of options to customize and generate the reports we need for documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next?

I don't like the GUI and the learning curve to set up and eventually generate trace matrices is quite difficult. The process is not intuitive and there is a lot of room for mistakes so that you'll end up guessing what you did wrong when modules don't link up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
