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

The fact that DNG is web-based and cloud-based is already a major improvement over legacy DOORS. I find the user interface more intuitive than legacy DOORS. There is a strong online community for help and support. IBM has been fairly responsive to our problem reports. Using custom reports created with Rational Publishing Engine, we have been able to produce well formatted documents that are deliverable to our client with very little manual formatting to do outside of DNG. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Complex Boolean filters that existed in legacy DOORS are missing from DNG. The commenting feature is half-baked, for example, comments on an artifact disappear when the artifact is removed from a module, and comments cannot easily be exported from DNG. Even at version 6.0.4., there are still some user interface bugs, such as the page not displaying properly after scrolling quickly. There is no way to export the comparison between two baselines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next:

Whether you should choose DNG over another vendor's requirements management product or not I cannot say. However, legacy DOORS was the industry leader for RM, and I recommend DNG over legacy DOORS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next solving and how is that benefiting you?

DNG is a solid requirements management tool. Although it has some issues that I mentioned above, legacy DOORS also has different issues. I would certainly choose DNG over legacy DOORS to manage requirements, whether for a program, project, system, software, or hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alessandra Andrade of IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next

Thank you for sharing your feedback on IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next. We understand your concerns about missing features and user interface bugs, and we are continuously working to improve the platform.

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

DNG has an intuitive web interface, with project data organized in a structured hierarchy. It's easy to filter, search and identify inter-dependencies of project artifacts. The storyboard capabilities and graphical link explorer facilitate excellent requirements elicitation. The capabilities it brings to the Requirements Management solution via Collections and Modules are indispensable for efficient requirements management solution both for Software and Systems Development teams. It's definitely a happy marriage between RequisitePro and Legacy Doors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

None. I would be inclined to say cost of ownership and maintenance, but measuring the improved efficiencies of teams and the overall improvement in the quality of the product and/or systems develop it outweighs it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about IBM Engineering Test Management?

Most important thing for RQM is it can connect to automation test system,, and run automatic test scripts, produce automation test report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Engineering Test Management?

When you open a defect link in a test case, it will jump to RTC web page, and close current test case web page, which is quite bad for you to analyse the defect related with the corresponding test case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It records all the details of test process, the status of test cases, such as no run, failed, blocked, pass. Also it provides linking to requirement and defect which is quite good for tracking issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next:

make a good plan and goals what you want to achieve using this product

hire external consultant who have experiences with implementation of this product

you need to have support contract it is very complex architecture of this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next solving and how is that benefiting you?

In R&D we write huge FSS documents where we put all requirement demands. Problem was, that a lot of same demands (for example for protocols) reappear in all this documents, which could be more than 100 pages long. Work and development process was not optimal

We use Doors Next generation to avoid writing such documents, now we write requirements and use re-use of requirements if they appear in multiple products or features. We have now also very good requirement traceaability and relation with test patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alessandra Andrade of IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next

We're sorry to hear about the challenges you've experienced with the complexity of the tool and its heavy demands on the server. We appreciate your recommendations for others considering IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next, and we will take them into consideration for future improvements.
