What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Valispace is very easy to use. Even the "admin" space is not that much of complexity. In the past, I used other requirement capturing tool which was way more complex.

The flexibility of Valispace is also a plus. I can have any field I require and can easily implent with "few" clicks.

I am working with hardware, and having an abstraction view using the components module makes the process of requirements capturing less painful.

Imports and exports to Excel-based documents is quite easy and straight forward.

Technical support is awsome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

I am missing a straight forward way to use templates.

I am missing a simple way to have a FMEA implemented in the system.

Some modifications in my data requires a refresh of the broser after performing them. This is anoying and unrelyable.

I am missing a integration with FMEA/FuSa tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Valispace is integrating tools, location, files related with requirements in a single platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Valispace is a great tool for system engineering. It is easy to use and implement in your pipeline and is made according to industry standards. We use it daily mainly for our requirement management and as a single point of truth for our technical budgets. Those two features are great! The AI tool to help you redact requirements is also an asset as it help you spend less time on the redaction while focusing on the true value of the requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

There is still work to be done on the user interface to make it user-friendly. It can be slow sometimes and not easy to handle, sometimes also too constraining. It could be improved by giving more freedom to the user. Even if they are great ideas, we are not using some features because of that like document writing and the test features. If it was more versatile and stable it could avoid us using other tools for the rest of our work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a single point of truth for both requirement and MBSE that are linked together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Valispace is an intuitive tool for the project develop, in particular focused principally on the requirements managment but not only. It is possible to define it a sort of System Engineering tool, where it is possible to develop simulations, priliminary budget and mange the requirements from the first relase to the verification Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

It has not major weaknesses. Sometimes some little bugs could be detected but the Customer Care resolve any issue in a very short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is possible to manage the requirements in an esay way and it is possible to share the requirements with the teams, discuss on that, create new tag, create new fields basing on the Customer needs.

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

What I appreciate most about Valispace is that it serves as a collaborative platform where you can calculate and store your project engineering data, manage requirements, perform simulations, documentations, and also store testing procedures and test runs, all in one system engineering tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

What is currently less useful is the Time Sequences module, which has limited utility in the design phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Valispace primarily addresses the challenging issue of internally reviewing requirements within the company and especially with the client. Without Valispace, this process would be much longer and more difficult, risking the loss of information on requirement traceability and history (change log). Valispace streamlines this review, aids in the verification process, and connects it to the design values of your product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

1. customer support is outstanding!

2.very easy to use!!

3. all the requirements and system specs are in one place.

4. ability to export the data into documents easily, for example creating a verification control document.

5. ability to manage V&V and verify from within the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

1. Not supporting teams working on multiple deployments and deployment types.

2. The verification assignment view should support populating the text field of each verification method per requirement.

4. The ability to tie a verification of a requirement to an event of the project, for example Req#114: verified by test at CDR.

5. Training tutorials should be updated ASAP to represent the new interface of Valispace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having one place to store all product requirements guarantees configuration management and eliminates the need to work with spreadsheets, keep versions etc. The ability to mange tests and verify requirements directly from within the system ensures nothing is missed.

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

The tool serves well for requirements management, providing traceability between requirements and between requirements and design using automated 'rules'.

Serves well as a single source of truth for design and its properties. The core functionalities are easy to use and understand and the customer support has been very responsive and helpful.

There are a lot of features and availability of API makes it flexible to integrate with existing processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Some of the UI/UX is not always easy/fun to use and the most of the pages do not display well on mobile.

It can at times be difficult to align the usage of the tool with more formal processes (e.g. ECSS) and things like gated reviews and 'freezing' certain aspects of design.

It is less well suited for situations where a batch/series production is used (i.e. better suited for the design phase and manufacturing,integration,testing of one-off products).

Product is still in very active development (positive) but that also means that there are still some things to iron out and things may change in the future, potentially requiring adapting your workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Valispace has an intiutiive system in place for linking requirements, components, analysis, and verification together, and it exists live in a web browser that lets me and my whole team look at and work on the same thing at the same time. The best thing about them, though, is their amazing customer service that responds blazingly fast whenever I have issues or comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Vlispace can take a bit of time to administer. It is also not the most flexible tool around, there are limitations in what kind of columns can be created to represent data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Valispace solves the problem of making sure my whole team has access to the latest set of requirements in a dynamic program where these things are constantly evolving. It saves me a lot of time finding things for other people on my team. The parent/child relationships are also really valuable when reviewing requirements later, to know what will be imapcted by any changes as well as where numbers came from.

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

The user interface is much simpler, cleaner and easier to use compare to other software solutions. Compared to using a spreadsheet you get many additional features like version tracking, tracibility, formula based requirements etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

I still experience many bugs every day, especially in the front-end. The testing module has never received much attention and is barely useful in my opinion. I am missing some key features:

- Custom requirement identifier numbering (also separate identifier per section)

- Placeholder for deleted requirements to block the identifier number

- An easy way to share a requirements list with non-Valispace user

- A proper testing module

- Better formatting in the requirements text editor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Task tracker; the way that formulas can get calculated from sub component up to full assembly; formulas for power and mass; the document generation feature that links directly to your project; verifying program requirements; visual mapping of subcomponents in an assembly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Valispace is a software based program so formulas are not as straight forward; documents are limited in design; copying subcomponents can be cumbersome and cause Valispace to have to think a lot; could improve on electrical board design capabilities for pinouts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Valispace has helped us to keep our assembly components and their corresponding formulas/calculations in one location and be able to branch between multiple departments (mechanical, systems, electrical, etc.) to complete spacecraft design according to customer requirements.

What do you like best about Requirements & Systems Portal?

Valispace is great at being able to view requirements in different contexts. The requirements module can be used to break the requirements down functionally, but the components view allows you to view how the requirements are allocated to each component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Requirements & Systems Portal?

The test module has a lot of promise but is a bit buggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Requirements & Systems Portal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Valispace allows us to view and organize our requirements very well. We also use it to decompose the system into subsystems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
