I have now transitioned two major healthcare software development organizations to developing state of the art mobile and cloud based software platforms.
On both occasions we evaluated tools for ALM and decided to use CodeBeamer. CodeBeamer supports the necessary processes to develop medical system software in an agile manner.
In today’s economy, it is not only important to build and deploy secure and scalable software at great speeds. You must do so while maintaining compliance with industry specific regulations.
Processes and tools that enable us to accelerate delivery and maintain compliance, are key to delivering products in regulated markets.
I have used several ALM, requirements management and agile project management tools throughout my career. I have used JIRA, VersionOne, Rally, ScrumWorks, PTC Integrity, SharePoint/Project Portfolio Manger, IBM Rational Product, Team Foundation Server, QuickTest Pro, Quality Center, etc.
I have also evaluated several other ALM products prior to using code beamer. In my opinion, CodeBeamer is the best all-in-one tool that I have found for developing software in a process centric way.
Deploying the tool was really easy. Creating workflows and Kanbans with CodeBeamer are very intuitive. Creating complex associations between different type of objects is very easy to achieve and visualize. We were able to implement an entire SAFe compliant requirements stack and get up and running in a few weeks. The tractability functionality is great and a must-have if you are in a regulated environment (62304/82304/etc)
I love the document view for all trackers. I can export Word documents that follow the corporate style-guide from within CodeBeamer.
I like the ability to create custom plug-ins and widgets . It's a great approach to creating purpose built reports and view that are pertinent.
Importing data from other processes was also a breeze through the use of REST Apis.
Every time I show auditors what we can achieve with CodeBeamer's traceability features, their jaws drop. They immediately want to learn more.
All in all, CodeBeamer ALM is phenomenal product, and Intland is a great company to partner with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their reporting is very flexible. I would like Intland would work on reports that agregate burndowns across multiple trackers out of the box. Need to get burndown view across multiple teams and across multiple requirements levels to give an appropriate view of how much work is left across teams.
Work on integration with IDE tools (Visual Studio Code, etc) . Developers like to be able to manager their deliverables from within IDEs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I must say that what I like best about codebeamer is its comprehensive approach to application lifecycle management. It's great how it covers everything from requirements management to testing and quality assurance, all in one platform. It's also quite user-friendly and customizable, which makes it a joy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I must say that my experience with codebeamer has been largely positive. However, like any other tool, it's not without its drawbacks. One thing that I find a bit challenging is the initial learning curve. It can be quite steep for beginners or those not familiar with similar tools. The interface, while robust and comprehensive, can be a bit overwhelming at first. Another aspect that could be improved is the customization. While codebeamer offers a lot of flexibility, it can be a bit complex to tailor it to specific project needs. But these are just minor issues in an otherwise great tool. Remember, no tool is perfect and what works best often depends on the specific needs and context of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface can be slow until caches are built up
Review system could be better, missing simple features like scrolling through the list of requirements to see what comments have been added
Draw.io plug-in for the editor is an old version and is missing a lot of features, causing usability problems with diagrams.
PTC are still getting used to owning Codebeamer which causes a slow response for purchasing and licensing issues and tech support is patchy while they go through this transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
