Log in to view review sentiment.
The configuration management capabilities allowing our quicker adoption of product line concepts. The ease of approachablity for folks who have historically developed and managed requirements in Word/Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Perhaps out of ignorance, it is unclear how to utilize multiple components in a DNG construct. If initially coming from older DNG versions, all requirements are in a single component and must be refactored to take advantage of selective change control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really like how easy it is to migrate the data from Doors into Doors Next as well as the very much updated interface (bearing in mind that Doors Next is not just an new and improved Doors). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a whole lot I don't like about it. It is the best RM tool I have ever used Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Natural integration with the way our team works in a modern engineering envrionment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
On-premise requirements are sometimes necessary so it becomes difficult with a cloud product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In our organization business analysts and systems analyst are using this module to develop their requirement artifacts. We have the complete IBM CLM suite so that other departments like development and QA use these requirement to develop and test the application. This end to end traceability and easy collaboration across the lifecylce help us a lot.
There are a couple of areas where IBM Rational DOORS is quite strong. First, it is part of the IBM CLM solution so the artifacts developed in this module can be easily available for other functions like development and QA. They can link with their stories and test cases and team leads and managers can use traceability matrix to find out where there are gaps in coverage.
Comprehensive configuration management functionality (concept of multiple streams and global configuration) is available, which can be helpful if you need to implement configuration management scenarios for your product or project. For example, a certain version of a requirement can be linked with one story and another version of same requirement can be linked with another story. This is the unique feature which other current tools in the market don't provide.
It's highly customizable so you can configure the project areas based on your need. You can have your own requirement types, and you can define templates to speed up the process. Comprehensive review functionality is there as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wireframes are quite basic. If you need intuitive and interactive wireframes to elaborate the requirements. you probably need to define outside the tool and then upload as image.
ER (define data dictionaries) modeling is not there.
Use case modeling is quite basic. You can visualize the use case and actors relation but the tool does not enforce the rules.
Does not support offline work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Global Configurations aspect of DNG has made it better than any other RM tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Migrating from other RM tools that do not support ReqIf Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the flexibility and power of the DNG platform and the fact that it directly integrates with RTC and RQM for full lifecycle management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would have preferred more examples of configuration management within the help documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Global Configuration Management is a real great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am missing features that i am used from DOORS 9 and which I think made DOORS 9 the most used Requirements Tool like:
- Extendible thru scripting (with UI integration!)
- Soft-deleted Objects
- Calculated Columns (dxl layout columns)

Cleaner user interface, availability of migration support, traininng, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That my DOORS (classic) users are expecting DOORS Next to include ALL of the same functions, plus additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found that the interaction between the different industries was very insightful. I gained a lot of knowledge into my own lifecyle management from this session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The room was extremely cold and we missed our 3pm coffe break because of the good conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
