"Great Traceability and Version Comparison, but Limiting Velocity Exports"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

I like that traceability is easy to see as well as the fact that we can see, using the version tab, who added what change and we can also compare different versions of the requirements to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

What I dislike about Jama connect is the export reports - it is done in Velocity which is not a documented type of coding language, making it difficult for users to be able to make their own without using credits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient and Flexible Requirements Management and Traceability Tool; Reporting Can Be Improved."

4/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

The main thing I like is that almost every item in Jama Connect has an associated URL, which makes it very easy to share any item through that URL, and for other users to refer back to that item. The second-best thing is that there is no practical limit to the number of stakeholders that can have read-only access to the requirements. The versioning of items is also very good, together with the establishment of baselines for the requirements, both to help with releases, and be able to easily compare between those baselines/releases. The Review Center, although it has not displaced the existing Jira-based review that already existed in our organization for established documents, we have used it successfully for new documents/requirements outside of the established process. Finally, you can tailor the existing item types and relationships, and create new ones, with standard types for requirements management and testing as part of the default set. Jama Connect is essentially a malleable database that we can use to solve our needs in requirements management, traceability, and compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

Sometimes the speed of some of the screens/interfaces could be improved. Relationships are not easy to be imported or exported, that's a difficulty we have found a number of times, specially when starting from a set of requirements coming from a document. And reporting is sometimes difficult to prepare. It would be good if there could be some wizard/screens to help you create reports (both Office-based and Velocity Engine-based ones) and visualize the reports online based on the different fields that you might want to display, and/or different operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jama Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jama Connect for Requirements Management solves for us the traceability from science to system technical requirements, ensures also compliance flow, and we hope to use it to store verification plans. We will be able to run test campaigns which will be linked directly within Jama, keeping our compliance up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finally, the support offered by the Jama team is exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jama Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

The tool allows us to capture, link and manage a large number of requirements covering the overall system, the various subsystems and the subsystem components. Additionally, it allows for clear and easy linking between the various requirements and any verification items that they might have.

Additionally it is allowing us to create and maintain requirement sets for product families that can then be copied over to customer specific programs, and at the same time allowing us to select the type of relationship the customer specific requirements should have with the original product requirements.

"Consistent Traceability with Jama Connect – More Transparency in the Development Process"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

The most helpful aspect of Jama Connect is the continuous traceability throughout the entire development process. Requirements, tests, and changes are clearly linked, which creates transparency and significantly improves traceability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

The least helpful is partly the user interface, which in some places does not seem very intuitive and requires a certain amount of familiarization time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jama Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

A common problem in development projects is the lack of transparency and traceability of requirements and changes, which can lead to misunderstandings, errors, and delays.

Jama Connect helps solve this problem by providing a central platform for requirements management, traceability, and structured reviews. This ensures that all stakeholders are always on the same page, and the impacts of changes can be identified early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Web-Based, User-Friendly, Needs Improved Exports"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

I like that Jama Connect for Requirements Management is web-based, which means its performance is not dependent on my hardware, and the database is safely stored in the cloud instead of on my laptop. I appreciate that everyone receives updates automatically because everything is online, eliminating the need for manual pushing or committing changes. The customer service experience is something I really like—it is efficient and very helpful, providing assistance to a great level of detail. Additionally, I found the initial setup to be intuitive and I love the well-designed, user-friendly UI, especially with my previous experience with tools like Doors, Jira, and Cameo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

The export to Word, Excel, PDF is not working so well. Duplicating requirements is not optimal. Changing item types is not optimal. Deriving statistics is not optimal. If one could make batch changes to specific parts of the requirements or tests, that would be great. It is possible via the API, but that requires too many skills that the average user does not have. It is expensive, and we would love to use it with Capella, but the interface is not free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for review"

4/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

The best feature in JAMA is the requirement review.

Modern and easy to user UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

Licensing Behavior Is Problematic

The most critical issue with JAMA is how it handles floating licenses. When a Creator license is unavailable, the user is automatically downgraded to a Reviewer role. Unfortunately, a Reviewer can only access requirements that are actively included in a review—meaning they are effectively locked out of the full set of requirements. This restriction is highly problematic, especially when we're attempting to align our workflow and documentation practices around JAMA. We expected that a Creator without an available license would be downgraded to a read-only role, rather than losing access to essential content.

Difficulties Managing Multiple Products

JAMA works reasonably well when focusing on a single product. However, managing multiple products simultaneously becomes overly complex. The system does not provide an intuitive or visual way to differentiate or compare between products. For example, there is no visual overview of differences or changes across product versions, making it hard to track progress or ensure consistency.

Limited Visibility into Requirement/Test Status

Another major pain point is the difficulty in retrieving the status of only a subset of requirements or tests. JAMA lacks flexible filtering or dashboard views that would make it easier to focus on a specific area or segment of the project. This limits our ability to efficiently monitor progress or identify issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Even perfect have issues"

4/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

Jama Connect offers a user friendly and intuitive interface, making it comfortable to use even for new usersv( cheers to the front-end team for delivering a clean and user friendly experience).

One of the features I appreciate most is the "Review" option , which streamlines the review and approval process. It significantly reduces the need for frequent meetings by enabling asynchronous collaboration, which in turn improves overall efficiency and keeps the project momentum going.

In addition, the customer support is excellent. Response times are quick, and communication is clear and efficient, which makes resolving any issues straightforward and less time consuming. The overall communication flow with the support team contributes positively to the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

Incorporating automation and AI assistance would greatly enhance the user experience and reduce manual effort.

Additionally, I have encountered issues with data import functionality (In this case from Jira to Jama with JCI). In some cases, imported items were present in the system but did not appear in the filters as expected. These kinds of inconsistencies can impact trust in the tool's reliability, especially when working with critical project data. Ensuring robust and transparent data handling is the key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jama Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Jama Connect provides a comprehensive, end-to-end view of all components and projects, which is especially valuable in a large organization like ours. It enables us to clearly track the flow of requirements from stakeholder input through to verification and validation,ensuring traceability and alignment throughout the development lifecycle. This level of visibility is essential for maintaining direction, improving collaboration across teams, and ultimately helping us deliver solutions that meet defined requirements efficiently and accurately.

On the topic of the Jira to Jama Connect data import issue, we revisited your previous support ticket and found that a reindex resolved a similar problem at that time. If you’re still encountering inconsistencies, we’d be happy to assist further and can open a new support ticket to investigate thoroughly.

Please feel free to reach out so we can ensure this is fully resolved for you.

"Easy and effective Requirement Management system"

5/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

A lot of features, easy to use from the first day even for a complex topic as REQM.

The knowledge base to learn how to use and possible scenario is very well done and you can learn by yourself if you have sufficient skills in the argument.

We had to ask for the customer support in a few cases and this was fast and appropriate and give the solution in a fast way. The aim of "Connect" it is really to integrate with a lot of systems, and this is one of the main aspects done in a good and simple way.

It is easy to implement because there are a lot of samples, cases and preconfigured options so it is likely to be used for quality assurance of products on a regular basis on several scenarios. Because the aim is to cover all departments the frequency of usage increment more and more as you use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

The reporting is really powerfull at the moment but it could be enhanced to aggregate informations also from other sources not necessarily integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Jama Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrated with a PLM it helps to avoid to recreate the complex matter of the REQM inside the PLM and being easily integrated it can also reduce costs, avoid impacts or avoiding unusefull restrictions on the PLM side, giving the freedom of faster changes.

Another benefit is cost effective for the reviewer that could be outside the company and without the burden of PLM licenses for sometime easy tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"requirement management and risk management of a complex medical device"

5/5

What do you like best about Jama Connect?

The ease of implementation and the review of requirements are very straightforward. The ease of use contributes to the team's easy adoption.

As a document-centric organization, the export functions enable the generation of documents for seamless integration into our document management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Jama Connect?

Reviewing table-based items, such as risk analysis or FMEA, is not easy. The review of individual items the loose the big picture and ends in looking for the thing that changes from item to item.

The test part is really software-oriented and would have gained integrating some small feature that enables an increased sample size, rather than type-test or reuse whole set of protocol. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
