“Jama can be powerful with the right conventions”

4.0
Oct 24, 2025
Jama Software has been a robust solution for writing, tracking, and managing business/functional requirements, test cases, or just about any of the types of documentation you want to manage in a single repository for your business. Of course, robust solutions require effective administration, and there are many ways to utilize the system that require a great amount of time setting conventions for users. Once set and everyone is approaching the system the same way, using Jama can be lucrative.

CRITICAL

“Configuration and setup too time-consuming”

3.0
Jun 22, 2017
Jama required too much effort to configure and set up. The software seemed to assume a level of knowledge related to requirements documentation that was above our internal capabilities. Even after a signficant amount of paid consultation with Jama I don't feel like we recaptured the amount of money spent on the subscription during the two years we used the product.

Not much.

Like

Strong traceability between requirements, test cases, and risks. Review Centre's Help in Collab between Stakeholders. Customizable workflows and status indicators.

Dislike

The UI needs an upgrade, performance can often be slow with vast numbers of items stored in Jama, and search could be a lot smarter, especially in the current landscape with modern AI search engines. The Jama knowledge base is not very helpful and too generic.

Difficulty to use and lack of templates.

Some features such as filters and text formatting are not intuitive. Occasional performance lag on large projects. Takes time to become fully comfortable with the tool.

    Jama Connect - Powerful tool for tracebility and collaboration but with learning curve

    4.0
    Sep 4, 2025
    I have been using Jama at our org for more than a year. It is a powerful tool for end-to-end traceability and I can easily map requirements to designs, testcases and defects. The collaboration between various teams and easy versioning helps and assures my team and stakeholders that we are always aligned on the latest requirements. But even though it has such great features, the outdated UI and clunky editor and filter options still cause headaches at times. But once I am past that, it is a much better tool than other options.
