Companies Choose Jama Connect Over Codebeamer
Jama Connect was designed to complement Jira and Azure DevOps to make agile traceable. Codebeamer overlaps and conflicts with Jira and ADO.
There is No Direct Upgrade from Integrity/RV&S to Codebeamer. Migrate to the Right Solution, Jama Connect.
Faced with the end of support and considering options, PTC Integrity/RV&S users need to know that a migration process is always necessary regardless of which tools are involved. There is no special advantage in moving to codebeamer from PTC Integrity/RV&S because these tools were designed with different technical approaches to systems engineering and data storage. Accepting the unavoidable need for data migration, it’s more important to focus on selecting the right tool. Jama Connect® is a modern requirements management alternative to PTC Integrity/RV&S. Our expert in-house staff uses a proven repeatable migration methodology to work directly with customers to adapt Jama Connect to fit their product, systems, and software development process, identify and migrate required data, and train teams to rapidly adopt Jama Connect.
Codebeamer Conflicts with Jira, Jama Connect Complements it.
Codebeamer has overlapping and conflicting functionality to Jira and Azure DevOps with a wiki, kanban board, version control, IDE commits, pull requests, etc. These conflicts make an integrated solution a challenge for engineers. Jama Connect was designed to work with Jira and Azure DevOps to deliver Traceable Agile™.
Dassault Systèmes’ CATIA No Magic and Sparx Systems’ EA Offer Direct Integrations to Jama Connect, but not to Codebeamer.

Dassault CATIA No Magic through Cameo DataHub and Sparx Enterprise Architect have both developed the most advanced productized integrations to Jama Connect and do not offer any direct integrations to Codebeamer.

Read Why Teams are Choosing Jama Connect® Over Codebeamer
“The learning curve with codebeamer was too steep. We couldn’t afford to wait for our teams to get up and going with a complex platform… with Jama Connect, we have the confidence that we can easily show regulators the linkages between each individual item, with full traceability from top to bottom. I can easily click through the whole storyline of how requirements fit into the V-model and what actions we took.”
“Jama Connect was the most intuitive and easy to use of the platforms we tested. Jama Software’s support team is always quick to answer our questions and help us get the most out of the platform. When I talk with them, they are always trying to truly understand what we are trying to do, and they work with us to make it happen. They also worked closely with us in the beginning to customize the platform to our workflow and to set up goals and metrics in Jama Connect.”
“You can’t beat [Jama Connect]. It’s too easy. Using the out-of-box configurations, I can just click and view the trace matrix. That was phenomenal. The fact that I can simply export a PDF for audit preparation saves me three weeks of time. Regulatory bodies don’t need to know that Jama Software exists because it’s exporting the same report that I had to do manually in the past, just instantly. So that was a major benefit.”
