User friendly software development!
Comments: We successfully completed seven projects with the tool. During our initial experience, we spent a little extra time acquainting ourselves with its features, but overall, it's undeniably a great software.
Pros:
Navigation is straightforward, and the dashboard can be tailored to individual preferences. DevTrack accommodates both agile and traditional workflows, regardless of project team size. Managing extensive workflows and centralizing tasks and resources within a single platform is effortless. Moreover, the learning curve for the average DevTrack user is minimal.
Cons:
DevSuite offers limited support for third-party integrations and APIs, which may not be suitable for projects requiring extensive integration with other third-party applications, such as JIRA.
We're using only DevTrack and DevTest portions of DevSuite. Both satisfy our development needs well.
Pros:
The products are fully configurable and allow many different options. The treacibility feature is great and allows us to trace issues to particular test cases. DevTest allows us to maintain all test cases in one place, and most importantly, re-use existing test cases as needed. DevTrack has been a great asset to out organization for the past 9 years. We went from only 5-6 people using it, to most of the teams on many projects. Another plus is Customer Web Portal that we utilized with many of our users. It allows users to submit issues to us with no need in using a license.
Cons:
As stated above, ease of use is not straight forward. Because DevSuite is highly configurable, Admins have to have an extensive knowledge of the admin tool to configure projects . That said, I think DevTrack is pretty easy to use for average end user. DevTest is more complicated to use. There are many steps one has to take to configure an actual test cycle. We also experienced difficulties when there is a need to add/change coverage in a test cycle. Despite the cons, we still find both DevTest and DevTrack very useful. Using these products made our job as QA much easier and greatly improved our communication with developers.

Great tool to follow the development of a software
Comments: We developed 3 successful projects using the tool. At the first opportunity we took a little longer because we were getting to know the features.
Pros:
The interface is simple and easy to use; It is possible for the management to monitor the entire development of the software in all its stages, being able to better manage the resources, time and team that will be necessary for the development; The tool has features that help work in large teams.
Cons:
We had issues with API implementation support on a few occasions. After many tickets, everything was resolved.
A comprehensive solution to achieve success
Comments: One of the things that has impressed me the most is its ability to cover all stages of the development life cycle: from requirements capture and management, through planning, monitoring and implementation, to testing and quality control, I really liked it.
Pros:
From requirements management to my planning, monitoring and quality control, this tool has everything I need in one place I love this platform.
Cons:
Well what I didn't like a bit was the integration with other tools and external systems may require a little more effort and customization.
Effective tool to manage business process!
Comments: It has been great experience with DevSuite so far.
Pros:
The project management part of the software is the most used by our teams which is an effective way to track our work.it not only ease our time management but we can easily build out roadmap for our new features.
Cons:
Some times it's not easy to use the dashboards or manage our workflows. The UI can be improved with the current market standards.
Well suited for both agile and traditional project teams
Comments: An affordable software for project teams despite team size. All features work as promised and the support team is pretty responsive and reliable.
Pros:
It is easy to navigate and one can customise the dashboard to their own liking. It supports both agile and traditional workflows, and project team size is not an issue either. Easy to manage large workflows and unify all the tasks and resources in one platform. There is little learning curve required for an average user of DevTrack.
Cons:
Little support for any third party integration or API. Most of the projects that use multiple integrations with other third party apps like JIRA etc are not supported by DevSuite. The UI is a little outdated. Also, admin configuration requires extensive knowledge about the application.
Great product!
Comments: Productivity
Pros:
Online access! Very easy to use. Easy to navigate and search!! I like this product for its productivity
Cons:
Time it takes to load- not very easy to byvpass. Could just be my old computer/ either way it takes awhile to get to where I need to be
