“I most like the tool's ability to review history and run detailed queries. Another feature worth mentioning is it's API while integrating it in some other 3rd part tool.”

“The software allows very detailed and acurate records to be kept. It is a very useful tool on copmplex multi disciplinary projects - like Railway projects I work on.”

Director - Technical

Cons
“The concept of the concurrent connected users license is frustrating and should be changed. In addition, the updating process is awful and taking too much time (in case of success).”
GE

Gilad E.

Certification Engineer

“The software is picky about where it is and we have four VMs that have to run all the parts of it. Upgrading java has rendered the system useless before.”
BF

Bruce F.

IT Admin

“Licensing method is annoying as it give only concurrent number of users to work on it in parallel. I assume it is more related to budgeting but it was still slowing my work.”
