Industry Specialization

Generic; no specialized industry frameworks.

Heavy Regulated Industries, Aerospace & Defense, Medical Devices & Lifescience, Design Manufacturing, SOC, Automotive, Rails

Target Company Size

Best for small–medium software teams.

Small startups to large enterprise systems programs.

Quality of Support

Availability, responsiveness, and expertise of the support team.

Offers ticket-based support, user forums, and basic onboarding.

Provides expert assistance for plugins and scripting.

Pricing
$$
$
Floating Licenses

No floating licenses; per-user licensing model.

Yes — for flexible seat sharing globally and cost-effective pricing for global teams.

On-premise Licenses

On-prem was available before getting discontinued, Windows-based.

Yes — air-gapped and cloud options supported. Supports development and deployment.

Support & Maintenance

Ongoing technical assistance, updates, and upgrades provided with the software.

Maintenance and support via IBM is limited since it got discontinued; no more upcoming updates.

Visure provides ongoing support and maintenance at no extra cost for subscription licenses. Tool trainings and resource center access are also provided at no extra cost.

Requirements Quality Analysis

Reduce requirements authoring errors and improve the accuracy and consistency of requirements quality.

No native quality analysis; relies on manual review.

AI-driven Quality Analyzer flags ambiguities, improves language in real time and automatically analyses requirements quality.

Traceability to The Source Code

Support for linking and tracing requirements directly to the source code.

No native source code traceability.

Visure supports advanced traceability features, such as tracing and linking source code to requirements and other components. This type of features simplifies and accelerates regulatory compliance audits.

Requirements Traceability Matrix

Provides a customizable traceability model and matrix for visualizing and managing traceability across the development lifecycle.

Basic traceability via Word tables and document links.

Visure's Traceability Model and relationship diagram are essential for achieving end-to-end traceability and evaluating systems development effectiveness. With Visure, traceability is easy to configure and customize through lean, centralized relationship rules, ensuring consistency and enforceability across the entire development lifecycle.

Risk Analysis & Reporting

No integrated risk analysis; manual methods required.

Supports built-in modules for FMEA, risk management capabilities, hazard tracking, impact analysis, and advanced reporting with easy exporting options.

Requirements Gathering & Authoring

Author and manage requirements across users, projects, and versions.

Requirements captured in Word docs linked to database.

Visure enables teams to author, read, and edit items seamlessly in a single view, all while preserving an item-based structure within project hierarchies. It's AI feature can be leveraged for writing, editing and improving requirements.

Test Management

Capabilities for linking, managing, and validating tests related to requirements.

No integrated test management; requires external tools.

Visure offers integrated test management within its platform, enabling teams to link requirements with test cases, track testing progress, execution, and ensure verification traceability throughout the development lifecycle.

Integration Flexibility

Limited integration; primarily with Word and some IBM tools. No more development, so no new integrations with modern tools are available.

Native, open API, bidirectional sync with Jira, DOORS, MATLAB, ReqIF, VectorCast, Gitlab, Windchill, and more.

Offers native round-trip integrations with leading engineering tools and accepts custom integration requests, prioritizing them on the product roadmap to ensure customer success.

Standard Compliance & Templates

Pre-built and customizable templates for compliance with industry-specific standards.

No pre-built compliance templates; all manual.

Advanced Pre-configured Templates for ISO 26262, DO-178C, IEC 62304, SPICE.

Easy to modify, implement and integrated within the platform for full traceability.

Workflow Customization

Options for configuring and automating workflows to align with specific organizational processes.

Minimal workflow features; manual tracking.

Visual workflow builder with automation and approvals.
Doesn’t requiring advanced tool knowledge or extensive permissions.

Migration Support

Tools and processes to facilitate seamless migration from IBM DOORS or any other Requirements Management Software.

IBM provided migration tools to DOORS; no modern path.

 

Visure provides a proven methodology for migration support from legacy tools like Integrity (RV&S), IBM DOORS, and other requirements management software, ensuring a seamless and risk-free transition.

Security Features

Basic authentication; limited enterprise-grade security.

Visure supports a secure and robust infrastructure that adheres to the triad of information security and industry best practices. Hosted on Microsoft Azure, it leverages Azure's advanced security policies and capabilities. Regular penetration testing is conducted across all nodes, ensuring continuous protection. Visure is also actively progressing toward ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications to enhance compliance and trust.

Scalability

Not designed for large-scale, distributed environments.

Visure supports scalability with a flexible licensing model, making it easy to add users, project data, API integrations, and features as your organization grows.

Integrated AI within Platform

Rational Reqsuisite Pro does not support any AI features.

Visure leads the industry in integrating AI to enhance risk detection, requirements writing and quality analysis, traceability, and test case management.
Also supports AI-engineer assistants within the platform via Vivia.

These AI features are completed optional for teams.

Return on Investment (ROI)

Lower ROI for large projects; OK for small teams.

With Visure's cost-effective and affordable, AI-powered Requirements Management Software, 72% of customers achieve full traceable ROI within the first year.
