(Thread)</title><description>  Hi Inflectra,  I just wanted to say how impressed I am with both SpiraTeam and the level of support I have received for such an inexpensive tool solution. So much so we have decided to make a purchase.  I have managed testing for almost 15 years and have worked for one of the "Big Three" test tool providers in both sales and professional services capacities. I have both sold the tools and as a customer bought the tools and I thus understand the cost of ownership. Very expensive and usually in the range of 6 figures.  Currently the program I test is very bleeding edge. We are working with the latest releases of the latest SDK's building high-tech geospatial mapping software and experimental aircraft. We have a team of very experienced developers working in an Agile enviornment  After evaluating SpiraTeam recently, I have been simply blown away with the level of functionality available with the tool. It rivals the big-three and is a fraction of the cost. In some areas I think the functionality is even better than some of the big three. And quite intuitive for a tester in almost all areas.  Inflectra, where have you been all my life? I have wasted hundreds of thousands of customer dollars on large tools when your tool is available for a fraction of the cost. Nursing a well-developed bias against perceived "cheap tools", I have avoided even evaluating such tools in the past - other tools in this price range are generally completely unsuitable or developed for developers. I have previously been burned.  Not only this, but the price is such I am considering purchasing a copy myself in order to increase my value and offering to future clients. It is very affordable!  The level of support I have received - when I have been simply an evaluating customer - has been outstanding!  Henceforth I will be recommending Spira to all my clients for test and requirements management.  Well done on such a brilliant tool.  Now to continue our evaluation of Rapise....
