Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We are able to use Micro Focus ALM Quality Center for test management, defect management, test process, test governance activities, and requirement management. We are able to achieve all of this, the solution is very useful.""The integration with UFT is nice.""It has a good response time.""The execution module and the test planning module are definitely the most valuable features. The rest we use for traceability, but those are the two modules that I cannot live without.""Reporting was the main thing because, at my level, I was looking for a picture of exactly what the coverage was, which areas were tested, and where the gaps were. The reporting also allowed me to see test planning and test cases across the landscape.""I like that it integrates with the Jira solutions.""Cross project customization through template really helps to maintain standards with respect to fields, workflows throughout the available projects.""As a stand-alone test management tool, it's a good tool."

"OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback.""The function test feature is valuable.""The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development.""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool""Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications.""The solution is scalable.""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

Cons
"The downside is that the Quality Center's only been available on Windows for years, but not on Mac.""Lacks sufficient plug-ins.""We have had a poor experience with customer service and support.""If the solution could create a lighter, more flexible tool with more adaptability to new methodologies such as agile, it would be great.""Client-side ActiveX with patch upgrades""ALM uses a waterfall approach. We have some hybrid approaches in the company and need a more agile approach.""HP-QC does not support Agile. It is designed for Waterfall. This is the number one issue that we're facing right now, which is why we want to look for another tool. We're a pharmaceutical services company, so we require electronic signatures in a tool, but this functionality isn't available in HP-QC. We don't have 21 CFR, Part 11, electronic signatures, and we need compliant electronic signatures. Some of the ALM tools can toggle between tabular format and document format for requirements, but the same feature is not available in this solution. There is also no concept of base-lining or versioning. It doesn't exist.""There needs to be improvement in the requirement samples. At the moment, they are very basic."

"I have faced issues with some indexing items.""Licensing policies could be more intuitive.""If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time.""Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""It needs to be compatible with all browsers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
  • "If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
  • "For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
  • "The full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."
  • "HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
  • "Sure, HP UFT is not free. But consider what you get for that cost: A stable product that is easy to use; the kitchen sink of technology stack support; decades of code (which in many cases actually is free); a version that is a stepping stone to an easier Selenium design; and a support base that is more that just the kindness of strangers."
  • "Seat and concurrent licensing models exist; the latter is recommended if a large number of different users will be utilizing the product."
  • "I feel that the licenses are expensive. ​"

  • "ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
  • "Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
  • "The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
