Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is stable and reliable.""I personally found the defect tracking feature very useful in my ongoing project.""ALM Quality Center's best features are the test lab, requirement tab, and report dashboard.""Within Quality Center, you have the dashboard where you can monitor your progress over different entities. You can build your own SQL query segments, and all that data is there in the system, then you can make a dashboard report.""Quality management, project management from a QA perspective - testing, defect management, how testing relates back to requirements.""I found the ease of use most valuable in Micro Focus ALM Quality Center. Creating test cases is easier because the solution allows writing in Excel.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is its support for many automation technologies.""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."

"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client.""The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project.""Complete traceability as per process requirements.""It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks.""PTC Integrity has good stability.""The tool is quite structured and has a good command set.""The solution is flexible in terms of customization. You can bend and reformat it in many ways. You can also customize the APIs and public functions.""I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn."

Cons
"If the solution could create a lighter, more flexible tool with more adaptability to new methodologies such as agile, it would be great.""Micro Focus ALM Quality Center could improve its marketing. For example, Tricentis is much better at letting the market know about new solutions and updates. The migration of the tool could improve, but it can be difficult.""The solution needs to offer support for Agile. Currently, ALM only supports Waterfall.""I would rate it a 10 if it had the template functionality on the web side, had better interfaces between other applications, so that we didn't have dual data entry or have to set up our own migrations.""If they could improve their BPT business components that would be good""The performance could be faster.""ALM requires that you install client side components. If your organization does not allow admin rights on your local machine, this means you will need someone to run the installation for you with admin rights. This client side install is also limited to Internet Explorer and does not support any other browsers.""The QA needs improvement."

"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility.""It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer.""From my experience over the years, I believe there might be room for improvement in PTC Integrity. While it's already a good product, it tends to be slower than other software. When it becomes bulky, it slows down even more, sometimes leading to crashes or hangs that require restarting the computer before being able to use PTC Integrity again. This has been my experience multiple times.""There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA.""To be honest, the third controller system is kind of old. There are lots of transactional changes that have not been implemented in PTC. If you have a larger project, for example, whenever you give bits and need to change 10,000 files you can just commit them. But here the work style is a little more file based, so you'll have to take care of almost all the files individually. It's not a single commit like you do here, but rather you have to allocate time for each component or file that you want to check in or commit. That's a very big issue.""It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use.""The tool's web-based UI needs improvement. Some functionalities don't work yet, and querying items is slow. Also, it's not in the cloud yet. I don't know if they'll do it in the future because they already have core agreements with customers. If they offer these functionalities, customers will likely buy their product.""I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."

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. ​"
