"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"The integration with Jira and the ability for extra configurations are the most valuable features."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"Integration with Confluence and JIRA."
"I use the solution for test management."
"The most valuable features are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."
"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."
"The most valuable feature is integration, particularly if you have a .NET application."
"It is a stable solution."
"The tool's installation is straightforward."
"Complete integration with VS IDE and Office tools: This give us a possibility of high-level automation, thus minimizing human error."
"Since it is a robust solution, I face no performance issues. Also, considering how well the implementation process of the solution was carried out, we never faced any issues while using the solution."
"I like its MTM (Microsoft Test Manager) section which gives us options to create various test plans and add test cases into it."
"As far as queries are concerned, creating, grading, or customizing the queries as a primary requirement is very easy to do."
"Build definitions and releases within the product. allow us to put our latest applications in the field."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."

"Better prediction of text."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"TestRail should improve its pricing."
"I have faced some issues with the integration between TestRail and Jira, which haven't been permanently resolved yet."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"It would be useful if it had its own issue management system. At the moment, it's purely a test management tool and you have to link to a defect management tool, like JIRA. It would be useful if there was an option to use its own defect management tool so that it's integrated and not two separate tools."
"I would also like a true command prompt like Git."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"They have room for improvement in merging the source code changes for multiple developers across files. It is very good at highlighting the changes that the source code automatically does not know how to handle, but it's not very good at reporting the ones that it did automatically. There are times when we have source code that gets merged, and we lose the changes that we expected to happen. It can get a little confusing at times. They can just do a little bit better on the merging of changes for multiple developers."
"There should be management of the project built-in."
"It would be better if we could bring it out on the cloud."
"The program and portfolio planning facility can be improved."
"TFS should allow more integration with different platforms."
"Sometimes we feel that it need more CPU, and RAMs on TFS server, either we implemented the hardware with the product minimum requirements."
