Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"PTC Integrity has good stability.""Complete traceability as per process requirements.""We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client.""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.""We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information.""I have found that previously, the OEM sector was managing everything, possibly manually. However, with the introduction of the product, it has become much easier for customers to handle their products. Previously, customers were using different software to manage their products. However, PTC Integrity offers a solution for requirements management, test management, and even development to support live ticket management. So instead of using multiple software tools, we can use it for all these purposes.""The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project.""It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."

"It's very user-friendly.""It helps with getting the alignment between strategy and execution for the product teams, all the way down to the delivery teams.""We can work better and at a higher quality, than we were able to before.""It's a good platform to keep track of all the user stories across all projects. So rather than having one off Excel spreadsheets with all of the requirements, it is a good place to have all of that.""It documents stories in a way where we do not have to be heavy on front-end requirements, front-end documentation, and front-end workflows.""It has allowed the quality assurance team to keep all information in sync with the application requirements and user stories for our general development.""Reporting is much easier and faster than Micro Focus ALM, with CA AC built on web services... Also, the data is more granular when it comes to tasks, iterations, sprints, and releases.""With this product, searching for historical information or the evolution of the requirement, detecting conflict between projects has helped a lot."

Cons
"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all.""I would like to see better integration from the architectural side.""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.""The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version. Administration and adding/removing fields, etc. cannot be done on the web version. People want solutions that are compatible with Android. I also want to have a version by which I can bulk edit all the fields.""It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer.""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.""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.""For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."

"In terms of improvement, perhaps some more metrics. If they could add some additional, that would be cool.""We did submit an enhancement request. I think a lot of teams that do very large scale products have the same issue. They just do not realize it would help them.""CA Agile Central does not have a workflow tool included.""I would like to see more Kanban support. As it stands, it doesn't seem to have the features or the layouts that the teams really need to be able to execute their tasks. It almost tries to force you into more of a Scrum style.""We want Rally to generate OKRs, to allow teams to record the OKRs, and then the OKRs can be mapped to the epics and there is organizational alignment.""There are few customisation options. For instance, the workflow for story cards cannot be changed out of the box from the standard (Defined, In-Progress, Completed and Accepted).""I would like for workspace admins to be able to hide projects in the Project Picker and not lose any historical data; make them invisible to certain users, visible to certain users, depending on permission sets. That would be lovely.""One problem I see is that if there is a dependent user story - for example, if my team is working on one thing and there is a dependent user story from another team - we can have a dependency created but we don't know if there is a change of status from the other team. That is something which is very important for Agile Central to look into so that if the other team makes any changes we will be notified as well."

  • "From a price point, it's a cost effective solution for our needs."
  • "It is expensive and may not be worthwhile for a small company."
  • "We are always looking for a discount, if the solution was less expensive it would be a benefit."
