We performed a comparison between PTC Integrity and TFS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 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 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."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
"PTC Integrity has good stability."
"Complete traceability as per process requirements."
"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."
"I like the Kanban board. It is very useful in terms of seeing who is working on what and what the current status of work is."
"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"It is easy to push our changes from quality to pre-prod and prod."
"Basically, the capacity to construct various products is something I find handy."
"The most valuable feature is integration, particularly if you have a .NET application."
"The solution's iteration board is good because you can track all your work with it."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"Version Control: TFS offers both the centralized “TFVC” version control technology as well as the distributed “Git” version control technology."
"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."
"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."
"Access and permissions are confusing when attempting to include basic manual testing functionalities."
"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."
"The solution should have better dashboards."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"We encounter issues with backups."
"TFS is scalable with different Microsoft tools for test management but it is not scalable with other third-party tools."
"I would also like a true command prompt like Git."
"TFS isn't a great tool if you're on the cloud."
