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."We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."
"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"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."
"Complete traceability as per process requirements."
"PTC Integrity has good stability."
"The traceability is valuable. While managing the workflows, it was always nice to have that traceability from requirements and all the way through design. It integrates with Microsoft Test Manager, and you can have everything that is related to a requirement attached to it."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"The solution is very much stable."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is integration."
"TFS' most valuable feature is the triage process. It is a robust solution that is easy to use."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."
"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."
"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."
"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."
"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."
"TFS is scalable with different Microsoft tools for test management but it is not scalable with other third-party tools."
"I only use 1% of the functionality, so I am not familiar enough to know what needs to be improved."
"TFS and MTM have their own style of working and they are different from other tools like Jira or TestRail, which are simpler and easy to use."
"Currently, we are looking for a solution with which we can incorporate third-party development sites or third-party project teams into the system. Because it is on-premise, it is a bit problematic because we need to have a VPN or something else in the system. A cloud-based solution would be better for us, and that's what we are looking for. Our biggest problem is the external connection, which, of course, is limited by our own IT. It would be good to have some kind of publishing service for this external connection. It might be there, and it might be that our IT is making it impossible for us. Its template editor could be easier to use. Currently, customizing the project templates according to your needs requires some work."
"As an end-user, I expect the solution's performance to be faster while staying as stable as possible."
"The manageability and performance of the product are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The user interface could be improved to make it simpler and increase usability."
"The usability of TFS is not that great."
