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."The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"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."
"PTC Integrity has good stability."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
"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."
"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"The solution is very much stable."
"Version Control: TFS offers both the centralized “TFVC” version control technology as well as the distributed “Git” version control technology."
"It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use."
"The API for managing TFS programmatically is very powerful, you can listen on work items changes by TFS events."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard and task-selection capability."
"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"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 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 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."
"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
"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 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."
"Access and permissions are confusing when attempting to include basic manual testing functionalities."
"They should have design patterns in TFS for the development team, and design patterns for the QA."
"The test management interface is not very handy."
"As an end-user, I expect the solution's performance to be faster while staying as stable as possible."
"I'm looking for specific options that aren't currently available, such as active status, new status, or what's currently in progress."
"I only use 1% of the functionality, so I am not familiar enough to know what needs to be improved."
"The tool needs improvement in stability."
"More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively."
