"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."
"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."
"I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn."
"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."
"Complete traceability as per process requirements."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"The most valuable feature is simplicity."
"The API for managing TFS programmatically is very powerful, you can listen on work items changes by TFS events."
"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 most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"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 that it keeps the code secure while working collaboratively in a team of four or five individuals."
"TFS's best features include user-friendly test management, bug reporting, and ID assignment."
"User alerts are very helpful for knowing when work is required."
"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."
"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."
"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."
"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."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"This solution is quite old and it is already being bundled as Azure DevOps Server."
"Integration from Visual Studio could be improved."
"Not all of the functionality, which is exposed by the command line interface (tf.exe) is available in the Visual Studio GUI."
"The dashboard and the customization of dashboards is an area they have to work on."
"The reporting functionality is something that they should work on."
"The project management side should be addressed and the project and release planning should be somewhat extended."
"The price could be cheaper."
