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."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"PTC Integrity has good stability."
"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."
"Complete traceability as per process requirements."
"TFS’s test management capability without the expensive licensing has large gaps. Users will be unable to access performance testing and coded UI testing capabilities."
"It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use."
"The tool's installation is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are test case writing and bug tracking."
"TFS is very user-friendly."
"The API for managing TFS programmatically is very powerful, you can listen on work items changes by TFS events."
"The most valuable feature of TFS is the central repository, and you can see what changes other developers did from which branch."
"This solution enables us to link all items usefully, in the way we use Agile."
"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
"TFS should allow more integration with different platforms."
"The usability of TFS is not that great."
"Integration from Visual Studio could be improved."
"Overall, I think it would be useful to have something similar where Microsoft comes up with supporting concepts of scaling Agile in TFS so that clients don't have to look for a separate tool."
"Since it is Microsoft, it is technology agnostic, thus it does not really fit into various different technologies in the organization."
"The reporting functionality is something that they should work on."
"The dashboard and the customization of dashboards is an area they have to work on."
"The overall reports in TFS could improve. Additionally, there should be an easier way to migrate from an older version to a newer one."
