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 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."
"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."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
"Complete traceability as per process requirements."
"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."
"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."
"Some of the valuable features are version control and the ability to create different collections in terms of segregating the authorization for teams who connect to small projects."
"The interface is easy to navigate."
"The solution is very much stable."
"Good branching and labelling features."
"The API for managing TFS programmatically is very powerful, you can listen on work items changes by TFS events."
"Work item management integration with source control."
"The biggest value-add is the solution integrates well with most Microsoft products."
"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"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."
"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."
"TFS should allow more integration with different platforms."
"The solution should have better dashboards."
"The tool needs improvement in stability."
"TFS is scalable with different Microsoft tools for test management but it is not scalable with other third-party tools."
"We are also using Microsoft Teams. The two products function separately. There is not enough collaboration between Microsoft Teams and TFS."
"The solution's server for deployment needs to be improved."
"The user interface could improve and test management was not useful in TFS."
"More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively."
