Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful.""The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

"I like that it integrates with the Jira solutions.""This solution is open and very easy to integrate. The interface is good too.""ALM Quality Center is a reliable, consolidated product.""It provides visibility on release status and readiness.""You can do your development from start to finish: starting with the requirements, ending with defects, and testing in-between.""The setup is pretty straightforward.""The most valuable user feature that we use right now is the camera.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is its support for many automation technologies."

Cons
"The reporting needs to be improved.""I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

More CucumberStudio Cons →

"Client-side ActiveX with patch upgrades""There needs to be improvement in the requirement samples. At the moment, they are very basic.""The performance could be faster.""We have had a poor experience with customer service and support.""One drawback is that ALM only launches with the IE browser. It is not supporting the latest in Chrome... It should be launched for all of the latest browsers.""Micro Focus ALM Quality Center could improve its marketing. For example, Tricentis is much better at letting the market know about new solutions and updates. The migration of the tool could improve, but it can be difficult.""Lacks sufficient plug-ins.""Requirements management could be improved as the use is very limited. E.g., they have always stated that, "You can monitor and create requirements," but it has its limitations. That's why companies will choose another requirements management solution and import data from that source system into Quality Center. Micro Focus has also invested in an adapter between Dimensions RM and ALM via Micro Focus Connect. However, I see room for improvements in this rather outdated tool. I feel what Micro Focus did is say, "Our strategy is not to improve these parts within the tool itself, but search for supported integrations within our own tool set." This has not been helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
  • "If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
  • "For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
  • "The full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."
  • "HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
  • "Sure, HP UFT is not free. But consider what you get for that cost: A stable product that is easy to use; the kitchen sink of technology stack support; decades of code (which in many cases actually is free); a version that is a stepping stone to an easier Selenium design; and a support base that is more that just the kindness of strangers."
  • "Seat and concurrent licensing models exist; the latter is recommended if a large number of different users will be utilizing the product."
  • "I feel that the licenses are expensive. ​"
