Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is fast and very accessible.""The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."

More Inflectra SpiraTeam Pros →

"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is a very good test management tool especially for writing test cases and uploading. You can even upload the test cycles from Excel. You get the defects and the reports, and also some automation using EFT which works with ALM.""Ability to customize modules, particularly Defect Tracking module on company specific needs""The most valuable Quality Center feature, I find, is the solution's integration with some of our automation tools. For us, the ability to capture and record and the ease of use from a user perspective, are all key.""ALM is a well-known product and is one of the pioneers in providing test management facilities with a 360 degree view of requirements.""ALM Quality Center's best features are the test lab, requirement tab, and report dashboard.""Produces good reports and has a great traceability feature.""I like the traceability, especially between requirements, testing, and defects.""It allows us to easily make linkage and dependencies, with plenty of integrations."

Cons
"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes.""They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options."

More Inflectra SpiraTeam Cons →

"We are looking for more automation capabilities.""There is room for improvement in the scalability and stability of the solution.""There's room for improvement in the requirements traceability with Micro Focus ALM Quality Center. That could use an uplift.""Quality Center's UI is outdated, and it's a little bit slow on the login part and different parts of the application. That's why we're switching solutions. I believe most companies are switching to Octane or something else. Micro Focus should enhance the interface and reports.""Sometimes I do run my queries from the admin login. However, if I want to reassess all my test cases, then I am still doing this in a manual manner. I write SQL queries, then fire them off. Therefore, a library of those SQL queries would help. If we could have a typical SQL query to change the parameters within test cases, then this is one aspect I can still think that could be included in ALM. Though they would need to be analyzed and used in a very knowledgeable way.""We operate in Sweden, and there are not so many Swedish people that know the product.""I would like to be able to search easier, not just do SQL queries, being able to do free keyword searches on the data. That's valuable.""HPE ALM’s out-of-the-box reporting can be perceived as rigid and limited, to an extent."

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. ​"
