Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to integrate this solution with other applications is helpful. If there is automation, it comes with improved quality and speed.""I found the ease of use most valuable in Micro Focus ALM Quality Center. Creating test cases is easier because the solution allows writing in Excel.""Easily integrates with Oracle e-Business Suite.""The setup is pretty straightforward.""The execution module and the test planning module are definitely the most valuable features. The rest we use for traceability, but those are the two modules that I cannot live without.""Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution.""The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is its support for many automation technologies.""Produces good reports and has a great traceability feature."

"Complete traceability as per process requirements.""The tool is quite structured and has a good command set.""We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information.""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 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.""We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client.""The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project.""PTC Integrity has good stability."

Cons
"We would like to have support for agile development.""The downside is that the Quality Center's only been available on Windows for years, but not on Mac.""There needs to be improvement in the requirement samples. At the moment, they are very basic.""If the solution could create a lighter, more flexible tool with more adaptability to new methodologies such as agile, it would be great.""We cannot rearrange the Grid in the Test Lab. It is in alphabetical order right now. But sometimes a user will want to see, for example, the X column next to the B column. If they came out with that it would be useful for us. They are working on that, as we have raised that request with Micro Focus.""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.""The session timeout time needs to be longer in my opinion.""ALM Quality Center could be improved with more techniques to manage Agile processes."

More OpenText ALM / Quality Center Cons →

"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all.""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.""There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA.""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.""I would like to see better integration from the architectural side.""It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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. ​"
