"I'd like to be able to improve how our QA department uses the tool, by getting better educational resources, documentation to help with competencies for my testers."
"The UI is very dated. Most applications these days have a light UI that can be accessed by pretty much any browser; QC still uses a UI which has a look almost the same for the past 20 years."
"They should specify every protocol or process with labels or names."
"We have had a poor experience with customer service and support."
"Certain applications within this solution are not really compatible with certain applications like ERP. The problem is when we're trying to use these applications or devices, the solution itself doesn't scale."
"ALM uses a waterfall approach. We have some hybrid approaches in the company and need a more agile approach."
"ALM Quality Center could be improved with more techniques to manage Agile processes."
"HP-QC does not support Agile. It is designed for Waterfall. This is the number one issue that we're facing right now, which is why we want to look for another tool. We're a pharmaceutical services company, so we require electronic signatures in a tool, but this functionality isn't available in HP-QC. We don't have 21 CFR, Part 11, electronic signatures, and we need compliant electronic signatures. Some of the ALM tools can toggle between tabular format and document format for requirements, but the same feature is not available in this solution. There is also no concept of base-lining or versioning. It doesn't exist."
"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable."
"It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."
"The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier."
"The server that we use is very slow so that is concerning for us."
"In Visual Studio we still don't have anything which can pinpoint memory leaks on a certain code line."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"Its UI could be better."
"Visual Studio Test Professional should include more automation."
