"The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility, ease of use for writing new test cases, the test plans, and the composition."
"The API to support integration of the homemade automated testing tool."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"The most valuable features are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."
"I use the solution for test management."
"Integration with Confluence and JIRA."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature is the in-built support for C# and .NET projects."
"The solution is easy to use and they have also integrated with Microsoft."
"The interface is easy to use."
"Performance-wise, it is a great tool."
"The documentation is easy, and it helps us solve our problems."
"The setup is easy and straightforward."
"The solution is very useful for compiling existing projects and developing new projects."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."
"TestRail's user interface is not great. When you use it for the first time, you will be very uncomfortable and not know how to create test cases. It doesn't have a field for preconditions and post-conditions."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."
"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"Sometimes Visual Studio is slow. It uses a lot of resources like memory and processing power. You should optimize the performance by only installing what you need on your machine. Don't install unnecessary things that will slow your machine."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
"One of the problems with this solution is you need to be highly technically skilled to operate it, it is not for everyone."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Sometimes, the solution hangs, so its performance could be improved."
"It could be available for multiple platforms and other operating systems like Mac with a native port."
