Feature-rich stable tool with multiple options to control output, good integration with other tools, and knowledgeable support team
The core functionality of the tool is automated test generation of optimized test suite; the tool has extensive list of options for the same. The product's integration with other tools sets it apart. It has integrations with many upstream (for requirements mapping) and downstream (export of test cases to various tools) products. It is like "plug-and-play". For any customized downstream tool, like our proprietary automation framework, support is provided for custom development. It is has features - Business AD - to use in Agile implementations. The latest version seems to have support for BDD/Gherkin as well, which we have not used much.

Service provider recognizes effective project tracking and reporting capabilities
Regarding integration with various development tools, I can provide examples, and I am using customizable dashboards in OpenText ALM _ Quality Center, which definitely help identify project bottlenecks. As for the scalability of OpenText ALM _ Quality Center, there are limitations, particularly in agile methodologies, which is currently my main concern.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"Conformiq generates a unique and optimized set of test cases, maintains them to the current application version by removing those for obsolete functionality, and, with proper integration to the automation framework, has enabled in-release and in-sprint automation for us."
"Conformiq integrates well with various automation tools and auto-generates between 60% and 80% of the automation scripts."
"This product helps with understanding the design tool for the test case generation without manual writing of test cases in Excel."
"What I love about it is that it can be used for the entire lifecycle (from requirements to release) and the dashboard is great for reporting."
"The ability to keep test cases and defects centrally located, accessible to multiple people instead of in document format, is the most valuable feature."
"Being a large SAP shop, having the ability to track individual issues to a defined release is a key function."
"The test-case repository and linkage through to regression requirements will absolutely be a key component for us. We haven't got it yet, but when we've got an enterprise regression suite, that will be a key deliverable for them. We will be able to have all of the regression suite in one place, linked to the right requirements."
"A centralized and unified repository of requirements and testing artifacts with access across geographies in real time improved efficiency and efficacy of application lifecycle management, including integration of the Test Automation tool (HPE UFT tool)."
"For testing processes and improvements, I would suggest you use this product."
"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."
"What they do best is test management. That's their strong point."
 

Cons

"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."
"We have limited widgets available in the tool to design UI flow."
"Improvements on the List item widget and Table widget are needed."
"The reporting features could be improved."
"The UI is primitive."
"ALM is a dated application, and I am researching to see what other solutions are available."
"ALM has not directly assisted scalability. I wouldn't say ALM assists with scalability at all."
"We are having a lot of problems with this product and we're now looking at other options."
"It needs Pure-FTPd WebUI and single sign-on."
"Pricing is not my area, but in general, what I've seen when reading articles is that it is costly."
"The reporting could be a little more robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing fee is a little expensive."
"I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it is pricey. When we talked to the sales reps we work with from our company, they say, "Well, Micro Focus will never lose on price." So, they are willing to do a lot of negotiating if it is required."
"It is very expensive as compared to other tools. We didn't get their premier version. It is a lesser version, and to upgrade, there will be an additional cost for us."
"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."
"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."
"It's a perpetual license."
"The cost of licensing depends on the number of VMs that you are running test cases on and it is not cheap."
"Quality Center is pricey, but cheaper is not always less expensive."
