Agile planning has improved daily coordination but reporting and dashboards still need more flexibility
I would like to see more advanced reporting and analytics customization. The existing dashboards are useful for tracking velocity, backlog, and delivery, but deeper real-time insights would improve decision-making. I would also like simpler integrations and more flexibility, especially across large teams and complex projects. Another improvement I would like is more flexible reporting and dashboard customization, especially for creating organization-specific metrics. More intuitive visualizations would also help. Digital.ai Agility can be improved mainly by making reporting and dashboard customization more flexible and intuitive. I would also like simpler integrations with third-party tools and easier configurations of automated workflows. Better dependency visualizations and real-time alerts for delivery risk would help large teams identify blockers earlier. The user interface could also be simplified to make it easier for new users. Overall, these improvements would make day-to-day planning, reporting, and cross-team coordination more efficient. There are a few areas where improvements are needed. I would like to see further improvements in user experience and navigation, especially making commonly used features easier to access for new users. More intuitive dashboard customization, better dependency visualization, and simpler third-party integrations would also help.

Manages multiple releases seamlessly
We have done some work with companies, probably four or five years ago and found the ability to manage multiple releases simultaneously as a main advantage, especially in complex programs with multiple concurrent releases. Running automated tests against back-level versions in certain environments is possible, and newer versions can be tested as well. It creates constant visibility into the test process, showing the status, bugs, and automated test results. It is a solid product in large corporations in Denmark, ensuring everyone knows where the process stands. There is a good understanding of what is critical, allowing prioritization of test cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through."
"Overall, the biggest benefits have been better delivery visibility, improved planning, faster decision-making, and reduced administrative effort."
"I prefer Agility out of the three applications we work with because it has the most flexibility and can work at a higher level."
"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."
"VersionOne delivers a total ALM solution for whether you are operating a single team, like Scrum and Kanban for IT operations, or implementing an agile enterprise approach, like SAFe."
"The solution is excellent for collaboration; from the agility point of view, they have very good sprint functionality, allowing you to set up sprints effectively."
"The most valuable thing is kind of the whole package together."
"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity."
"ALM is a well-known product and is one of the pioneers in providing test management facilities with a 360 degree view of requirements."
"Quality Center is a very powerful tool."
"So the first impression that hits me about HP UFT 14.0 (formerly QTP) is that it seems to be a whole lot faster! But that could be subjective, as I'm running it on a high end gaming system."
"The most beneficial feature of test management in this solution is its ability to manage multiple releases simultaneously."
"Prior to using Quality Center, my organization used spreadsheets and emails to track testing efforts, therefore, QC helped my team become more efficient by tracking all testing activities with the tool."
"Test Execution (Test Lab): This allows us to track our manual tests with date and time and enter actual results and screenshots."
"It saves time, and definitely mitigates risks in having products which are not very well built, to having a product which will perform well and function well once it goes live."
"With HP ALM, I think it's the fact that it's a self-contained application so we can do everything inside the application and we only need to use this one tool."
 

Cons

"It was not supporting some plugins. We wanted to migrate data that we were already using."
"The user interface could also be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"The response from Digital.ai Agility is a little bit slow and could be faster."
"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."
"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."
"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."
"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."
"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."
"Is not very user-friendly."
"GUI colours not that great"
"I frankly don't recommend Micro Focus solutions. The support is not good and the documentation is not consistent."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability and stability of the solution."
"Return on investment isn't something I often contemplate. I have not seen many business cases around it."
"As for the scalability of OpenText ALM _ Quality Center, there are limitations, particularly in agile methodologies, which is currently my main concern."
"When a particular version of Quality Center has reached end of life, the customer is forced to upgrade to the newer version to be eligible to get technical support."
"Licensing model is awful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."
"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."
"It has several limitations in adapting its agility easily."
"ALM Quality Center is a little bit costly."
"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."
"We have divided our licenses between Micro Focus ALM and ALM Octane. It works for us."
"I've never been in the procurement process for it. I don't think it is cheap. Some of the features can be quite expensive."
"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."
"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive. The price is approximately £2,000 per person, they are too expensive to corner the market."
