Collaboration and setup efficiency stand out, though integration and local support need improvement

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. For Scrum teams, it is particularly good and easy to set up. With respect to sprints and getting metrics out, such as velocity and related measurements, the functionality is robust. The Scrum boards are particularly effective. Based on my colleague's exploration and setup, I observed how easily the team was able to use it. The integration with that tool was particularly helpful.

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

"With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability."

"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."

"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."

"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."

"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity."

"For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not too hard to deploy."

"The solution is very user-friendly."

"Because of global test documentation, testing can be resourced most effectively each test cycle (including outsourcing)."

"Quality Center is a very powerful tool."

"It is beneficial for managing testing data and has integration with Excel, allowing us to download reports easily."

"Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"Technical Support is great and always responsive to solve the issues."

"I highly recommend HPE Quality Center for its simplicity and ease of use whereby Business and Technical teams can see each other's progress and help make better decisions."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."

"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."

"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."

"It was not supporting some plugins. We wanted to migrate data that we were already using."

"We found some difficulty in working with it, as we're a large organization."

"It's not intuitive in that way, which has always been a problem, especially with business users."

"Pricing may be a factor prompting a look at competitor products and differentiators or open source options with limited product features."

"Having to switch to ALM is a bit of a disappointment. You lose lots of functionality, for example VOV in comparison, baseline reporting."

"The web client doesn't match the quality of the rest of the features of this solution."

"It is not a scalable solution."

"This will take a lot of training and convincing of end-users."

"Expensive tool which could become an overload on the budget in the future."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."

"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."

"HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."

"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."

"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive."

"Most vendors offer the same pricing, though some vendors offer a cheaper price for their cloud/SaaS solution versus their on-premise. However, cloud/SaaS solutions result in a loss of freedom. E.g., if you want to make a change, most of the time it needs to be validated by the vendor, then you're being charged an addition fee. Sometimes, even if you are rejected, you are charged because it's a risk to the entire environment."

"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."

"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)."

"Depending on the volume, the annual maintenance costs vary on a percentage but it's around $300 a year per license for maintenance. It's at 18% of the total cost of the license."

"Compared to the market, the price is high."
