Facilitates agile transformation with potential for enhanced intuitiveness
What I liked about the solution is that it offers numerous features that are not available by default unless you are agile. Transitioning from the traditional Waterfall model to an agile methodology was challenging for us. Until 2020, our team predominantly worked with the Waterfall approach, using local tools like ServiceNow. We had a few team members who were familiar with Agile ISO, but none had experience with Azure. Therefore, we pursued Azure certification at the AZ-900 level. Our company organized a training session with a certified Azure expert, which was extremely beneficial for adopting best practices during the initial three months. This preparation helped us get accustomed to the new tool, as transitioning to a new system invariably requires time. Managing a pipeline of deliverables became significantly easier with this solution. We utilized it for stories and integrated change management with Azure DevOps. Eventually, everything related to the environment was organized there, enabling us to follow up and track progress with our technical engineers on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis. Reports were automatically generated and sent to management, offering them insights into our progress concerning the predefined roadmap.

Helps to create tasks, change requests and documentation
I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn. The tool has a dashboard that details our projects and products, including the number of tasks, change requests, and their statuses (incomplete or complete). Having all this data within the solution makes collaborating easy for our project team. Unlike using multiple tools, having everything we need in one software platform is convenient. I rate the tool's user experience and interface a nine point five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fields can be customized and the reporting is good."
"Our technical sales staff and business development people need to know how far the developers are on any product that we're developing. DevOps makes it easier for you to see how far along they are with the work because they have a repository where they store everything. There is a portal where you can see what has been done, what has been tested, what is working, and what isn't. I have a huge dashboard with an overview of what the development team is doing from an executive point of view."
"It's a complete solution that has everything you need."
"What I like the most about this product is that it's free and it's secure."
"I like the cloud infrastructure of Microsoft Azure DevOps."
"We can eliminate some of the middleman processes."
"I like the tracking and that we can monitor our velocity."
"It is good for the purpose it is designed for. It is good for maintaining a repository of application code, creating pipelines for deploying the code, building the code, and deploying the code. It can be easily used by developers. There are no issues."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
"Complete traceability as per process requirements."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"I have found that previously, the OEM sector was managing everything, possibly manually. However, with the introduction of the product, it has become much easier for customers to handle their products. Previously, customers were using different software to manage their products. However, PTC Integrity offers a solution for requirements management, test management, and even development to support live ticket management. So instead of using multiple software tools, we can use it for all these purposes."
"The solution is flexible in terms of customization. You can bend and reformat it in many ways. You can also customize the APIs and public functions."
"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a bit more project tracking."
"As for room for improvement, more features need to be added to the classic pipeline. The build and release pipelines are present, but there has not been much improvement there."
"I think that the integration is to some extent, immature."
"I would like to see better interoperability with the agile scaling frameworks."
"There are certain features, and reporting that can only be used in PowerBI, but not directly in DevOps."
"Definitely, there should be more integration between GitHub and Azure DevOps."
"Those processes are a bit difficult for some customers who may not have technical knowledge and don't go through the entire documentation."
"Azure has not yet advanced to the performance level of the other major competitors and is missing integration with important technologies."
"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"The tool's web-based UI needs improvement. Some functionalities don't work yet, and querying items is slow. Also, it's not in the cloud yet. I don't know if they'll do it in the future because they already have core agreements with customers. If they offer these functionalities, customers will likely buy their product."
"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."
"The user-friendliness of PTC Integrity can be improved. The interface is not intuitive for first-time users and takes time to get accustomed to."
"To be honest, the third controller system is kind of old. There are lots of transactional changes that have not been implemented in PTC. If you have a larger project, for example, whenever you give bits and need to change 10,000 files you can just commit them. But here the work style is a little more file based, so you'll have to take care of almost all the files individually. It's not a single commit like you do here, but rather you have to allocate time for each component or file that you want to check in or commit. That's a very big issue."
"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."
"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."
"It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase the solution on an annual basis."
"This product could maybe be cheaper. My organization handled licensing, so I'm not aware of which subscription they have."
"The pricing is very competitive because of the whole development cycle by Azure DevOps. You don't have to buy and integrate several different tools."
"I don't have a problem with the pricing."
"It is the least expensive product in this class."
"It is a subscription model and I only pay for what I use."
"We do not pay licenses for this solution."
"There are additional costs for some functionality, such as increased scalability."
"The product is expensive."
