Helps us with our compliance goals, native quality management systems and with the legacy systems in our organization
To improve the product, it needs some enhancement to the application's interface to be more user-friendly. The product has all the features that we need and we can depend upon it. My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual. That is my point. It is not very friendly to use. For example, we may need the application to be more friendly in other sorts of ways. If we have an integrated module that allows access to the features we want through one click, you do not need to make it two or three clicks on the screen. The interface can be better designed to easily provide access to the features you need. The feature I would like to see in the next release is just for it to be more friendly to use and to be like a smart application that intuits your movement through the application. It needs to be something that works smoothly and intelligent without any complicated navigation of screens.

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 solution is 100% scalable. It's much more scalable than the customer's capacity for implementing it. We do plan to increase usage ourselves."
"The solution is very scalable and it's been quite scalable for our organization's purpose."
"Easy to use on Window platform."
"The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Our original pre-sales technical contact is now in a different position within the sales organization, but is still willing to field questions, and get the right resources involved to speed up the delivery of customer service."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases."
"I have used many solutions throughout my career, but this is the best there is."
"The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue."
"We are able to use Micro Focus ALM Quality Center for test management, defect management, test process, test governance activities, and requirement management, and we are able to achieve all of this; the solution is very useful."
"It is designed to supplement the entire lifecycle and will definitely improve your productivity and traceability."
"Quality Center definitely adds value to an organization and over the long run has a positive ROI that will keep increasing over time primarily by saving time for users the more they use the functionality of all the modules."
"Helps in providing an archive of test suites for easy regression."
"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)."
"It works for us in terms of being able to track our test cases, absolutely being able to store results if we want to put in defects and build metrics."
"What they do best is test management. That's their strong point."
"The tool has increased the collaboration between different teams."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need."
"Source code conflicts are like evil twins."
"Limited reporting features for management."
"What I'm missing from the solution is a repository for the code. Something like Git, for example. Some sort of depository for the code that is embedded."
"Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved."
"Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM."
"The tool has an issue whereby it restarts its services on its own."
"The pricing should be more competitive."
"It is expensive."
"The QA needs improvement."
"It needs a feature for scheduling of automation scripts to run automatically."
"I think if we're looking at the legacy owned product, I think it's kind of come and gone as far as its ability to do what you need to do in a DevOps world."
"I would rate it a 10 if it had the template functionality on the web side, had better interfaces between other applications, so that we didn't have dual data entry or have to set up our own migrations."
"I've faced a couple of bugs in the product whereby we were not able to open attachments on a particular ticket."
"We are looking for more automation capabilities."
"Licensing model is awful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"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."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive."
"For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
"It has several limitations in adapting its agility easily."
"If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
"It all comes down to how many people are going to access the tool. When teams go above 20, I think ALM is a better tool to use from a collaboration and streamlining perspective."
"The solution is priceed high."
