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.

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

"We have seen a bonified return on investment."
"I have used many solutions throughout my career, but this is the best there is."
"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."
"The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost."
"AccuRev is a better tool in general."
"It has a user friendly UI which has been very much appreciated by our organization."
"Easy to use on Window platform."
"What caused us to switch to this solution was the customizability."
"I like that it integrates with the Jira solutions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ST Add-In. It's a Microsoft add-in that makes it much easier to upload test cases into Quality Center."
"The solution's support team was always there to help."
"Traceability of bugs to script execution (Test Lab) to Script (Test Plan) to Requirements, Easy to use."
"Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"ALM helps focus on requirements, test, and the execution, track your defects, etc."
 

Cons

"Limited reporting features for management."
"Source code conflicts are like evil twins."
"The tool has an issue whereby it restarts its services on its own."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
"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."
"The pricing should be more competitive."
"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."
"Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved."
"Its performance is horrible, and it's unnecessarily complex, which means the local site administrators set it up to be used in very unproductive ways."
"Performance issues are very common. The degradation of performance and consequent failures continuously happen."
"ALM is a dated application, and I am researching to see what other solutions are available."
"The integration could be improved because with Agile technology you are working more quickly than with a top-down methodology."
"This will take a lot of training and convincing of end-users."
"The initial setup was not straightforward."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."
"If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
"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."
"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."
"It's a perpetual license."
"The solution is priceed high."
"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."
"We pay around $30,000 for thirty users, translating to approximately $6,000 to $10,000 per user, which is high."
"ALM Quality Center is a little bit costly."
