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

"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."
"I have used many solutions throughout my career, but this is the best there is."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases."
"AccuRev is a better tool in general."
"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."
"It has a user friendly UI which has been very much appreciated by our organization."
"We have seen a bonified return on investment."
"ALM is for sure scalable."
"It is stable and reliable."
"It provides visibility on release status and readiness."
"We have developers, project managers, stakeholders, everybody referring to one single point-of-truth for everything that is related to a project, from requirements, test cases, coverage, defect tracking, and reporting."
"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."
"Defects and Test management were earlier conducted with the help of Excel sheets, and now they are tracked in the Quality Center leading to accountability, dashboards, and being tracked in a single place."
"I think the tools might be effective if we could utilize them better."
"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."
 

Cons

"Limited reporting features for management."
"The tool has an issue whereby it restarts its services on its own."
"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."
"Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM."
"The pricing should be more competitive."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
"Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved."
"Source code conflicts are like evil twins."
"The product could do with more native integration for agile projects, a greatly reduced cost model and closer integration with products that are non-HP."
"The UI is primitive."
"I am not an end user so I can't really say. But, I would like to see improvement in the price."
"Tighter integration between ALM and UFT, especially from a reporting perspective, for automation reporting. We currently run into reporting issues."
"The main barriers of entry are cost and implementation, especially if an enterprise implementation is the best solution"
"It has several limitations in adapting its agility easily."
"Setup and upgrades are complex. Probably one of my biggest issues with the product is that it's so complex and hard to do."
"HP-QC does not support Agile. It is designed for Waterfall."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to the market, the price is high."
"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."
"The solution is priceed high."
"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."
"We have divided our licenses between Micro Focus ALM and ALM Octane. It works for us."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"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."
"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."
