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 product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases."
"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."
"AccuRev is a better tool in general."
"It has a user friendly UI which has been very much appreciated by our organization."
"The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue."
"I have used many solutions throughout my career, but this is the best there is."
"We have seen a bonified return on investment."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is its support for many automation technologies."
"It's helped in formalizing and adding structure to what was up to that point in time a series of checklists that were not version controlled."
"We can get an entire project into a single repository where we can view all the data in detail. This is where we keep all our test cases where everyone can reference them. This provides everyone access to the test cases and artifacts via the cloud. There is no need to contact anyone."
"It gave us control over the development of requirements and tests needed for the bank's transition from bespoke back-end systems to an Oracle banking system."
"QC has been invaluable in the past for documenting our testing process, especially when needed for audits."
"It allows us to easily make linkage and dependencies, with plenty of integrations."
"ALM has got really a good feature which captures screens, decodes them and puts them in a code format."
"I love to use this solution with single projects. It has helped our productivity. With the metrics that I receive, I can put them onto the management model so I can see them there. It has reduced our time for project management and controls by 20 percent."
 

Cons

"Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved."
"My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
"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."
"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."
"Limited reporting features for management."
"Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM."
"As an administrator, the ability to add users to their appropriate user groups from inside of the Site Administrator tool instead of having to log into the ALM project itself to make that user group assignment would be HUGE!"
"As soon as it's available on-premises we want to move to ALM Octane as it's mainly web based, has the capability to work with major tests, and integrates with Jenkins for continuous integration."
"Setup and upgrades are complex. Probably one of my biggest issues with the product is that it's so complex and hard to do."
"Bridge to JIRA and Tableau."
"The main barriers of entry are cost and implementation, especially if an enterprise implementation is the best solution"
"Upgrades are a nightmare and documentation is difficult to understand."
"The performance could be faster."
"ALM only works on Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on any other browser. In my opinion, Internet Explorer is generally a bit slower. I would like to see it work on Chrome or on other browsers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."
"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."
"Compared to the market, the price is high."
"The solution was expensive for us."
"I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
"The cost of licensing depends on the number of VMs that you are running test cases on and it is not cheap."
"Pricing could be improved as it's high-priced. I don't exactly know the pricing point, but previously, I know that it was really high so less people were able to use it for their projects."
"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)."
"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."
