Technical Solution Architect at Vodafone
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.

Accurately identifies what will be affected in production after a change or upgrade
The LiveCompare apps that my customers and I have benefitted from the most are analyses and reports on the following: * Upgrades – LiveCompare's Impact Analysis functionality accurately identifies what will be affected in production as the result of a change or an upgrade. It can also pinpoint accurately the scope of testing needed in anticipation of an upgrade. * Migration to SAP Hana – LiveCompare's unique reporting and advanced analytics streamline the entire migration process to SAP Hana, while minimizing costs, risk, and time. * SAP License management optimization. * Custom code analytics – Includes usage monitoring, quality and performance monitoring, Java analysis, and ABAP code quality. * Testing - LiveCompare optimizes the entire testing phase in upgrade projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Lots of new features are being rolled out by HP including the Business Process Testing (BPT) module which is at the cutting edge of testing, both manual and automation wise."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is the alignment of the test to the execution and the linking of the defects to the two."
"Cross project customization through template really helps to maintain standards with respect to fields, workflows throughout the available projects."
"I think the tools might be effective if we could utilize them better."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is a very good test management tool especially for writing test cases and uploading, as you can even upload the test cycles from Excel, get the defects and the reports, and also some automation using EFT which works with ALM."
"By using QC we broke down silos (of teams), improved the organization of our tests, have a much better view of the testing status, and became much quicker in providing test results with document generation."
"Business process management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Using LiveCompare allows us to automate many of the required tasks while gaining access to data needed to optimize our SAP environments with fewer resources than before."
"LiveCompare's unique reporting and advanced analytics streamline the entire migration process to SAP Hana, while minimizing costs, risk, and time."
"LiveCompare's Impact Analysis functionality identifies accurately what will be affected in production as the result of a change or an upgrade. It can also pinpoint accurately the scope of testing needed in anticipation of an upgrade."
"Using LiveCompare allows us to automate many of the required tasks while gaining access to data needed to optimize our SAP environments with fewer resources than before."
 

Cons

"If somebody's looking for an independent tool for test management, it's good, however, for other areas where you need to get the full integration without investment on other add-ons, this solution won't easily allow this."
"The dashboard was not working at first. Later on, it was difficult to customize it."
"This product wouldn't really be suitable if a company is in an Agile and DevOps transformation program."
"We operate in Sweden, and there are not so many Swedish people that know the product."
"Also, on and off, we have had some issues with the operation itself where the operation is not able to run the test or something. We have to go back and forth with the vendor and HPE (now Micro Focus) to get this resolved."
"License costs are still staggeringly high."
"Graphs can be further improved to manage more requirements at a time."
"An area for improvement in Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is not being able to update the Excel sheet where I wrote the test cases. Whenever I update some test cases, I'm unsuccessful because there is overlapping data or missing cases from the sheet."
"From my experience with the product, I would suggest adding a feature that would allow a customer who is reviewing the LiveCompare results to be able to connect remotely with one of IntelliCorp's experts (aside from their support) in order to assist the customer to better understand the results."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay around $30,000 for thirty users, translating to approximately $6,000 to $10,000 per user, which is high."
"It has several limitations in adapting its agility easily."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"I feel that the licenses are expensive. ​"
"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."
"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."
"Compared to the market, the price is high."
"The solution is priceed high."
"IntelliCorp is flexible in terms of licensing and the pricing structure. They are open to discussing a customer's specific requirements."
