Generating audit evidence effortlessly saves time and money

OpenText ALM Octane is a new product with full development ongoing, where new ideas are launched regularly. Its ability to generate audit evidence with a single click is a significant advantage, as it saves considerable time and money compared to manual processes. This efficiency is especially valuable for audits required by financial regulators.

Customization has enabled long-term document and requirement management for complex projects

PTC Integrity should get rid of the old thick client and move everything to the thin client. The thin client should be made the single source of truth, the way it is for Codebeamer. PTC Integrity should try to integrate this with AI and should have automatic requirement to test case mapping and other AI features that are in Codebeamer. It is not easy for people to migrate from one tool to another, even though it is from the same product. PTC took over the In-Link product, so if I have to migrate my Integrity to In-Link, why would I replicate everything here? People are happy with what they have. The only headache is the thick client, which is a problem for the installation team. By having a thin client, people can directly open it from the web browser and it would be much easier and much better than a thick client on the system. With a thick client, you have Java installation that needs to be done and you have all those certificates to be installed for SSL. With a thin client, it would be much better and you could do all the administrative things also in that. I don't understand why they want a thick client. They could replace it with a thin client, the way it is for Codebeamer. They should incorporate all the AI things. PTC Integrity should become another tool with all the new features and new enhancements, and they should eliminate the thick client altogether.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For our use case, it's brought our entire team into a single tool, we're all looking at the same real-time data, and our project management office has been able to set up dashboards for individual teams and do comparisons by teams, of integration and cross-team integration, burn-up, burn-down, and cumulative flow types of things."

"The filtering options are very good once you learn them. The document reports are also valuable. You can create reports in Word and PDF formats. That's very useful."

"The key feature is the usability. It is fast to learn and easy to use. It's very intuitive to work with. Most of the important functions are available via a few clicks, compared to other tools where I have to open a sub-menu and then a sub-menu and another sub-menu, and then press a button."

"Our team is saving time on testing by using Octane."

"Backlog management is the most valuable feature. This was a capability that was missing or difficult to achieve in ALM Quality Center."

"The ability to generate audit evidence with a single click saves ten days of work for ten people, enabling them to focus on other tasks."

"Micro Focus' technical support is good."

"There are a lot of predefined reports. We can attach additional reports for users, like who worked on what defect and when, as well as what is the status of the release compared to the previous release. It is really endless. All the data is really linked together. Then, if all the data is linked together, there is an option to prepare reports out of it. We are very impressed with its reporting capabilities."

More OpenText Software Delivery Management pros

"I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn."

"The product is powerful and stable."

"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."

"This tools improve teams productivity, a lot of flexibility for automation."

"I have found that previously, the OEM sector was managing everything, possibly manually. However, with the introduction of the product, it has become much easier for customers to handle their products. Previously, customers were using different software to manage their products. However, PTC Integrity offers a solution for requirements management, test management, and even development to support live ticket management. So instead of using multiple software tools, we can use it for all these purposes."

"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."

"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."

"PTC Integrity has good stability."

Cons

"The tool's price is high, making it an area where improvement is high."

"Though Micro Focus ALM Octane doesn't have much of a bug, it lacks integration with some solutions. For example, my company has fairly new software, but it can't be integrated with Micro Focus ALM Octane, so integration with other software, particularly with less popular software, could be improved. Micro Focus ALM Octane also requires a lot of resources during its setup, and I find this another area for improvement. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Micro Focus ALM Octane is the ability to customize the interface, especially when doing a manual test."

"I haven't been impressed with the reporting from a requirements matrix and a traceability perspective."

"Technical support can be slow."

"One of the things that a lot of our project teams have complained about is the simplicity of reporting that's available in Octane, and that they have to export data out of it in order to create the types of reports that their PMO or their client wants to see."

"Security and security management, meaning the integration of the security, could be enhanced."

"I have yet to experience the CI/CD part of Micro Focus ALM Octane but as demonstrated by the team who is providing the services, I see that the CI/CD could improve."

"Promoting it more could help a lot of projects."

More OpenText Software Delivery Management cons

"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."

"I am writing this review because I don't think there's a fair portrayal online of how cumbersome the GUI is, and how difficult the software is to use."

"To be honest, the third controller system is kind of old. There are lots of transactional changes that have not been implemented in PTC. If you have a larger project, for example, whenever you give bits and need to change 10,000 files you can just commit them. But here the work style is a little more file based, so you'll have to take care of almost all the files individually. It's not a single commit like you do here, but rather you have to allocate time for each component or file that you want to check in or commit. That's a very big issue."

"PTC Integrity is causing us a headache. We have to install it in 3,000 different systems."

"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version."

"It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use."

"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version. Administration and adding/removing fields, etc. cannot be done on the web version. People want solutions that are compatible with Android. I also want to have a version by which I can bulk edit all the fields."

"You can use it for things from the previous decade. After 2010, whatever you want to do in terms of programming is very unusable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you compare the price with the functionality, it is pretty much the same as other solutions. If you compare it to Jira, for instance, it has a lot more functionality. You don't need any plug-ins, but it's also more expensive. Once you start adding your different plug-ins to Jira, you'll probably end up with the same amount or more. There is also a yearly support cost, which is usually 25% of the initial cost of the license."

"In my opinion, it's good value for the price that you pay."

"Going forward, I think we will want to explore adding more licenses."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight on a scale from one to ten, where ten is very expensive."

"The solution has reduced our testing costs."

"For what it does, it's very reasonably priced. I like the licensing model as well, because it's very flexible. You can scale licenses up and down for short periods of time."

"It's expensive. HPE products, and now Micro Focus, have always been expensive. The license is not cheap, and it will always be a challenge, particularly for small organizations like ours."

"The comparison is always with Jira, so the pricing of Octane is a bit on the higher side. But if you look at what you have to add to Jira, on the plug-in side, to have the same abilities you have with Octane, you're more or less even, or even ahead with Octane."
