Test Team Lead at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
Flexible and intuitive with easy reporting, and good support that is instantly available through chat
It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time. This is not an issue if you only have one bug tracker but we can potentially use different tools for different projects. As an example, if you connect PractiTest to Jira for one project, that's the one you have to use for all projects. We had a requirement to connect with Jira for one project, and a different tool for another, project but it was unable to accommodate that unfortunately. I would therefore like to see it easier to integrate with bug tracking tools at project level which would give each project the opportunity to use a different bug tracker if required.

Release and Test Manager at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Provides quick test management for agile workflows but lacks customization for reporting and dashboards
The analytics and reporting capabilities in TestRail are not very extensive and tailorable. This doesn't make it very suitable for enterprise level programs. With OpenText, you have a lot of flexibility. I'm talking about the old version of ALM, the desktop client, which I used when it was still Micro Focus ALM. It has a tremendous ability to generate different types of reports. You can build different graphs, have Word document format, Excel format, or write your own Excel queries and incorporate that into your own reporting. TestRail has one type of format. If you want to generate a test summary report, there is basically only one format that you can use. You can't add your own components. You can choose which portions of your test results you want to include by selecting certain sections, but you don't have freedom to add and remove sections yourself. It's predefined and all that you can do is just take out the ones that you don't want. It is usable, but it's not tailorable, it's not configurable, it just gives you the bare minimum. It depends on what you use the tool for. If you want to use TestRail for enterprise-level waterfall projects with traditional reporting and a lot of analytics, it's not good enough because the analytics, dashboards, and reporting are not really there. However, if you use it for agile and you want quick and easy with very simple functionality, then it's very good because it's simple to use. For agile use cases, it's great and you don't need more than that. But if you are looking for an enterprise tool or waterfall project with large programs, even the enterprise version is not sufficient. There's no significant difference from the basic version. The only thing that you really get is the ability to have multiple project reporting, but the reporting itself is limited. There are no configurable dashboards. You can report across multiple projects, which is great, but the type of reports that you can run are limited to the current set of built-in reports. That's not good enough for enterprise level with multiple project and large programs. You want multiple reports across multiple projects and you want the tailorability and configurability of having dashboards and analytics, which TestRail is weak on for the enterprise level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Helped organise the manual test cases so they were documented correctly, which was invaluable as it allowed for reviewing and improving of test scripts so they could be followed by a number of different people which helped with resourcing."
"Since we started using this product, our organization's testing functionality has really improved."
"This is a good solution for a global transnational company."
"The most valuable feature is the way the libraries are structured so that they were not folder driven."
"PractiTest gives us the opportunity to control the testing process efficiently and saves us a lot of time that we had to spend while using other tools."
"Converting a couple of these test plans into PractiTest was amazing and made a world of difference."
"In addition, we found PractiTest very user-friendly and customizable."
"Technical support of PractiTest is awesome. They are always ready to help in any time zone, which makes them stand out from others."
"This is a user friendly solution."
"Most valuable features are the ease of organizing test cases and a great API for sending results from automated test run results into the database."
"The functionality and the usage, and usability of TestRail is much better than any other product."
"I use the solution for test management."
"A lot of cases can be organised with workflows and become scenario-based."
"It's very easy to use and simple with a low level of complexity. There are pros and cons with complex tools, but the advantage of TestRail is that it fits in really well with an agile life cycle."
"The reporting is the most valuable feature; I can easily manipulate the reports into the pie charts and statistics and so on, and this is very useful."
"The biggest advantage of using TestRail is its simplicity and intuitive interface."
 

Cons

"It does not offer server installation, only software as a service."
"Needs to improve adding the ability to run tests multiple times and setting different parameters."
"PractiTest practically requires a lot of sandboxing, demos with their team, and online tutorials."
"It doesn't allow you to connect to multiple different bug tracking tools at the same time."
"There are some features that I would like added: an option to export a part of tests with steps."
"Yes, there are times when server is very slow in response."
"The product is not focused on synthetic data creation. I would also like to see more integrations with other platforms."
"In TestRail, there is significant difficulty with roles and rights. They are not in the mainstream."
"Customer support could be enhanced. All the support is provided via chat and emails. Sometimes, you really need to speak to a person, and arranging such calls is not easy."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"TestRail's user interface is not great. When you use it for the first time, you will be very uncomfortable and not know how to create test cases. It doesn't have a field for preconditions and post-conditions."
"Better prediction of text."
"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is probably in the middle, it's not the cheapest but it's not the most expensive."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."
"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."
"The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."
