Unified platform streamlines workflows though user interface needs improvement

The most valuable feature of PTC Integrity is its integration with our existing PTC tools, especially for drawing release activities. By using PTC Integrity, we have a unified platform that eliminates the need to switch between different systems for hardware and software tasks. This integration fosters real-time collaboration, allowing vendors to efficiently transfer details and share data through PTC Integrity. The platform also enables us to raise reports that other team members can access and utilize. Furthermore, the stable nature of the solution enhances its value, contributing to seamless operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."

"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."

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

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

"Complete traceability as per process requirements."

"PTC Integrity has good stability."

"The solution is flexible in terms of customization. You can bend and reformat it in many ways. You can also customize the APIs and public functions."

More PTC Integrity pros

"It helps with getting the alignment between strategy and execution for the product teams, all the way down to the delivery teams."

"The configurable Portfolio Management and parent-child relationships."

"The effect of these kind of tools drives the way you organize things. It helps you shape the way you flow."

"What I like most about Rally Software, in terms of using it for the agile process, is that it's clear, useful, and user-friendly. I also like that it has every field you can use for the Scrum process."

"We've actually used it for virtual PI planning. We have teams in different locations, and we actually virtually do PI planning, big-room planning, using the tools."

"The reporting, and being able to roll that up across the verticals, was an important selling point for us."

"The metrics - collecting metrics. It's because we've used several other tools in the past, and they don't give you a full indication of how well your teams are performing, at a portfolio level, at a product level, and at the team level."

"It drives the conversation behind some of the pain points the teams have, based on the data that we're able to pull out of the system. As a result of that, we're able to make better decisions, to become better as a whole."

More Rally Software pros

Cons

"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."

"The tool's web-based UI needs improvement. Some functionalities don't work yet, and querying items is slow. Also, it's not in the cloud yet. I don't know if they'll do it in the future because they already have core agreements with customers. If they offer these functionalities, customers will likely buy their product."

"From my experience over the years, I believe there might be room for improvement in PTC Integrity. While it's already a good product, it tends to be slower than other software. When it becomes bulky, it slows down even more, sometimes leading to crashes or hangs that require restarting the computer before being able to use PTC Integrity again. This has been my experience multiple times."

"The user-friendliness of PTC Integrity can be improved. The interface is not intuitive for first-time users and takes time to get accustomed to."

"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."

"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."

"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."

"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."

More PTC Integrity cons

"In Rally Software, the connection with GitLab and GitHub needs improvement."

"More importantly, we are seeing internal challenges from Atlassian because of their highly integrated suite that enables further automation and centralization of activities that are also highly necessary – messaging notifications cued off builds, collaboration on Solution Architecture Documentation, etc."

"A lot of the features that we would be looking to add, I am learning may not be within Agile Central, but part of another CA tool set."

"I wish there was a view, like the Kanban view, where you could see the parent, and see all the children visually, so you could drag and drop where you want it to go. Something like that might help."

"It is hard to track the changes. For example, we're in sprint 25, and then we have 26, 27, 28, and 29. Throughout that whole time, we're developing pipelines in Azure, moving to GitHub, creating pipelines, and working with teams. But sometimes, we need to revisit specific decisions made in previous sprints, like pipeline details. Maybe it's in our Azure Wiki, GitHub, or Teams, but it's not always consistent. I wish I could search for all tasks or stories related to that particular effort without needing to know everyone's individual stories or features."

"In terms of improvement, perhaps some more metrics. If they could add some additional, that would be cool."

"It requires better scalability for the implementation of the whole suite. We do not use it in that fashion, and visibility is sometimes a problem."

"The navigation within the tool sometimes is a little tricky for me. I'm sure with more use, more practice, I'll become accustomed to it, but some of the things just aren't intuitive."

More Rally Software cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"I understand it's a little more expensive. That is why many people prefer Jira."

"The license costs are fairly high as compared to some of the other solutions out there."

"We are always looking for a discount, if the solution was less expensive it would be a benefit."

"From a price point, it's a cost effective solution for our needs."

"It is expensive and may not be worthwhile for a small company."

"I don't know the exact pricing, but I think the tool is priced high. They provide quality workmanship, good software, regular upgrades, and they're always attentive and listen to users. Everything comes with a price. I think it's an expensive solution compared to Jira or other competitors, but it's a complete package."

"Frankly, pricing is expensive and needs to be carefully planned for when budgeting."

"Rally Software costs $50 a month, and for a base account, that price is acceptable."
