Helped with agile testing, provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities but visibility of test cases could be improved
QMetry has different aspects. It provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities while running tests. It has a recorder integrated. If you run a test on an application, it will record every aspect of it. For example, if you execute a user scenario, it will record what the user does within the application and generate a script. This can also be used for quick automation. Moreover, if we have an automation framework, QMetry can integrate with it. QMetry can also handle load testing in web-based applications. We have integrated it with a bug-tracking system, but not for automation. It was not difficult to integrate it. This integration was mainly for reporting purposes, such as creating reports directly from QMetry.

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

"The best benefit was for new hires. We used to write our test cases in simple English within QMetry, so anyone who knew English could understand them. This helped with training new hires."
"TestRail has had a strong positive impact on the organization, mainly by improving test management efficiency, release visibility, and overall QA coordination."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"The biggest advantage of using TestRail is its simplicity and intuitive interface."
"I use the solution for test management."
"I use the product to create test cases and share them with my team and manager."
"It is a centralized solution for whoever is working in a project; they are able to see which user story is tagged to which test case and what the result is, how many test cases were written for a particular user story, and what the status is, and this can all be tracked easily."
"This product completes our production line based on continuous integration (using Jenkins) by acquiring all tests results, manual and fully automated into a single platform, which is connected with our bug reporting system (Trac), and offers a full view of test campaigns for each product and version we develop."
"I haven't faced any stability issues using the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"For me, the visibility could be improved. When executing a test case, you needed to open it separately to read the steps."
"TestRail is a strong tool overall, but there are several areas where it could be better."
"The platform needs improvement regarding performance and creating links."
"I would not recommend this solution."
"Their customer support could be improved. Sometimes we struggle with that. It could be faster. Whenever we raise any query, they get back to you but the turnaround time is very slow."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"It would be useful if it had its own issue management system. At the moment, it's purely a test management tool and you have to link to a defect management tool, like JIRA. It would be useful if there was an option to use its own defect management tool so that it's integrated and not two separate tools."
"I do see room for lots of improvement in it. In terms of usability, duplication with test cases and constant creation of projects isn't easy. There is also too much API integration into automation tools, which is not there in ALM with UFT. Instead of setting it up as a project and using it, we set it up as a system for usability. It also lacks in the traceability aspect. For traceability, you need to use the JIRA plugin and drag traceability on JIRA, but the functionality is still quite limited. The biggest gap is mainframe testing. It would be good if I could start with mainframe testing. Manual granting of access is another issue. There is no API that I could use with another system where it is automated. There is an API for loading somebody to a project but not for adding to the application."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"QMetry was cheaper than Xray, which was based on the number of users."
"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."
"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."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."
"The product is not much expensive."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
