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."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."
"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."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
"The most valuable features of TestRail by Gurock are the user experience, it's very easy to learn. There is no learning curve needed to work on projects and manage the test cases, it is easy. Exporting and importing are simple."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had any issues with it."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"I use the solution for test management."
"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."
 

Cons

"For me, the visibility could be improved. When executing a test case, you needed to open it separately to read the steps."
"There are a number of improvements that have been requested. While I don't have a list of these requests available, many can be found on Gurock's forum."
"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."
"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."
"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."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"The reports should be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"QMetry was cheaper than Xray, which was based on the number of users."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
"The product is not much expensive."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."
"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."
"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
