Helps us with our compliance goals, native quality management systems and with the legacy systems in our organization
To improve the product, it needs some enhancement to the application's interface to be more user-friendly. The product has all the features that we need and we can depend upon it. My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual. That is my point. It is not very friendly to use. For example, we may need the application to be more friendly in other sorts of ways. If we have an integrated module that allows access to the features we want through one click, you do not need to make it two or three clicks on the screen. The interface can be better designed to easily provide access to the features you need. The feature I would like to see in the next release is just for it to be more friendly to use and to be like a smart application that intuits your movement through the application. It needs to be something that works smoothly and intelligent without any complicated navigation of screens.

Manages multiple releases seamlessly
We have done some work with companies, probably four or five years ago and found the ability to manage multiple releases simultaneously as a main advantage, especially in complex programs with multiple concurrent releases. Running automated tests against back-level versions in certain environments is possible, and newer versions can be tested as well. It creates constant visibility into the test process, showing the status, bugs, and automated test results. It is a solid product in large corporations in Denmark, ensuring everyone knows where the process stands. There is a good understanding of what is critical, allowing prioritization of test cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost."
"Easy to use on Window platform."
"It has a user friendly UI which has been very much appreciated by our organization."
"AccuRev is a better tool in general."
"The solution is very scalable and it's been quite scalable for our organization's purpose."
"I have used many solutions throughout my career, but this is the best there is."
"The solution is 100% scalable. It's much more scalable than the customer's capacity for implementing it. We do plan to increase usage ourselves."
"The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue."
"I love linking/associating the requirements to a test case. That's where I get to know my requirement coverage, which helps a lot at a practical level. So, we use the traceability and visibility features a lot. This helps us to understand if there are any requirements not linked to any test case, thus not getting tested at all. That missing link is always very visible, which helps us to create our requirement traceability matrix and maintain it in a dynamic way. Even with changing requirements, we can keep on changing or updating the tool."
"For any company that wants a mature, highly developed platform that is constantly improving and needs to survive audits, you must consider HP ALM solutions such as HP Quality Center."
"The tool has increased the collaboration between different teams."
"As a standalone tool for managing testing, it is good."
"The product can scale."
"What's most valuable in Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is that it's useful for these activities: test designing, test planning, and test execution."
"Quality Center has improved my organization from a traceability and test coverage point of view."
"Allows us to do defect resolution from logging to resolution."
 

Cons

"Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM."
"The pricing should be more competitive."
"Source code conflicts are like evil twins."
"What I'm missing from the solution is a repository for the code. Something like Git, for example. Some sort of depository for the code that is embedded."
"The tool has an issue whereby it restarts its services on its own."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
"Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved."
"My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual."
"At this time, we don't feel that this solution has any value."
"I would like to see where the interface is better as it's not as user friendly in this release that we have, so I am hoping that it is improved with the latest version."
"Report generation needs to be simplified."
"I think the biggest challenge with ALM is getting useful data in one place."
"It needs a feature for scheduling of automation scripts to run automatically."
"Technical support is not that great. We really need to push to get HPE support to provide a resolution for technical issues."
"The Agile methodology is now being used across all the organizations, but in this solution, we don't have a dashboard like Jira. In Jira, you can move your product backlogs from one space to another and see the progress, that is, whether a backlog is in the development stage or testing stage. Micro Focus ALM Quality Center does not have this feature. It is typically very straightforward. You just execute the test cases from it, and you just make them pass, fail, or whatever. They can also improve its integration with Jira. The browser support needs to be improved in this because it supports only Internet Explorer as of now. It does not have support for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or any other browser. There are also some performance issues in it. Let's say that you are doing the testing, and you found something and are logging the defect. When you try to attach several or multiple screenshots with the defect, it slows down, which is a very common problem people face. I would like them to include a functionality where I am able to see the reports across all the projects. When you have multiple projects, being a manager, I would like to see the reports across all the projects. Currently, there is no single sign-on through which we can get all the information at one place. You need to log into it project-wise. If you have ten projects, you can't view the information in one dashboard."
"The reporting feature could be improved. It would be better if they simplified some things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."
"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."
"Quality Center is pricey, but cheaper is not always less expensive."
"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."
"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."
"It's a perpetual license."
"The solution was expensive for us."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
