OpenText Silk Central Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Test Analyst at Kainga Ora3.5I've used OpenText Silk Central for seven years; it's decent but lacks modern features like traceability matrices. Reporting is valuable, though it's more suited to Waterfall than Agile. I'd rate it 7 or 7.5 out of 10.
Test Governance at Poste Italiane4.0I use this solution for testing and project management, appreciating its real-time data and excellent stability. While customization is valuable, I need more flexibility, better end-to-end integration, and UI improvements. Support is strong.
Application Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0I've used this for two years. Its user-friendly GUI and keyword testing are great for team learning, and customer service is excellent. My main improvement would be the ability to schedule failed test executions.
Test Automation Lead at a insurance company with 5,001-10,000 employees2.5I value its defect management, but find reporting and planning weak. While stable, I’ve used better tools like JIRA and recommend exploring other market options for superior functionality.
Test Governance at Poste Italiane4.5After eight years, I value Silk Central's flexibility, easy onboarding, and strong reporting. Setup is fast, and support is good. Minor usability and mandatory field management improvements are desired, but it's a highly effective solution.
Quality Engineering at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees5.0I highly value this solution's execution planning for automation and its solid integration. It improved our configurability and stability, and I've experienced no issues with its quality, stability, or scalability. Customer service is great, and I recommend it for any project.
Senior Software Tester at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees3.5I find this product excellent for desktop and browser testing, significantly reducing manual effort. While setup was straightforward, it struggles with virtual machines and poor networks due to memory issues.
Senior Consultant at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees5.0I value its reporting and Caliber integration, offering a macro-view of tests and detailed reports. It's stable with good support, though I wish the portal was cleaner and faster. I recommend it.
