Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases.""The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost.""The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue."

"It scales very well. It improves in technology constantly and gets up to speed with the latest and greatest.""We can work better and at a higher quality, than we were able to before.""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.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the Kanban board.""What I like the most about Agile Central is that it is the only system I need to have full control and visibility of our entire body of work plus the activities and processes required to deliver it.""It documents stories in a way where we do not have to be heavy on front-end requirements, front-end documentation, and front-end workflows.""The product has excellent customizable reports.""We have teams come and go all the time. We have teams in India, America, Ireland, Poland, Italy, England... we are spread out everywhere! Rally is our key tool for scrum planning and our single source of truth, and it handles it all flawlessly."

Cons
"The pricing should be more competitive.""In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need.""It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available.""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."

More OpenText AccuRev Cons →

"CA Agile Central does not have a workflow tool included.""The product needs to have more integration capabilities.""As it is right now, it does not support automation of the quality assurance process. It just supports manual testing.""One problem I see is that if there is a dependent user story - for example, if my team is working on one thing and there is a dependent user story from another team - we can have a dependency created but we don't know if there is a change of status from the other team. That is something which is very important for Agile Central to look into so that if the other team makes any changes we will be notified as well.""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.""We did submit an enhancement request. I think a lot of teams that do very large scale products have the same issue. They just do not realize it would help them.""I'd like to be able to color code timeboxes, so I have an easy visual way to track the success of sprints.""I would like for workspace admins to be able to hide projects in the Project Picker and not lose any historical data; make them invisible to certain users, visible to certain users, depending on permission sets. That would be lovely."
