QE Manager at Capgemini
Feature-rich stable tool with multiple options to control output, good integration with other tools, and knowledgeable support team
The core functionality of the tool is automated test generation of optimized test suite; the tool has extensive list of options for the same. The product's integration with other tools sets it apart. It has integrations with many upstream (for requirements mapping) and downstream (export of test cases to various tools) products. It is like "plug-and-play". For any customized downstream tool, like our proprietary automation framework, support is provided for custom development. It is has features - Business AD - to use in Agile implementations. The latest version seems to have support for BDD/Gherkin as well, which we have not used much.

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 tool has the ability to integrate with various requirement management, test management, and version control tools."
"Though optimized and automated test generation is the core functionality, the product's integration with other tools sets it apart."
"I haven't faced any stability issues using the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The API to support integration of the homemade automated testing tool."
"The ability to time test runs gives the tester the ability to compare calculated times to actual times it takes for a test case to run."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the UI. The structure of test cases is easy to understand."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
"This is a user friendly solution."
"The biggest advantage of using TestRail is its simplicity and intuitive interface."
"I have integrated TestRail, Leapwork, and Jira together using PowerShell scripting, so when we have 100 test cases and before every release goes out to our customers, we kick off the regression run in Leapwork, and at runtime, when the test case passes, it reflects the results on TestRail, and if it fails, it automatically creates a Jira story and sends that story to our backlog for further investigation."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have a feature in the tool's UI to map object locators within the system."
"I would like to see the output data optionally used as input for the model, as further action in the flow."
"Even though the 4.1 version is a far-improved version from its earlier avatars, the performance of test generation is still an issue on real-time models we have."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"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 test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."
"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."
"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."
"TestRail should improve its pricing."
"It would be nice if they would add an export to Word."
"The TestRail API to integrate reporting of automated tests is complete, but requires many requests to identify the appropriate entry."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
"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."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."
"The product is not much expensive."
