Agile planning has improved daily coordination but reporting and dashboards still need more flexibility

I would like to see more advanced reporting and analytics customization. The existing dashboards are useful for tracking velocity, backlog, and delivery, but deeper real-time insights would improve decision-making. I would also like simpler integrations and more flexibility, especially across large teams and complex projects. Another improvement I would like is more flexible reporting and dashboard customization, especially for creating organization-specific metrics. More intuitive visualizations would also help. Digital.ai Agility can be improved mainly by making reporting and dashboard customization more flexible and intuitive. I would also like simpler integrations with third-party tools and easier configurations of automated workflows. Better dependency visualizations and real-time alerts for delivery risk would help large teams identify blockers earlier. The user interface could also be simplified to make it easier for new users. Overall, these improvements would make day-to-day planning, reporting, and cross-team coordination more efficient. There are a few areas where improvements are needed. I would like to see further improvements in user experience and navigation, especially making commonly used features easier to access for new users. More intuitive dashboard customization, better dependency visualization, and simpler third-party integrations would also help.

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

"I prefer Agility out of the three applications we work with because it has the most flexibility and can work at a higher level."

"Overall, the biggest benefits have been better delivery visibility, improved planning, faster decision-making, and reduced administrative effort."

"For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."

"With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability."

"The solution is excellent for collaboration; from the agility point of view, they have very good sprint functionality, allowing you to set up sprints effectively."

"You can use Digital.ai Agility for automating your tasks and creating your dashboard."

"The most valuable thing is kind of the whole package together."

"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."

More Digital.ai Agility pros

"ALM can scale and is very impressive."

"If you want a good tool that is robust and is very user-friendly and capable of supporting a program with multiple streams or multiple workstreams, ALM would be the perfect tool."

"Easily integrates with Oracle e-Business Suite."

"You can maintain your test cases and requirements. You can also log the defects in it and make the traceability metrics out of it. There are all sorts of things you can do in this. It is not that complex to use. In terms of user experience, it is very simple to adopt. It is a good product."

"The application itself tends to be very stable, but when switching to an open-source website, that's where the issues are."

"It's our main hub for everything around testing, especially when it comes to defect and department management."

"Reporting was the main thing because, at my level, I was looking for a picture of exactly what the coverage was, which areas were tested, and where the gaps were. The reporting also allowed me to see test planning and test cases across the landscape."

"The most valuable feature is definitely its scalability, as it covers the life cycle end-to-end, from requirements to test execution and defect management."

Cons

"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."

"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."

"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."

"The response from Digital.ai Agility is a little bit slow and could be faster."

"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."

"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."

"It was not supporting some plugins. We wanted to migrate data that we were already using."

"The user interface could also be simplified to make it easier for new users."

"Micro Focus is an expensive tool."

"ALM only works on Internet Explorer. It doesn't work on any other browser. In my opinion, Internet Explorer is generally a bit slower. I would like to see it work on Chrome or on other browsers."

"At this time, we don't feel that this solution has any value."

"ALM requires that you install client side components. If your organization does not allow admin rights on your local machine, this means you will need someone to run the installation for you with admin rights. This client side install is also limited to Internet Explorer and does not support any other browsers."

"It can be quite clunky, and it can easily be configured badly, which I've seen in a couple of places. If it is configured badly, it can be very hard to use. It is not so easy to integrate with other products. I've not used Micro Focus in a proper CI/CD pipeline, and I haven't managed to get that working because that has not been my focus. So, I find it hard. I've often lost the information because it had committed badly. It doesn't commit very well sometimes, but that might have to do with the sites that I was working at and the way they had configured it."

"Due to these reasons, the effectiveness of ALM for an industry like ours is less than what we would see in LoadRunner."

"Pricing may be a factor prompting a look at competitor products and differentiators or open source options with limited product features."

"The UFT tests don't work very well and it seems to depend on things as simple as the screen resolution on a machine that I've moved to."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."

"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."

"We pay around $30,000 for thirty users, translating to approximately $6,000 to $10,000 per user, which is high."

"It's a perpetual license."

"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."

"The solution was expensive for us."

"Sure, HP UFT is not free. But consider what you get for that cost: A stable product that is easy to use; the kitchen sink of technology stack support; decades of code (which in many cases actually is free); a version that is a stepping stone to an easier Selenium design; and a support base that is more that just the kindness of strangers."

"Seat and concurrent licensing models exist; the latter is recommended if a large number of different users will be utilizing the product."

"If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."

"I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
