"We use TFS for forecast management."
"The most valuable features are test case writing and bug tracking."
"The initial setup is fairly easy."
"It has great functionality: work items, backlogs, source code, build releases, and it's easy to use."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."

"There are some features that Micro Focus LoadRunner provides, but they are not available in IBM Rational Performance Tester. They should include such features. It can also have more reports similar to what HP provides. It might also need some improvement in terms of the tools and support for other technology areas. Certain technologies are not supported by every tool. They need to support all sorts of technologies and platforms on which web applications and mobile applications are built. They need complete support for all sorts of technologies."
"The solution is not easily scalable. If you want to extend the solution, you need to purchase a different kind of license. You also have to work with the IBM team to assist in scaling."
"More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively."
"Access and permissions are confusing when attempting to include basic manual testing functionalities."
