Quality Management Office (QMO) Manager at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Flexible and stable with excellent technical support
I am the end user. I have a contract to provide testing for customers, however, ultimately the owner of the tool is the customer. For this reason, we're not direct customers. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I don't like to put 10 due to the fact that I'm sure that something can be improved. That said, if the customer gave me the option to select a product, I'd select SpiraTeam over other tools. The facilities of the tool are more or less the same as the facilities of the ALM or other tools that are in the market. However, the customer support from Inflectra makes you feel like they are working with you. That is the gap in the quality that other options lack. They fix any issue very quickly.

Service provider recognizes effective project tracking and reporting capabilities
Regarding integration with various development tools, I can provide examples, and I am using customizable dashboards in OpenText ALM _ Quality Center, which definitely help identify project bottlenecks. As for the scalability of OpenText ALM _ Quality Center, there are limitations, particularly in agile methodologies, which is currently my main concern.

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 fast and very accessible."
"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."
"The initial setup is really very easy, and the documentation provided by the solution is some of the best documentation that I've seen in the last years, with tutorials, videos, and step-by-step instructions that cover basically all of the situations that you can see when you are installing."
"The support is even better than the tool. It's incredible. The technical support that they have wonderful."
"By using QC we broke down silos (of teams), improved the organization of our tests, have a much better view of the testing status, and became much quicker in providing test results with document generation."
"I like that it integrates with the Jira solutions."
"Definitely support of the agile methodology is the most valuable feature."
"ALM allows you to maintain complete end-to-end process."
"We have a pretty strong emphasis on quality, so ALM is our gold source repository for quality."
"Very robust API to interface with the tool and you can customize how it is used."
"Before, we used Excel for complex testings; using this solution has been a huge step for us, and from reporting to team management, everything is better now."
"It provides the entire test management suite, right from the initial phase of testing till the delivery."
 

Cons

"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."
"The pricing could be lower."
"They need to continue improving the interface with the third-party options."
"It would be great if they worked more closely with other solutions. There needs to be better integration with the platform for development purposes."
"We do have some suggestions on reporting. Most of the time we need to download data and then we create reports ourselves."
"The solution is not browser-based, which modern users prefer."
"The tech support is sometimes not clear when you speak to them."
"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."
"Only Internet Explorer is supported. That is a big problem. They don't support Chrome and Firefox and so on."
"I would love to see QC update and use metric dashboards at the individual and project level. The UI also needs some updating with a fresh new look and feel."
"I would rate it a 10 if it had the template functionality on the web side, had better interfaces between other applications, so that we didn't have dual data entry or have to set up our own migrations."
"The defect module, while fundamental and more or less consistent over numerous versions, is an area we would like to see improved regarding how response time is measured in the standard application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have divided our licenses between Micro Focus ALM and ALM Octane. It works for us."
