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.

Helix ALM is insanely configurable, with great traceability, and flexibility
The most valuable features of Helix ALM are traceability and flexibility. One thing that distinguishes Helix ALM from other solutions is that it is a hybrid cloud model. Helix ALM is not a full cloud implementation like Valerian, Jira Jama, or Atlassian, where we just go through a browser onto the cloud. In the case of Helix, we have code that goes on our computer and then that communicates to the cloud. We have the backup and distribution capability of the cloud, but we have code executing on our machine, and we don't need to worry much about speed and internet lag problems.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The support is even better than the tool. It's incredible. The technical support that they have wonderful."
"The initial setup and configuration are straightforward and relatively simple."
"The solution is fast and very accessible."
"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."
"When used for bug reporting, the product is great when searching for specific bugs."
"The tool offers high stability."
"Customer Service: It's great. Technical Support: It's great."
"The most valuable features of Helix ALM are traceability and flexibility."
"ROI was traceability, real-time metrics, and test environment integrity."
"Helix ALM enables users to build, make efficient and effective decisions, and use least-cost methods for maximum benefit, as fast as possible. They allow you to see and visualize your configuration."
"Filtering tables of requirements and defects, because it allows me to easily focus on the items that I need to work on for any given day."
"What you can't measure, you can't optimize; Helix ALM helps you measure, automate, and visualize your processes, making it a great tool to model and optimize while keeping your configuration from falling out of alignment with multiple groups."
 

Cons

"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."
"The pricing could be lower."
"Helix ALM should be able to integrate with other systems better. Helix ALM should also have an easier user interface, and the solution needs to have drag-and-drop tools included in it."
"The accountability and the equivalent to using, acting, editing, working with Word, and also importing and exporting from Word needs improvement."
"I would describe my impressions of the stability of the product as undetermined."
"The look and feel of the interface is very outdated."
"It's too expensive for the quality of the product."
"The test cases and the automation was hard to maintain for complex scripts with multiple subtest calls and I/O."
"It would be great to see Perforce's strategy is for implementing intelligence into the process via AI or ML. It's not clearly defined, at least not to my knowledge."
