Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Most of the features that I like the best are more on the analytics side.""It has a good response time.""The AI and functionality interface are useful.""The most valuable Quality Center feature, I find, is the solution's integration with some of our automation tools. For us, the ability to capture and record and the ease of use from a user perspective, are all key.""The best thing is that you can see your current status in real time... To see real-time updates, you just log in to ALM and you can see exactly what the progress is. You can also see if the plan for the day is being executed properly, and it's all tracked. From the management side, I find those features very valuable.""I personally found the defect tracking feature very useful in my ongoing project.""The stability is very good.""The ability to integrate this solution with other applications is helpful. If there is automation, it comes with improved quality and speed."

"User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps.""The solution is scalable.""We do not need a separate test management tool because we have there is a management tool. That is a very good feature. Secondly, it has an inbuilt performance testing tool, which is on flash. It has very good record and playback features as well. And apart from that, there is a good inspection feature. Since it comes with all of the packages, it's very good.""Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications.""The function test feature is valuable.""I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool""The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""The graphics are very intuitive and it's very easy to get scale of development."

Cons
"It is not a scalable solution.""HPE ALM’s out-of-the-box reporting can be perceived as rigid and limited, to an extent.""Is not very user-friendly.""Micro Focus is an expensive tool.""I'd like to see the concept of teams put into it.""Requirements management could be improved as the use is very limited. E.g., they have always stated that, "You can monitor and create requirements," but it has its limitations. That's why companies will choose another requirements management solution and import data from that source system into Quality Center. Micro Focus has also invested in an adapter between Dimensions RM and ALM via Micro Focus Connect. However, I see room for improvements in this rather outdated tool. I feel what Micro Focus did is say, "Our strategy is not to improve these parts within the tool itself, but search for supported integrations within our own tool set." This has not been helpful.""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.""Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"

"I would like to see better dashboards.""Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck.""Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment.""The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""I have faced issues with some indexing items.""To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing.""The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
  • "If you have more than five users, a concurrent licensing model should be considered."
  • "For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
  • "The full ALM license lets you use the requirements tab, along with test automation and the Performance Center. You can also just buy the Quality Center edition (Manual testing only), or the Performance Center version (Performance Testing only)."
  • "HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
  • "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."
  • "I feel that the licenses are expensive. ​"

  • "ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
  • "Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
  • "The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
