Helps us with our compliance goals, native quality management systems and with the legacy systems in our organization
To improve the product, it needs some enhancement to the application's interface to be more user-friendly. The product has all the features that we need and we can depend upon it. My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual. That is my point. It is not very friendly to use. For example, we may need the application to be more friendly in other sorts of ways. If we have an integrated module that allows access to the features we want through one click, you do not need to make it two or three clicks on the screen. The interface can be better designed to easily provide access to the features you need. The feature I would like to see in the next release is just for it to be more friendly to use and to be like a smart application that intuits your movement through the application. It needs to be something that works smoothly and intelligent without any complicated navigation of screens.

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

"It has a user friendly UI which has been very much appreciated by our organization."
"We have seen a bonified return on investment."
"AccuRev is a better tool in general."
"I have used many solutions throughout my career, but this is the best there is."
"The solution is very scalable and it's been quite scalable for our organization's purpose."
"The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue."
"Easy to use on Window platform."
"The solution is 100% scalable. It's much more scalable than the customer's capacity for implementing it. We do plan to increase usage ourselves."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is a very good test management tool especially for writing test cases and uploading. You can even upload the test cycles from Excel. You get the defects and the reports, and also some automation using EFT which works with ALM."
"Customer service is good, as they respond on time to inquiries and requests, and the technical guys at HPE are knowledgeable on the solutions provided."
"If someone is researching solutions, they should know that this solution is stable, centralized, and scalable."
"Using Quality Center as one tool helped us to track just one tool from beginning to end."
"ALM can scale and is very impressive."
"So the first impression that hits me about HP UFT 14.0 (formerly QTP) is that it seems to be a whole lot faster! But that could be subjective, as I'm running it on a high end gaming system."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is a very good test management tool especially for writing test cases and uploading, as you can even upload the test cycles from Excel, get the defects and the reports, and also some automation using EFT which works with ALM."
"We are using the solution for multiple purposes: test management, defect tracking, traceability, requirement tracking, and test execution."
 

Cons

"My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual."
"Limited reporting features for management."
"The pricing should be more competitive."
"Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
"The tool has an issue whereby it restarts its services on its own."
"Stability needs improvement. It has some minor defects that could be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to have a repository for the code which is embedded. Apart from that, it has everything I need."
"The main barriers of entry are cost and implementation, especially if an enterprise implementation is the best solution"
"I'm disappointed with the support as they're not reactive enough."
"Quality Center's UI is outdated, and it's a little bit slow on the login part and different parts of the application. That's why we're switching solutions. I believe most companies are switching to Octane or something else. Micro Focus should enhance the interface and reports."
"It's not intuitive in that way, which has always been a problem, especially with business users."
"There are a lot of features in ALM which should be implemented into Quality Center, especially as ALM and Quality Center are integrated."
"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."
"I think if we're looking at the legacy owned product, I think it's kind of come and gone as far as its ability to do what you need to do in a DevOps world."
"Tighter integration between ALM and UFT, especially from a reporting perspective, for automation reporting. We currently run into reporting issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."
"I've never been in the procurement process for it. I don't think it is cheap. Some of the features can be quite expensive."
"The cost of licensing depends on the number of VMs that you are running test cases on and it is not cheap."
"Compared to the market, the price is high."
"It's a perpetual license."
"I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it is pricey. When we talked to the sales reps we work with from our company, they say, "Well, Micro Focus will never lose on price." So, they are willing to do a lot of negotiating if it is required."
"HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."
"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."
