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.

Manages multiple releases seamlessly
We have done some work with companies, probably four or five years ago and found the ability to manage multiple releases simultaneously as a main advantage, especially in complex programs with multiple concurrent releases. Running automated tests against back-level versions in certain environments is possible, and newer versions can be tested as well. It creates constant visibility into the test process, showing the status, bugs, and automated test results. It is a solid product in large corporations in Denmark, ensuring everyone knows where the process stands. There is a good understanding of what is critical, allowing prioritization of test cases.

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 100% scalable. It's much more scalable than the customer's capacity for implementing it. We do plan to increase usage ourselves."
"We have seen a bonified return on investment."
"AccuRev is a better tool in general."
"It has a user friendly UI which has been very much appreciated by our organization."
"Easy to use on Window platform."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Our original pre-sales technical contact is now in a different position within the sales organization, but is still willing to field questions, and get the right resources involved to speed up the delivery of customer service."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases."
"The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost."
"From reporting to team management, everything is better now."
"A centralized and unified repository of requirements and testing artifacts with access across geographies in real time improved efficiency and efficacy of application lifecycle management, including integration of the Test Automation tool (HPE UFT tool)."
"I like the traceability, especially between requirements, testing, and defects."
"Allows us to do defect resolution from logging to resolution."
"We have developers, project managers, stakeholders, everybody referring to one single point-of-truth for everything that is related to a project, from requirements, test cases, coverage, defect tracking, and reporting."
"You should invest in Quality Center if you are looking for high visibility of project progress."
"We currently successfully manage all testing projects due to ALM’s invaluable capabilities, which are listed below: Built on best practices with a flexible structure, organization, and documentation for all phases of the application testing process."
"Quality Center definitely adds value to an organization and over the long run has a positive ROI that will keep increasing over time primarily by saving time for users the more they use the functionality of all the modules."
 

Cons

"What I'm missing from the solution is a repository for the code. Something like Git, for example. Some sort of depository for the code that is embedded."
"My issue with the product is that it is not easy to use without a guide or a proper manual."
"The pricing should be more competitive."
"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."
"It is difficult to gain experience with the product because resources and documentation for learning are not available."
"Because AccuRev is a centralized SCM, Microfocus will always need to work to improve performance relative to distributed SCM."
"The tool has an issue whereby it restarts its services on its own."
"Source code conflicts are like evil twins."
"Our biggest problem with ALM is the version upgrade and especially the migration."
"The performance needs work, as over the past couple years, where I have worked with large companies, I noticed slower response times."
"Premium support is great, but before that when we just had general support, it was not all that great."
"The technical support is average. We aren't unhappy with them. However, we don't find them to be exceptional."
"Test Lab functionality needs to be changed so you can set test attributes automatically with minimal effort."
"Pricing is very big, so it's good to negotiate with its vendors. The solution is not so important and should not cost so much."
"The UI is very dated. Most applications these days have a light UI that can be accessed by pretty much any browser; QC still uses a UI which has a look almost the same for the past 20 years."
"It's doing what it should do, but it's a little bit costly. I would like to see some kind of testing analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."
"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive."
"HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."
"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)."
"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."
"I'd rate the pricing as 3/10 as it's very expensive."
"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."
