Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 29, 2026

OpenText AccuRev and OpenText Software Delivery Management serve distinct roles within the software development lifecycle, focusing on version control and application lifecycle management respectively. Although AccuRev excels in pricing and support, Software Delivery Management prevails with its comprehensive features, justifying its higher cost.

Features:OpenText AccuRev specializes in version control with robust branch, merge functionality, flexible stream structures, and automatic merging for efficient code management. OpenText Software Delivery Management provides an all-in-one platform for planning, development, testing, and deployment, offering end-to-end traceability, CI/CD integration, and efficient project monitoring.

Room for Improvement:OpenText AccuRev could enhance its deployment flexibility and streamline resource use. It might also improve its integration capabilities with other tools. OpenText Software Delivery Management may benefit from refining its pricing structure and enhancing its user interface intuitiveness for better accessibility. Its setup process could be simplified to reduce implementation time.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:OpenText Software Delivery Management supports both cloud and on-premises deployments, offering extensive customer support, which grants deployment flexibility.

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.

Generating audit evidence effortlessly saves time and money

OpenText ALM Octane is a new product with full development ongoing, where new ideas are launched regularly. Its ability to generate audit evidence with a single click is a significant advantage, as it saves considerable time and money compared to manual processes. This efficiency is especially valuable for audits required by financial regulators.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to use on Window platform."

"The solution is very scalable and it's been quite scalable for our organization's purpose."

"AccuRev is a better tool in general."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is taking snapshots while doing the execution of the test cases."

"We have seen a bonified return on investment."

"The product has all the features that we for application managementat a lower cost."

"The most valuable feature is the Business Process Testing feature, BPT, because it brings in the most revenue."

"I have used many solutions throughout my career, but this is the best there is."

More OpenText AccuRev pros

"The feature I found most valuable in Micro Focus ALM Octane is its ability to integrate with the CI/CD stack."

"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Octane is the reports. We are able to do customization."

"The key feature is the usability. It is fast to learn and easy to use. It's very intuitive to work with. Most of the important functions are available via a few clicks, compared to other tools where I have to open a sub-menu and then a sub-menu and another sub-menu, and then press a button."

"The filtering options are very good once you learn them. The document reports are also valuable. You can create reports in Word and PDF formats. That's very useful."

"The most valuable feature is the test lab; for example, we use it for both mobile testing and browser testing, and the interface is user-friendly."

"If you want to integrate your business requirements with your testing and defect-management tracking, it works beautifully."

"Micro Focus' technical support is good."

"I like the fact that you can use it on top of Jira."

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."

"Source code conflicts are like evil twins."

"The tool has an issue whereby it restarts its services on its own."

"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."

"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."

"Limited reporting features for management."

More OpenText AccuRev cons

"Octane, from an administration perspective, is very limited. The application is improving with each release but what is missing is the ability to manage users and workspaces. I would also like "usable" reporting for more than a few workspaces. Also still missing is the ability to copy a workspace or get data in or out, except for limited REST calls."

"Though Micro Focus ALM Octane doesn't have much of a bug, it lacks integration with some solutions. For example, my company has fairly new software, but it can't be integrated with Micro Focus ALM Octane, so integration with other software, particularly with less popular software, could be improved. Micro Focus ALM Octane also requires a lot of resources during its setup, and I find this another area for improvement. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of Micro Focus ALM Octane is the ability to customize the interface, especially when doing a manual test."

"I think the area of release management in the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Because JIRA is a leading tool for both development and requirements management - everybody is using JIRA - I'm pretty there will be a use case where people are trying to connect between ALM Octane and JIRA. The back-end configuration of the synchronization with JIRA could be simplified. The architecture is really complicated. We required a lot of machines to build the cluster and the configuration was not really clearly described within the documentation. This may have something to do with the fact that the software is pretty new."

"They don't support all IDEs yet. We have Visual Studio code, which is not supported, and loved by our developers. This integration is missing. We also had to do our own in-house integration with the Confluence. That is also something that they could add."

"We have some requests to beef up the manual testing abilities and the ability to report on testing progress. All the basics are there, but there's an issue of maintainability. For example... once you plan a test and it creates a run, more particularly a suite run, you can't edit the suite run afterward... That that is not realistic with how people work. Mistakes are made and people are humans and we change our minds about things. So the tool needs to allow for a bit more flexibility in that testing area, as well as some better widgets to report on progress."

"An area that needs improvement is the dashboard - particularly the lack of ability to compare data on a single graph."

"Also, while there is a Requirements Module in Octane, it is very plain. It's okay to have some requirements described there, but it's not really following the whole BDD approach. I would like to have more features for requirements in there."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a lower cost than other top competetors."

"Going forward, I think we will want to explore adding more licenses."

"The price of Micro Focus ALM Octane is too high compared to other solutions."

"It will be as expensive as ALM.NET, if not more expensive. But here's a good tip: If you have ALM.NET, you are able to share your licenses from ALM.NET to Octane. You just have to define a dedicated number of licenses on ALM.NET and then you can share them with ALM Octane, with some configuration effort. This is something that you have to take into account, that there is a possibility of such license sharing that could decrease your costs. Compared to open-source tools, the price the ALM Octane is definitely higher, in terms of the licensing cost."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. The product is neither cheap nor expensive."

"It's pretty pricey, one of the most expensive ones on the market... The value depends on if you use all the features that it has. It comes with a lot of features. The difference between the license structure of ALM and Octane versus JIRA, is that you get everything with ALM and Octane... For JIRA, you buy the pieces one piece at a time."

"The comparison is always with Jira, so the pricing of Octane is a bit on the higher side. But if you look at what you have to add to Jira, on the plug-in side, to have the same abilities you have with Octane, you're more or less even, or even ahead with Octane."

"In terms of pricing, it's comparable to what we had previously. It's not priced at the higher end of the scale by any means. It's priced nicely, in the middle of the market. For what you're getting, it's a very good tool."

"The product is highly priced compared to other tools."
