Effective testing and good data management with seamless Excel integration
There are cases where the system does not meet our reporting requirements. For example, only the first user can click 'run' during testing, and subsequent users have to click 'continue manual run', which can create reporting errors. Improvements are needed so that the system can continue running without creating a new run.

Flexible, multifunctional, and stable testing software with good technical support
I've been using the latest version of Original Software Qualify AQM. Over 100 users in our company use Original Software Qualify AQM. We only have two people in charge of its deployment and maintenance. This software is extensively used in our company. Personally, I recommend Original Software Qualify AQM to other people looking into implementing it. You can do a lot of things with this software. The support is very good. The communication is very good, and they also listen to problems raised. They add new features and functionalities as a response to past problems or issues. It's a very good tool and I recommend it. We've seen a return on investment from this software. I'm rating Original Software Qualify AQM a nine out of ten, because of several reasons: It's very good software, it's a supportive company, and we have very good results from it. This software also minimizes the effort of UATs, and it also allows us to deploy whatever we want.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The AI and functionality interface are useful."
"Easily integrates with Oracle e-Business Suite."
"I like the traceability, especially between requirements, testing, and defects."
"ALM Quality Center's best features are the test lab, requirement tab, and report dashboard."
"It was really good, customizable, and easy to use."
"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."
"It is beneficial for managing testing data and has integration with Excel, allowing us to download reports easily."
"This solution is open and very easy to integrate. The interface is good too."
"Flexible software with multiple functions, e.g. scenario deployment, new entity creation, workflow creation, etc. Technical support for this software is very good."
 

Cons

"I would like to be able to search easier, not just do SQL queries, being able to do free keyword searches on the data. That's valuable."
"It's not intuitive in that way, which has always been a problem, especially with business users."
"Recently, I faced some issues while using the product on Mac-based machines, as I was unable to upload test cases."
"Only Internet Explorer is supported. That is a big problem. They don't support Chrome and Firefox and so on."
"If they could improve their BPT business components that would be good"
"The initial setup was not straightforward."
"It is not a scalable solution."
"When it came to JIRA and Agile adoption, that was not really easy to do with ALM. I tried, but I was not able to do much on that... There is room for improvement in the way it connects to and handles Agile projects."
"The reporting engine of Original Software Qualify AQM needs to change. It's very difficult to develop complex reports. Its reporting function needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."
"The solution was expensive for us."
"We have divided our licenses between Micro Focus ALM and ALM Octane. It works for us."
"It all comes down to how many people are going to access the tool. When teams go above 20, I think ALM is a better tool to use from a collaboration and streamlining perspective."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive."
"The enterprise pricing and licensing are reasonable."
"The pricing is expensive nowadays."
"This is an expensive solution."
