Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 3, 2026

PTC Integrity and OpenText Application Quality Management are two competing products in the application lifecycle management market. OpenText holds the upper hand due to its superior testing environment and efficient cloud deployment.

Features: PTC Integrity provides seamless integration with development tools, emphasizing requirement management and traceability. It offers a unified platform for hardware and software collaboration and allows real-time collaboration through stable APIs. OpenText Application Quality Management stands out with its test automation capabilities, real-time quality insights, easy integration with JIRA, and excellent traceability features.

Room for Improvement: PTC Integrity could improve in ease of deployment and customization options without heavy scripting for traceability. Additionally, simplifying its setup process and enhancing cloud capabilities would be beneficial. OpenText Application Quality Management can enhance its user experience, expand its integration capabilities beyond testing tools, and offer more intuitive customization options for different business needs.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText Application Quality Management provides a cloud-based model, allowing for quick integration and scaling with strong customer support. PTC Integrity, while comprehensive, might require a lengthier installation time and does not offer the same degree of cloud-native flexibility as OpenText.

Pricing and ROI: PTC Integrity involves higher initial costs but promises a strong long-term ROI with its lifecycle integration. OpenText Application Quality Management is considered cost-effective, with competitive upfront pricing and clear ROI through enhanced testing efficiencies, making it an attractive option for businesses looking for immediate value.

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.

Customization has enabled long-term document and requirement management for complex projects

PTC Integrity should get rid of the old thick client and move everything to the thin client. The thin client should be made the single source of truth, the way it is for Codebeamer. PTC Integrity should try to integrate this with AI and should have automatic requirement to test case mapping and other AI features that are in Codebeamer. It is not easy for people to migrate from one tool to another, even though it is from the same product. PTC took over the In-Link product, so if I have to migrate my Integrity to In-Link, why would I replicate everything here? People are happy with what they have. The only headache is the thick client, which is a problem for the installation team. By having a thin client, people can directly open it from the web browser and it would be much easier and much better than a thick client on the system. With a thick client, you have Java installation that needs to be done and you have all those certificates to be installed for SSL. With a thin client, it would be much better and you could do all the administrative things also in that. I don't understand why they want a thick client. They could replace it with a thin client, the way it is for Codebeamer. They should incorporate all the AI things. PTC Integrity should become another tool with all the new features and new enhancements, and they should eliminate the thick client altogether.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What caused us to switch to this solution was the customizability."

"It is a tool, and it works. It has got good linkage and good traceability between the test cases and the defects. It has got lots of features for testing."

"It has basic and advanced facilities that allow you to arrange all of your test data in very well arranged, systematic manner."

"The most valuable feature is the Quality Center itself; it's a test management tool, so it enables us to manage and track tests, record the effects, and give us full traceability throughout the testing process."

"I love to use this solution with single projects. It has helped our productivity. With the metrics that I receive, I can put them onto the management model so I can see them there. It has reduced our time for project management and controls by 20 percent."

"With test execution, you have an option to create custom fields. It is also really user-friendly. With other tools, we only have restricted fields and we cannot customize or add new columns or fields that users can make use of while testing. ALM is very flexible for creating new fields. It is easy for users to understand the application."

"First of all, the product works."

"Integration with other HPE products."

More OpenText Application Quality Management pros

"PTC Integrity provides some set of APIs which makes it very flexible to build an end-to-end SaaS product and an end-to-end software product."

"This tools improve teams productivity, a lot of flexibility for automation."

"The product is powerful and stable."

"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."

"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."

"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."

"The most valuable feature of PTC Integrity is its integration with our existing PTC tools, especially for drawing release activities."

"The most valuable feature relates to traceability, we have complete traceability as per process requirements."

More PTC Integrity pros

Cons

"The reporting feature could be improved. It would be better if they simplified some things."

"One issue I have faced was that while I was importing test cases from Excel to Quality Center, it was not asking to check out the test cases but instead it would overwrite the default test cases and create a new version for it."

"Tech support is very, very poor. There is no coordination between product groups, you have to repeat the same information multiple times, features that are fixed end up breaking in the next release, and releases and upgrades do not fix problems as promised."

"The Agile methodology is now being used across all the organizations, but in this solution, we don't have a dashboard like Jira. In Jira, you can move your product backlogs from one space to another and see the progress, that is, whether a backlog is in the development stage or testing stage. Micro Focus ALM Quality Center does not have this feature. It is typically very straightforward. You just execute the test cases from it, and you just make them pass, fail, or whatever. They can also improve its integration with Jira. The browser support needs to be improved in this because it supports only Internet Explorer as of now. It does not have support for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or any other browser. There are also some performance issues in it. Let's say that you are doing the testing, and you found something and are logging the defect. When you try to attach several or multiple screenshots with the defect, it slows down, which is a very common problem people face. I would like them to include a functionality where I am able to see the reports across all the projects. When you have multiple projects, being a manager, I would like to see the reports across all the projects. Currently, there is no single sign-on through which we can get all the information at one place. You need to log into it project-wise. If you have ten projects, you can't view the information in one dashboard."

"It can be quite clunky, and it can easily be configured badly, which I've seen in a couple of places. If it is configured badly, it can be very hard to use. It is not so easy to integrate with other products. I've not used Micro Focus in a proper CI/CD pipeline, and I haven't managed to get that working because that has not been my focus. So, I find it hard. I've often lost the information because it had committed badly. It doesn't commit very well sometimes, but that might have to do with the sites that I was working at and the way they had configured it."

"Licensing model is relatively expensive compared to alternate solutions."

"If the solution could create a lighter, more flexible tool with more adaptability to new methodologies such as agile, it would be great."

"I'd like to see them move away from a desktop-type client and towards a web-based client, although we've also had ActiveX issues with web clients."

More OpenText Application Quality Management cons

"You can use it for things from the previous decade. After 2010, whatever you want to do in terms of programming is very unusable."

"Scalability is a little difficult because the product gets slower as it's scaled."

"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version. Administration and adding/removing fields, etc. cannot be done on the web version. People want solutions that are compatible with Android. I also want to have a version by which I can bulk edit all the fields."

"I am writing this review because I don't think there's a fair portrayal online of how cumbersome the GUI is, and how difficult the software is to use."

"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."

"Overall, we are not very happy with PTC Integrity."

"It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use."

"The user-friendliness of PTC Integrity can be improved. The interface is not intuitive for first-time users and takes time to get accustomed to."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is an expensive solution."

"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."

"The solution has the ability to handle a large number of projects and users in an enterprise environment with the correct license."

"It has several limitations in adapting its agility easily."

"It is very expensive as compared to other tools. We didn't get their premier version. It is a lesser version, and to upgrade, there will be an additional cost for us."

"It is an expensive tool. I think one needs to pay 10,000 USD towards the perpetual licensing model."

"Seat and concurrent licensing models exist; the latter is recommended if a large number of different users will be utilizing the product."

"Depending on the volume, the annual maintenance costs vary on a percentage but it's around $300 a year per license for maintenance. It's at 18% of the total cost of the license."
