Hosney Osman - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Solution Architect at Vodafone
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.
VinayKumar17 - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Lead at Graebert India
Helped with agile testing, provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities but visibility of test cases could be improved
QMetry has different aspects. It provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities while running tests. It has a recorder integrated. If you run a test on an application, it will record every aspect of it. For example, if you execute a user scenario, it will record what the user does within the application and generate a script. This can also be used for quick automation. Moreover, if we have an automation framework, QMetry can integrate with it. QMetry can also handle load testing in web-based applications. We have integrated it with a bug-tracking system, but not for automation. It was not difficult to integrate it. This integration was mainly for reporting purposes, such as creating reports directly from QMetry.

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 good response time."
"The solution's most valuable features are its bidirectional traceability, the solid structure within the test plan, and the test lab."
"It's allowed us to be a little more consistent across the board."
"Quality Center is a very powerful tool."
"Defects and Test management were earlier conducted with the help of Excel sheets, and now they are tracked in the Quality Center leading to accountability, dashboards, and being tracked in a single place."
"For any company that wants a mature, highly developed platform that is constantly improving and needs to survive audits, you must consider HP ALM solutions such as HP Quality Center."
"Ability to customize modules, particularly Defect Tracking module on company specific needs"
"It gives me the ease of putting together the requirements, test cases, the release test schedules, and executing the test."
"The best benefit was for new hires. We used to write our test cases in simple English within QMetry, so anyone who knew English could understand them. This helped with training new hires."
 

Cons

"If they could improve their BPT business components that would be good"
"Its pricing does need to improve."
"Pricing is high compared to other solutions."
"There are a lot of features in ALM which should be implemented into Quality Center, especially as ALM and Quality Center are integrated."
"ALM is quite heavy to use because of the process. Everybody needs to do the same process at the same time, and that’s quite heavy."
"The main barriers of entry are cost and implementation, especially if an enterprise implementation is the best solution"
"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."
"I would not recommend this product If you have a small organization, which would not use this tool very often. The pricing is very expensive, but it covers a full solution, which means, you will use a lot of functionalities and gain in time and efficiency."
"For me, the visibility could be improved. When executing a test case, you needed to open it separately to read the steps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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)."
"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."
"Quality Center is pricey, but cheaper is not always less expensive."
"Pricing is managed by our headquarters. I am able to get from them for very cheap. The market price is horribly expensive."
"The cost of licensing depends on the number of VMs that you are running test cases on and it is not cheap."
"For pricing, I recommend to buy a bundled package. Check the HPE site for more details."
"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."
"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."
"QMetry was cheaper than Xray, which was based on the number of users."
