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.

Accurately identifies what will be affected in production after a change or upgrade
The LiveCompare apps that my customers and I have benefitted from the most are analyses and reports on the following: * Upgrades – LiveCompare's Impact Analysis functionality accurately identifies what will be affected in production as the result of a change or an upgrade. It can also pinpoint accurately the scope of testing needed in anticipation of an upgrade. * Migration to SAP Hana – LiveCompare's unique reporting and advanced analytics streamline the entire migration process to SAP Hana, while minimizing costs, risk, and time. * SAP License management optimization. * Custom code analytics – Includes usage monitoring, quality and performance monitoring, Java analysis, and ABAP code quality. * Testing - LiveCompare optimizes the entire testing phase in upgrade projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is the alignment of the test to the execution and the linking of the defects to the two. It automatically links any issues you have to the test."
"Quality Center enables us to have a single library where people can reference back as we go through multiple releases."
"It provides us with common development and test workflow for defect management."
"It has a good response time."
"The product can scale."
"Ability to hierarchically group test cases Ability to reuse test cases (call test from a test) Ability to organise under trees test sets Ability to monitor everything Create a report under everything Ability to configure custom attributes on all modules"
"Allows us to do defect resolution from logging to resolution."
"I highly recommend HPE Quality Center for its simplicity and ease of use whereby Business and Technical teams can see each other's progress and help make better decisions."
"LiveCompare's unique reporting and advanced analytics streamline the entire migration process to SAP Hana, while minimizing costs, risk, and time."
"LiveCompare's Impact Analysis functionality identifies accurately what will be affected in production as the result of a change or an upgrade. It can also pinpoint accurately the scope of testing needed in anticipation of an upgrade."
"Using LiveCompare allows us to automate many of the required tasks while gaining access to data needed to optimize our SAP environments with fewer resources than before."
 

Cons

"If the solution could create a lighter, more flexible tool with more adaptability to new methodologies such as agile, it would be great."
"There are scalability issues."
"Cross project reporting is limited to similar database schemas"
"One of the bigger issues is the licensing approach. They have concurrent usage and it's very expensive."
"Scalability is becoming more complex."
"I think if we're looking at the legacy owned product, I think it's kind of come and gone as far as its ability to do what you need to do in a DevOps world."
"ALM uses a waterfall approach. We have some hybrid approaches in the company and need a more agile approach."
"My personal satisfaction level with HP service and support website is low."
"From my experience with the product, I would suggest adding a feature that would allow a customer who is reviewing the LiveCompare results to be able to connect remotely with one of IntelliCorp's experts (aside from their support) in order to assist the customer to better understand the results."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Only major companies that can afford it use OpenText ALM."
"Micro Focus ALM Quality Center is very expensive. The price is approximately £2,000 per person, they are too expensive to corner the market."
"Compared to the market, the price is high."
"It allows us to keep our costs low. I do not want to pay beyond a certain point for this solution."
"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."
"HPE has one of the most rigid, inflexible, and super expensive license models."
"I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it is pricey. When we talked to the sales reps we work with from our company, they say, "Well, Micro Focus will never lose on price." So, they are willing to do a lot of negotiating if it is required."
"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."
"IntelliCorp is flexible in terms of licensing and the pricing structure. They are open to discussing a customer's specific requirements."
