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.

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

"The most valuable features of the solution are its ability to manage test scenarios, test results, and test automation, which are its primary functionalities."
"The community response was so overwhelming that we went into a production mode within the first quarter and began setting up and migrating teams within the first year."
"The platform's most valuable feature is pipeline integration or continuous integration services."
"An improvement on previous versions because it comes as preconfigured as possible."
"Octane works well with the Jira portfolio to track the project with two methods: Agile and Waterfall. We can track all the testing in Waterfall or Agile and synchronize it with Agile tools."
"With an Octane project, we have our automation, our requirements, our tests, our pipeline into build-and-deploy, and the ability to identify problem areas."
"The feature I found most valuable in Micro Focus ALM Octane is its ability to integrate with the CI/CD stack."
"If you are looking for any Agile tool, I would definitely recommend ALM Octane, not only because it's a Micro Focus tool, but the way that they're investing in the tool and the ease of use."
"The solution is flexible in terms of customization. You can bend and reformat it in many ways. You can also customize the APIs and public functions."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"This tools improve teams productivity, a lot of flexibility for automation."
"The solution is flexible in terms of customization, you can bend and reformat it in many ways, and you can also customize the APIs and public functions."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"PTC Integrity has good stability."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
 

Cons

"Promoting it more could help a lot of projects."
"There's a trend in our requests to have the ability to export data, en masse, out of Octane. There are capabilities within Octane to export data, but there are specifics around test suites and requirements and relations, as well as certain attributes, that we would like to be able to export easily out of Octane and into a database or Excel."
"The reporting side of ALM Octane could do with a few areas of improvement. There is not enough flexibility in the way that we can cut up the data to report on certain things."
"The biggest problem with ALM Octane is that it's very complex, so it's difficult to use and scale."
"We’d like to see Platform One/Iron Bank compliant containers."
"They don't support all IDEs yet. We have Visual Studio code, which is not supported, and loved by our developers."
"The reporting is lacking from a requirements matrix and a traceability perspective."
"Pricing is the weakest point. It is expensive, but the tool has plenty of features."
"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."
"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."
"PTC Integrity is causing us a headache. We have to install it in 3,000 different systems."
"To be honest, the third controller system is kind of old. There are lots of transactional changes that have not been implemented in PTC. If you have a larger project, for example, whenever you give bits and need to change 10,000 files you can just commit them. But here the work style is a little more file based, so you'll have to take care of almost all the files individually. It's not a single commit like you do here, but rather you have to allocate time for each component or file that you want to check in or commit. That's a very big issue."
"You can use it for things from the previous decade. After 2010, whatever you want to do in terms of programming is very unusable."
"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you compare the price with the functionality, it is pretty much the same as other solutions. If you compare it to Jira, for instance, it has a lot more functionality. You don't need any plug-ins, but it's also more expensive. Once you start adding your different plug-ins to Jira, you'll probably end up with the same amount or more. There is also a yearly support cost, which is usually 25% of the initial cost of the license."
"Microsoft is a big challenge for Micro Focus when it comes to pricing because they are much cheaper. But it definitely depends on the complexity of the environment. If it has multiple technologies, at that point, looking at other options and Microsoft would be a feasible approach."
"The senior management of my company handles the purchases of the solution. However, the price per developer was a major reason we switched from Jira. Apart from the complexity and the support, the price was a major reason that a team of 20 people unanimously decided that we would prefer to go with Micro Focus ALM Octane rather than Jira. The senior management had seen some benefit in it and they preferred it over Jira because the per developer cost was less and the support was superior."
"The tool's price is extremely high."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight on a scale from one to ten, where ten is very expensive."
"The price of Micro Focus ALM Octane is too high compared to other solutions."
"For what it does, it's very reasonably priced. I like the licensing model as well, because it's very flexible. You can scale licenses up and down for short periods of time."
"Going forward, I think we will want to explore adding more licenses."
"The product is expensive."
