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 is code coverage."
"Customizable dashboards show how healthy the project is and task distribution ensures every team member gets notified about their performance and no one gets lost in what to do."
"The Parasoft Concerto has enabled the company's test teams to automate the most common and trivial tests which is saving time and delivering consistency."
"Complete test management tool."
"It really helps developers execute scenarios through DTP and share reports/results across the teams."
"It's very simple to use, which is beneficial, and it has 90% of the basic features you need without having to pay a lot of extra money."
"Zephyr Enterprise is a stable solution."
"It has a very intuitive user experience."
"If anyone is looking for a good, lightweight, flexible and agile test management product, I think they would do very well with Zephyr Enterprise."
"It has integration with test automation tools."
"Now, we are getting consolidated reports in one place, we have all our metrics and repository together, and this is helpful."
"We use the solution for test case management."
"It has many features, but the main things that we need are the test cycles and integration with automation because we have automation for the web and mobile applications. We use it for test case management to run the test cases and get the results. At this moment, it is fulfilling our requirements. We are able to get the test execution report and the test pass and fail report. This summary is delivered to our management."
 

Cons

"Customer service is 6/10. Technical support is 6/10."
"Parallel execution: It would help it multiple executions could be done at the same time."
"The solution's speed has room for improvement."
"Needs individual licence for every new slot which requires a code to be provided by the vendor and activated manually."
"The only thing I have missed is an easy way to configure showing the latest execution results of all test cases linked in JIRA (story/epic), thus, receiving the state of a feature."
"We have a lot of automation for our products, and we require a utility for its integration with automation. Currently, we have to write this utility ourselves. It would be great if they can provide such a utility."
"Zephyr Enterprise needs to redesign the reporting."
"It's difficult to export the test cases in Zephyr, especially with screenshots or attachments, making sharing test cases not very easy."
"We faced some errors while uploading the test cases."
"The solution is not really stable. Sometimes in the past, some pages wouldn't load due to issues."
"For JIRA, in comparison to other solutions, such as TestRail, Zephyr is good, but it is not as good as DFS."
"We are looking for advanced support with integration to CI tools. This is something which Zephyr does not have today."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Costly."
"It costs a couple of thousand dollars for a little more than 125 users, per month."
"DFS is more expensive than Zephyr. DFS is around $32 per person, whereas Zephyr is $10 per person. There is a major difference in the price, which is the main reason why we are trying to shift to Zephyr."
