SHRINIVAS ALAGERI - PeerSpot reviewer
Architect at a media company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Drilling into change lifecycles has given me clear end to end traceability for every item
Reporting is my main area of concern. Additionally, the migration activity and portability are important areas for improvement. If I needed to move from Jira to Rally Software, having built-in portability or migration utilities would be beneficial. At the time of my use, there was not an inbuilt capability to migrate applications from other third-party solutions to Rally Software. Currently, I am not using Rally Software.

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 PTC Integrity is its integration with our existing PTC tools, especially for drawing release activities."
"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."
"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."
"I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn."
"This tools improve teams productivity, a lot of flexibility for automation."
"The most valuable feature relates to traceability, we have complete traceability as per process requirements."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"The ability to extract data to provide feature and release metrics for our executives and our customer stakeholders is very important."
"I like the Story Board since it helps me keep track of my stories and any tasks assigned."
"This product has helped to organize team effort and keep the team on track by providing a burndown chart and team status breakdown at the task level."
"If you’re looking to implement an agile development solution that scales extremely well and is backed by solid performance, stability, and an outstanding support team, this is the solution for you!"
"Easy drill down and drill up, creating a very user-friendly menu."
"Right now, it is the idea of having everything in place for both information and my project in a single network."
"We have been able to deliver our integration between CA and HPE ALM in a period of time that is about half of where we were before."
"Helped us to organize team effort and keep the team on track by providing a burndown chart and team status breakdown at the task level."
 

Cons

"Scalability is a concern for this particular tool."
"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version."
"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."
"Scalability is a little difficult because the product gets slower as it's scaled."
"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."
"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."
"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."
"Stability of the product is not good."
"What I don't like about it is that it is really hard to find old work to reference information and use the reporting section of the application in terms of trying to analyze trends."
"An Agile Central mobile app is long overdue."
"I think the only area that needs improvement will be the front end. It is very good as is but I think it could be better as the colors are a little faded."
"The UI can be slow to respond at times and difficult to navigate initially."
"I did experience stability issues. Sometimes, it has short hanging periods during a planning session, i.e., when you discuss the user story, without the screen displaying the acceptance criteria, mockups and so on."
"I think there needs to be some simplification. The team-level side can be challenging and complicated."
"One area for improvement might be the rigidity in role and access configurations, which require many process changes to fit the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"We are always looking for a discount, if the solution was less expensive it would be a benefit."
"It is expensive and may not be worthwhile for a small company."
"I don't know the exact pricing, but I think the tool is priced high. They provide quality workmanship, good software, regular upgrades, and they're always attentive and listen to users. Everything comes with a price. I think it's an expensive solution compared to Jira or other competitors, but it's a complete package."
"Frankly, pricing is expensive and needs to be carefully planned for when budgeting."
"Rally Software costs $50 a month, and for a base account, that price is acceptable."
"I understand it's a little more expensive. That is why many people prefer Jira."
"The license costs are fairly high as compared to some of the other solutions out there."
"From a price point, it's a cost effective solution for our needs."
