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

"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."
"I have found that previously, the OEM sector was managing everything, possibly manually. However, with the introduction of the product, it has become much easier for customers to handle their products. Previously, customers were using different software to manage their products. However, PTC Integrity offers a solution for requirements management, test management, and even development to support live ticket management. So instead of using multiple software tools, we can use it for all these purposes."
"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."
"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project."
"The most valuable feature relates to traceability, we have complete traceability as per process requirements."
"Technical support is very good."
"It provides overall functionality in project management and release tracking all in one tool."
"We use the roadmap features, and we're getting better at using dates to use the roadmap so that we can see if we're on target for work."
"I think what it's helped with in general is that we've learned a lot about how to break things down a little more in detail."
"The Kanban board is probably the most useful feature, as it is very customizable and is great for somebody who doesn’t need to run the project with a scrum approach."
"The main ways that I used it when I was in it day to day was keeping up with the burn rate within the teams. Also, to track at the feature level too, as far as how we were doing with actually being able to deliver that feature."
"We have all the features we need; it's a good product in that sense."
"We use it at the enterprise level, from the leadership to managers to teams, and everyone can use the same software easily."
 

Cons

"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"Scalability is a little difficult because the product gets slower as it's scaled."
"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version."
"The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version. Administration and adding/removing fields, etc. cannot be done on the web version. People want solutions that are compatible with Android. I also want to have a version by which I can bulk edit all the fields."
"From my experience over the years, I believe there might be room for improvement in PTC Integrity. While it's already a good product, it tends to be slower than other software. When it becomes bulky, it slows down even more, sometimes leading to crashes or hangs that require restarting the computer before being able to use PTC Integrity again. This has been my experience multiple times."
"Usability, and the human factor, and if they improve this then i would rate this 10/10."
"The tool's web-based UI needs improvement. Some functionalities don't work yet, and querying items is slow. Also, it's not in the cloud yet. I don't know if they'll do it in the future because they already have core agreements with customers. If they offer these functionalities, customers will likely buy their product."
"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."
"It only went down a few times, which is very inconvenient when you run your entire team on it."
"The search feature may need some improvements."
"There are times when we struggle with stuff but we haven't really called customer support yet."
"The Reporting feature can improve, especially around executive summaries and dependency mapping."
"Previously, to upload test cases we usually used the Agile Central add-in for MS Excel. But as per recent changes, they have made Single Sign On to access Agile Central due to which, the add-ins seems not to be working."
"The portfolio side of it needs improving, especially integration into CA PPM."
"I think one of the things that we stumble upon is how to organize the teams."
"We are trying to look at things across all of the teams, trying to do reporting across the whole tool, so it's a little less good there, but overall it’s pretty nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"From a price point, it's a cost effective solution for our needs."
"The license costs are fairly high as compared to some of the other solutions out there."
"Frankly, pricing is expensive and needs to be carefully planned for when budgeting."
"I understand it's a little more expensive. That is why many people prefer Jira."
"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."
"It is expensive and may not be worthwhile for a small company."
"Rally Software costs $50 a month, and for a base account, that price is acceptable."
"We are always looking for a discount, if the solution was less expensive it would be a benefit."
