Helps to create tasks, change requests and documentation
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 has a dashboard that details our projects and products, including the number of tasks, change requests, and their statuses (incomplete or complete). Having all this data within the solution makes collaborating easy for our project team. Unlike using multiple tools, having everything we need in one software platform is convenient. I rate the tool's user experience and interface a nine point five out of ten.

Version control is excellent and good for code review, branching, merging strategies and more
I've worked with TFS for source control and Agile project management. We also used TFS for seamless team collaboration and tracking.  I used TFS for a couple of years. Now, we use Azure DevOps. It's a wonderful tool for source control and CI/CD pipelines It's a really valuable tool for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Complete traceability as per process requirements."
"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."
"It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks."
"The most valuable feature of PTC Integrity is its integration with our existing PTC tools, especially for drawing release activities."
"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. You can also customize the APIs and public functions."
"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."
"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."
"The most valuable feature is integration, particularly if you have a .NET application."
"The most valuable feature from my point of view is project management, which includes user stories as well as task management."
"Since it is a robust solution, I face no performance issues. Also, considering how well the implementation process of the solution was carried out, we never faced any issues while using the solution."
"Microsoft's technical team is supportive."
"The interface is easy to navigate."
"TFS' most valuable feature is the triage process. It is a robust solution that is easy to use."
"This solution enables us to link all items usefully, in the way we use Agile."
"For what I need TFS for, I have never run into any limitation."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."
"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."
"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."
"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."
"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."
"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."
"The user-friendliness of PTC Integrity can be improved. The interface is not intuitive for first-time users and takes time to get accustomed to."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"More options could be provided from the perspective of requirements management, which would help product owners to use the tool effectively."
"Merging branches is definitely one of the more challenging aspects for people new to TFS."
"The solution should have better dashboards."
"TFS's CI/CD, project pipelines, and management development could be improved."
"Sometimes we feel that it need more CPU, and RAMs on TFS server, either we implemented the hardware with the product minimum requirements."
"The manageability and performance of the product are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"The test management interface is not very handy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"I wouldn't say that this tool is cheap or expensive but in the middle."
"Use the Microsoft recommended “seat-based” licensing model. This allows a single developer with multiple machines to consume only one client license."
"TFS is more competitively priced than some other solutions."
"I believe we pay on a yearly basis. I don't know the current costs of them. We outsource all that to a third party. Each of the developers gets a Microsoft Visual Studio Azure DevOps license, which gives them access to the TFS server as well. We probably pay on average about 1,800 Canadian Dollars a year for every developer, but that covers a lot more than just TFS."
"TFS is on the higher side, but if you intend to use the tool as a complete ALM tool, it will reduce your costs in the long run."
"I was working with the engineering team, and that was not under my umbrella. From what I can remember, its license was yearly. They had the licenses on a per-user basis, and they included MTM."
"We pay subscription fees on a yearly basis and the price is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable at this time."
