Team Lead at Graebert India
Helped with agile testing, provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities but visibility of test cases could be improved
QMetry has different aspects. It provides exploratory testing and screen capture capabilities while running tests. It has a recorder integrated. If you run a test on an application, it will record every aspect of it. For example, if you execute a user scenario, it will record what the user does within the application and generate a script. This can also be used for quick automation. Moreover, if we have an automation framework, QMetry can integrate with it. QMetry can also handle load testing in web-based applications. We have integrated it with a bug-tracking system, but not for automation. It was not difficult to integrate it. This integration was mainly for reporting purposes, such as creating reports directly from QMetry.

Provides quick test management for agile workflows but lacks customization for reporting and dashboards
The analytics and reporting capabilities in TestRail are not very extensive and tailorable. This doesn't make it very suitable for enterprise level programs. With OpenText, you have a lot of flexibility. I'm talking about the old version of ALM, the desktop client, which I used when it was still Micro Focus ALM. It has a tremendous ability to generate different types of reports. You can build different graphs, have Word document format, Excel format, or write your own Excel queries and incorporate that into your own reporting. TestRail has one type of format. If you want to generate a test summary report, there is basically only one format that you can use. You can't add your own components. You can choose which portions of your test results you want to include by selecting certain sections, but you don't have freedom to add and remove sections yourself. It's predefined and all that you can do is just take out the ones that you don't want. It is usable, but it's not tailorable, it's not configurable, it just gives you the bare minimum. It depends on what you use the tool for. If you want to use TestRail for enterprise-level waterfall projects with traditional reporting and a lot of analytics, it's not good enough because the analytics, dashboards, and reporting are not really there. However, if you use it for agile and you want quick and easy with very simple functionality, then it's very good because it's simple to use. For agile use cases, it's great and you don't need more than that. But if you are looking for an enterprise tool or waterfall project with large programs, even the enterprise version is not sufficient. There's no significant difference from the basic version. The only thing that you really get is the ability to have multiple project reporting, but the reporting itself is limited. There are no configurable dashboards. You can report across multiple projects, which is great, but the type of reports that you can run are limited to the current set of built-in reports. That's not good enough for enterprise level with multiple project and large programs. You want multiple reports across multiple projects and you want the tailorability and configurability of having dashboards and analytics, which TestRail is weak on for the enterprise level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best benefit was for new hires. We used to write our test cases in simple English within QMetry, so anyone who knew English could understand them. This helped with training new hires."
"The product helps us create test cases and reports."
"A lot of cases can be organised with workflows and become scenario-based."
"The most valuable features are the reporting in the dashboard and the general way in which we can create test runs is helpful."
"The integration with Jira and the ability for extra configurations are the most valuable features."
"I use the solution for test management."
"The ability to time test runs gives the tester the ability to compare calculated times to actual times it takes for a test case to run."
"The API to support integration of the homemade automated testing tool."
"Reliable and stable. It is important that TestRail be up and running 24/7 as we have users around the world using it."
 

Cons

"For me, the visibility could be improved. When executing a test case, you needed to open it separately to read the steps."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward."
"I would not recommend this solution."
"This solution has room for improvement. For example, some particular projects need to adjust access or add additional members and this isn't always possible. Role-based access would improve this."
"The test suite management has room for improvement as well as better reporting."
"TestRail's user interface is not great. When you use it for the first time, you will be very uncomfortable and not know how to create test cases. It doesn't have a field for preconditions and post-conditions."
"After looking at other products, I'd say TestRail is pretty expensive. It's one of the reasons we're moving away from the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"QMetry was cheaper than Xray, which was based on the number of users."
"The product is not much expensive."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
"Use TestRail Cloud (online TR hosted server) and don't worry about maintenance or scalability. It saves a lot of cash and time."
"Negotiate the best deal you can."
"The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
