"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."
"I've encountered at some point, some difficulties on the administration side, but I don't remember exactly what they were."
"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool. It would add a lot of value if I want to install it and I don't have Jira or an isolating team. For example, if I am providing a service it's separated from the development team, it then would be better to have defect management included with the test management. However, as it is now I need to be integrated with Jira or another defect management tool to complete the testing process."
"Reporting could be more flexible regarding repeating reports."
"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with the Jenkins."
"It's not easy to create a custom report. It's not straightforward. A good improvement would be if there was a way to report and create a custom report without using a plugin or scripting language."
"It would be useful if it had its own issue management system. At the moment, it's purely a test management tool and you have to link to a defect management tool, like JIRA. It would be useful if there was an option to use its own defect management tool so that it's integrated and not two separate tools."
"It would be great to support other languages and applications, and that is one of the things we can improve."
"The vendor must release a lightweight version of the solution."
"The solution's documentation could be improved because it keeps disappearing from the solution."
"The service right now is far too expensive. You need to pay per user."
"The solution should be cheaper."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"The price is reasonable, but it's not the best."
"Visual Studio Test Professional needs to improve its stability."
