This is our one stop place which is used for the entire complex project status with the day to day activity. We have the entire project life cycle, starting from requirement to Test plan to Test cases (on Test lab) to the defects. Multiple teams are onboarded and it is easy to use and track everything.

Pros

The ease of use with the tracking and the inbuild functionality of generating the reports

Cons

Mapping all the way from Requirement to Test plan to Test lab and finally the defects

Pros

This software is great for tracking requirements and tests. It also tracks issues found, and when they are corrected. However, the reporting is clunky and not easy to work with.

Cons

Higher level review to give management insite into the project.

We thought that ALM would give us a better way to track our requirements. It does do that, but it could easily do so much more.

Implemented it in 3 major organization, easy to learn is my major experience. An introduction to new users just take 20 min and then they are fully self going. Worked some other systems where filter seems to be very complicated to implement in an easy way, non filters as good as QC. Compared to JAMA ....

Pros

\-All features other ALM tool manufacturers claim is actually working better in QC -Simplicity of using , you know where you are what you filter how you find thing through traces -More advanced testplanning than all other tool (maybe except codebeamer) - Easy adminstration - easy to search and present during audits. - remarkable possibilities with risk management IF some people just let their confusing ideas start from 0 again

Cons

Interface on Explorer Not entirely web based Feelgood appearance (Looks old)

Pros

ALM has evolved over the Years and has almost all the features that anyone would need. Has very good Integration Capability

Cons

Pricing of the Product is on the higher side discourages lot of customers shy away from it especially when there are other Low cost options available

Reasons for choosing OpenText Application Quality Management

We Chose tools based on needs and budget of the project , We had budget to support ALM which is robust and addresses all the needs

Overall good experience with project life cycle and defect Management.

Pros

Easy to use and very organized portal for defect and quality management for a project. Variety of Reporting options available.

Cons

Overall good software but looks bit heavy while loading and UI could be more user friendly and faster would have more helpful.

Response from Vendor

August 2, 2021

Thanks for giving ALM/Quality Center a high rating. Regarding the UI, we now have some new types of clients more friendly and lightweight. ALM Client Launcher (see: https://marketplace.microfocus.com/appdelivery/content/alm-client-launcher) is a Windows-based client that can completely replace the traditional ALM client and is much easier to maintain. The Web Runner (see: https://admhelp.microfocus.com/alm/en/15.5-15.5.1/online\_help/Content/Web\_Runner/main\_menu.htm) is a pure web-based UI that you can use regardless of the browser and OS you use (Windows, MacOS and Linux all work). We're continuing adding more capabilities to the Web Runner, please stay tuned.

Overall good, for non-agile products especially. It is a quality product that doesn't run into problems or issues - very enterprise-grade.

Pros

The way that the functionality is organized (requirements - plans - test - runs - reports) makes a lot of sense. The traceability across the phases of the release works really well.

Cons

It is just difficult to transpose the way this tool is organized to Agile sprints and releases. It requires substantial effort to make it work in an Agile environment.

Response from Vendor

August 2, 2021

Thanks for giving our product a very positive rating and pointing out it's enterprise-grade and has more robust functionality. You mentioned you need Agile functionality - you have the choice to use Micro Focus ALM Octane (see: https://www.microfocus.com/products/alm-octane/overview), or ALM/Quality Center with Jira integration (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kleONygrbc&list=PLlUdEXI83\_XpO-noDZHe0NtfaQ3lu\_OG5&index=3). ALM Octane has not only full-fledged Agile and DevOps functionalities, but also test and quality management capabilities like ALM/Quality Center.
