I find Monday helpful for lead management. It's great because details like phone, email, and addresses are specific columns from which we can grab data and pull it into other areas. It's great to see who is assigned what and to know what the next steps are for your leads. We use a different scheduling tool with our team, as that calendar view isn't as robust.

If someone is already using ALM Octane, then it is worth the pain to go through the upgrade process to get the current versions. If you need it to tie into Jira, it can do that. Just be prepared for a rough road. If you have some other product that you use for DevOps, PM, and QA, you will probably be better off sticking with what you have. DaVita also uses TFS, but not in a full implementation (i.e. not with a build server for code deployment), so for them, ALM makes a lot of sense. If you are using TFS with a build server, there are other methodologies that won't end up making you want to pull your hair out trying to make it integrate with what you are using.

monday dev is intuitive, though slightly more complex that work management. If you can function in work management you can function in dev with minimal assistance.

I think that overall the way that monday dev stands out among its competitors is the great design layout and also its ease of use. Most platforms have so many steps when editing a project or customizing its view, and when you work with monday dev, you are able to customize it on the go with ease.

Micro Focus ALM Octane use at DaVita goes back beyond my starting with them three years ago. They have used it as part of DevOps as well as for performance measurement of software releases in combo with HP Performance Center (a great combination). Jira is well suited to managing bug reports and development processes with Agile and Scrum, but ALM Octane goes above and beyond that.

  • We can more easily grab the KPIs for our quarterly reviews.
  • There are no automatic charts or reports I can pull for the quarter. Everything is manually gathered.
  • Doesn't give us job costing.
