Pros

  • It integrates very well with Micro Focus ALM.
  • It integrates with Elastic Search -- a bit difficult to achieve, but it does it.

Cons

  • The integration to Synchronizer is very difficult to implement.
  • The integration to Jira was very hard to get working.

Return on Investment

  • Our Performance Measurement team uses ALM all the time for test performance measurement in conjunction with HP Performance Center. We could not have such a robust performance capability without ALM.
  • Not being on the management side of it (I am a technical resource for support), I do not have solid information on ROI.
