Efficient Source Code Management: Several users have found that PTC Integrity is a highly effective tool for managing source code, particularly for larger teams. It enables easy identification of team members working on specific code and facilitates seamless code consolidation.

Effective Version Control: Many reviewers have praised the version control feature within PTC Integrity, which allows for easy tracing of the team responsible for bug fixes in the code even after a significant period of time has passed. Additionally, they appreciate the 4-digit versioning system they implemented to mark specific versions based on release and type of fix.

Comprehensive Change and Defect Management: Users consistently mention the value of PTC Integrity's change management and defect management tools. Its customizable workflow enables approval from multiple managers and can be tailored to meet specific team requirements. The change packages feature greatly assists in identifying which artifacts were modified for each request, whether it be a bug fix, enhancement, or user story.

Outdated Look and Feel: Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the outdated look and feel of the tool, comparing it to an old JAVA applet view. They felt that the software needs a more modern GUI design in order to give it a premium feel.

Lack of Code Merge Feature: Several users have mentioned the absence of a code merge feature, which is essential for developers to work parallelly and merge their code. This limitation hampers teams from efficiently working on multiple issues within the same application.

Difficulties with Connectivity and Client Loading: Users have reported experiencing connectivity and client loading issues while using the software. These problems arise when trying to perform tasks such as merging, backfilling, or opening the integrity client. It has caused inconvenience for some users who had to resort to command prompt scripts to resolve corrupted files and launch the software.

With 20 different teams of 8 developers each working on different paced projects with one single code base, our company decided MKS Integrity would be a great solution to purchase. MKS Integrity was chosen after reviewing products by IBM, Atlassian and a few other open source products. The great thing about MKS Integrity is that it is more of a toolbox of components rather than a tool. You can take components and make them work exactly the way you want your solution to work. For example, we started off by using this strictly for an SVN replacement. We only needed a couple of projects with many sandboxes. Then we used the toolkit to migrate away from another project management tool and track all change requests through customized screens in MKS. The change requests had strict workflows, allowing better management and control over changes. Then the company designed a QA process and issue tracking within MKS. Then came the help desk software replacement with further build out of Integrity. Over time, we replaced almost all of the one off applications/solutions used by Dev, QA, HelpDesk, Business Development & Project Management into one single solution MKS.
  • Independent development sandboxes that allows each team to work on projects without affecting the delivery of other projects.
  • Change packages - identifying exactly what artifacts were changed for a given request (bug fix, enhancement, user story).
  • Integrity objects - "building blocks" - ability to create any type of container for help desk, QA, development, requirements. These are highly customizable and some simple javascript code can help with validation and workflow triggers.
  • Connectivity/client loading issues - probably not as often as I would deem a show stopper for the solution, but we had experienced a lot of connectivity issues when trying to merge or perform a backfill. Or when trying to open the integrity client, we would experience some type of configuration file corruption. We had to keep a few command prompt scripts ready to go on our desktops to kill off the old corrupted files so that integrity would launch.
  • One of the selling points for Integrity was the quick rollback functionality. Yes, rolling back code was easier than other solutions with tools to inspect change packages, etc, but it required mostly manual effort.
The product is well suited for large development organizations that have multiple software solutions being developed at different intervals. It is probably less suited and an over-kill for smaller organizations. If your organization has a large development team, qa team, a business analyst/requirements gathering team and you want to ensure that all teams are working well together, this is the solution for your organization. I would recommend MKS Integrity over IBM's Clearcase/Clearquest.
  • Increased Employee Efficiency
  • Better Visibility and Productivity
  • Better collaboration
MKS Integrity is a toolbox of components that you can use to create any Software Change Configuration Management system to fit your own organization. This was the main reason why we went with Integrity over the other solutions that were evaluated.
