Overall Satisfaction with HP Application Lifecycle Management
HP Application Lifecycle Management is used in our whole organization for testings new requirements.
We are using ALM as our bug lifecycle management tool. The major benefit of this tool is its ability to integrate with HP's other testing tools which makes it a perfect automated testing framework.

- Simplicity and broader ways to integrate other project management tools with it. The tool has a good GUI and better test data management mechanism
- Notification mechanism and reporting features are also competitive
- ALM only works well with Internet Explorer, and because of that it inherits all the performance issues from IE
- It's very slow sometimes. There is improvement required in this context.
- Initial learning curve is a bit steep due to digital signs.
- Positive impact on testing cycle as it pops up and tracks current status of defects management
- You go from creating your test cycles, test campaigns, specifying your business requirements, to creating test scenarios. Optional tools like HP Sprinter can be used to record your test scenarios, and the script will be helpful for the persons in charge the testing.
- Integration with SAP: from solution manager solution documentation to SAP ECC, there are many connectors out there that can be used to transfer data from and to HP ALM.
We have not tried any other tools so it is hard to compare.
