Some things are easy. Some are a bucket of worms. Get it right and things will flow smoothly.
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.
