I think the area of release management in the tool is an area of concern where improvements are required. In general, the connection between releases and scrum teams needs improvement, as it could be optimized owing to its linkages, making it very uncomfortable as soon as you have strong teams or scrum teams that work with different items over several releases. In future product releases, the solution needs to focus a bit more on the metric part. The product's dashboard is a metric for productivity and process control.

The number of individuals participating in the deployment process varies. Our company provides testing services, employs 34,000 individuals, and many of our clients utilize Micro Focus ALM Octane. This implies that many people use this tool, after considering 34,000 end-users from our company's end who are using Micro Focus ALM Octane. For deployment, the number of required tech engineers depends on the size of the project. For installation, one or two people may suffice. However, for usage, there will be many others who need to use it. The tool itself does not require any maintenance. However, it may require customization based on the specific needs of each customer. Workflows may need to be customized to meet the unique requirements of each customer. It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I have familiarity with Micro Focus ALM Octane because I'm currently using it. I'm using the latest version of the solution. As it's only been a month since Micro Focus ALM Octane was implemented, only three people use it within my company, in particular, administrators and engineers. For the deployment and maintenance of Micro Focus ALM Octane, one experienced person is sufficient. My company has plans to expand Micro Focus ALM Octane usage. I'm still not sure if I'd recommend Micro Focus ALM Octane to others because I'm still exploring it. I'm rating Micro Focus ALM Octane as seven out of ten because other products have better integration with open-source solutions versus Micro Focus ALM Octane. I'm a customer of Micro Focus ALM Octane.
