Provides quick test management for agile workflows but lacks customization for reporting and dashboards
The analytics and reporting capabilities in TestRail are not very extensive and tailorable. This doesn't make it very suitable for enterprise level programs. With OpenText, you have a lot of flexibility. I'm talking about the old version of ALM, the desktop client, which I used when it was still Micro Focus ALM. It has a tremendous ability to generate different types of reports. You can build different graphs, have Word document format, Excel format, or write your own Excel queries and incorporate that into your own reporting. TestRail has one type of format. If you want to generate a test summary report, there is basically only one format that you can use. You can't add your own components. You can choose which portions of your test results you want to include by selecting certain sections, but you don't have freedom to add and remove sections yourself. It's predefined and all that you can do is just take out the ones that you don't want. It is usable, but it's not tailorable, it's not configurable, it just gives you the bare minimum. It depends on what you use the tool for. If you want to use TestRail for enterprise-level waterfall projects with traditional reporting and a lot of analytics, it's not good enough because the analytics, dashboards, and reporting are not really there. However, if you use it for agile and you want quick and easy with very simple functionality, then it's very good because it's simple to use. For agile use cases, it's great and you don't need more than that. But if you are looking for an enterprise tool or waterfall project with large programs, even the enterprise version is not sufficient. There's no significant difference from the basic version. The only thing that you really get is the ability to have multiple project reporting, but the reporting itself is limited. There are no configurable dashboards. You can report across multiple projects, which is great, but the type of reports that you can run are limited to the current set of built-in reports. That's not good enough for enterprise level with multiple project and large programs. You want multiple reports across multiple projects and you want the tailorability and configurability of having dashboards and analytics, which TestRail is weak on for the enterprise level.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"Using HipTest makes the testing process easy and its support for Behavior Driven Development helps align all the team members, whether technical or non-technical."
"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"The functionality and the usage, and usability of TestRail is much better than any other product."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility, ease of use for writing new test cases, the test plans, and the composition."
"I have integrated TestRail, Leapwork, and Jira together using PowerShell scripting, so when we have 100 test cases and before every release goes out to our customers, we kick off the regression run in Leapwork, and at runtime, when the test case passes, it reflects the results on TestRail, and if it fails, it automatically creates a Jira story and sends that story to our backlog for further investigation."
"I use the solution for test management."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that there are various test case templates and test artifact maintenance."
"I was on the lookout for automation testing on the browser and I believe this tool is very interesting in that matter. The solution is useful for UI testing. You just need to add the URL that is to be checked."
"I haven't faced any stability issues using the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"You don't need to follow complex procedures to create a test run, test case, etc."
 

Cons

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"More tutorials and examples."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"TestRail by Gurock could improve by adding a defect management module tool."
"TestRail is a strong tool overall, but there are several areas where it could be better."
"It would be nice to have a description section when creating the test scenario itself so I can indicate what the configuration should be."
"I found it difficult to link requirements to test cases, if I remember correctly."
"The analytics and reporting capabilities in TestRail are not very extensive and tailorable. This doesn't make it very suitable for enterprise level programs."
"Better prediction of text."
"With TestRail, the APIs are there, but they may not be able to easily integrate with Jenkins."
"Better prediction of text."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is based on how many users you have per year. When you grow, it is segmented, For example, 10 to 25, you have a price, and more than 50, or 100, you need to take the enterprise license. I don't think we will reach this point."
"Pricing for small teams seems correct with respect to competitors."
"The product is not much expensive."
"Its price is definitely not more. If they introduce automation, they can charge more."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The product has a reasonable price in terms of the features."
"The solution is quite reasonably priced for what it offers and offers a monthly subscription model."
"My advice to others is to shop around for the best deal. Some options out there are free in cyberspace."
