Helps to create tasks, change requests and documentation

I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn. The tool has a dashboard that details our projects and products, including the number of tasks, change requests, and their statuses (incomplete or complete). Having all this data within the solution makes collaborating easy for our project team. Unlike using multiple tools, having everything we need in one software platform is convenient. I rate the tool's user experience and interface a nine point five out of ten.

Real-time dashboards provide clear insights into project progress and team velocity

Rally Software is easy to use for Agile project methodology because it follows Scrum and Kanban, helping with sprint planning and backlog management. Rally Software provides real-time dashboards for different kinds of stakeholders and governance, giving clear insights into project progress, team velocity, and potential risks.

Pros

"I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn."

"PTC Integrity has good stability."

"The tool is quite structured and has a good command set."

"We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information."

"We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client."

"Complete traceability as per process requirements."

"The solution is flexible in terms of customization. You can bend and reformat it in many ways. You can also customize the APIs and public functions."

"I have found that previously, the OEM sector was managing everything, possibly manually. However, with the introduction of the product, it has become much easier for customers to handle their products. Previously, customers were using different software to manage their products. However, PTC Integrity offers a solution for requirements management, test management, and even development to support live ticket management. So instead of using multiple software tools, we can use it for all these purposes."

More PTC Integrity pros

"Gives me a dashboard where I can see what things are not being worked on, what things are blocked."

"Agile Central allows us to log one hundred percent of the work we do and it allows for no hidden work, so teams can't go under the radar with what they're working on."

"The transparency it allows us to provide, both from the team level all the way through the executive level within the company and the work that we are doing."

"Helps me determine how fast I can launch, go to production."

"Rally Software provides real-time dashboards for different kinds of stakeholders and governance, giving clear insights into project progress, team velocity, and potential risks."

"Having that view into features and roadmap from product to delivery teams, and where they are going, then execute on."

"Reporting is much easier and faster than Micro Focus ALM, with CA AC built on web services... Also, the data is more granular when it comes to tasks, iterations, sprints, and releases."

"The most useful part is how it breaks down tasks into parents and children, manageable tasks. It has a whole project as an initiative, and then it breaks it down further and further. And then you get to actual user stories and tasks that you can sit and develop."

More Rally Software pros

Cons

"From my experience over the years, I believe there might be room for improvement in PTC Integrity. While it's already a good product, it tends to be slower than other software. When it becomes bulky, it slows down even more, sometimes leading to crashes or hangs that require restarting the computer before being able to use PTC Integrity again. This has been my experience multiple times."

"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility."

"We are unhappy because everything that we needed required customization and this is not a plug-and-play type of solution at all."

"There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA."

"I would like to see better integration from the architectural side."

"It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer."

"The user-friendliness of PTC Integrity can be improved. The interface is not intuitive for first-time users and takes time to get accustomed to."

"It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use."

More PTC Integrity cons

"A lot of the features that we would be looking to add, I am learning may not be within Agile Central, but part of another CA tool set."

"CA Agile Central does not have a workflow tool included."

"We did submit an enhancement request. I think a lot of teams that do very large scale products have the same issue. They just do not realize it would help them."

"In terms of improvement, perhaps some more metrics. If they could add some additional, that would be cool."

"The solution is expensive."

"The product itself seems to have a lot of bugs. One issue is that it sometimes allows people to modify data inappropriately. For example, team members can change numbers at will. While we have a mechanism to track changes, people can still alter numbers, create or delete tasks, and create or delete high-level activities without proper controls."

"From a test management perspective, it should have the capability to give you both automation and manual integration in one place."

"I would like for workspace admins to be able to hide projects in the Project Picker and not lose any historical data; make them invisible to certain users, visible to certain users, depending on permission sets. That would be lovely."

More Rally Software cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"We are always looking for a discount, if the solution was less expensive it would be a benefit."

"I don't know the exact pricing, but I think the tool is priced high. They provide quality workmanship, good software, regular upgrades, and they're always attentive and listen to users. Everything comes with a price. I think it's an expensive solution compared to Jira or other competitors, but it's a complete package."

"Rally Software costs $50 a month, and for a base account, that price is acceptable."

"The license costs are fairly high as compared to some of the other solutions out there."

"From a price point, it's a cost effective solution for our needs."

"It is expensive and may not be worthwhile for a small company."

"I understand it's a little more expensive. That is why many people prefer Jira."

"Frankly, pricing is expensive and needs to be carefully planned for when budgeting."
