We moved to this product for trial purpose as its licenses ended up being quite cheap compared to ALM. However, adding the test cases and assigning them to particular testers can be improved.

What is most valuable?

It's really hard to say what the most valuable features are with this solution.

What needs improvement?

Adding the test cases and assigning them to particular testers can be improved.

The testers who wrote the test cases and added it to the plan were the only ones able to see and execute it. Others, who weren't this involved, couldn't.

And we weren't able to find the import function of test cases from Excel.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for one month as a trial.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We previously used HP Quality Center, now ALM, before but moved to this product for trial purpose as the licenses of Silk Central ended up being quite cheap compared to ALM.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

The setup was already done before we started using it.

How was the initial setup?

It was implemented through a vendor.

What about the implementation team?

I'm unsure of the exact price but was definitely cheaper than ALM.

What other advice do I have?

It would certainly be worth the cost, but you need to be committed to using it long term. Only then would you actually know the real features of the product and how they can be helpful.
