The primary use case is for APIs and API testing.
Senior Consultant at Hexagon Capability Center India
A great project management feature, easy to install, but is challenging to update
Pros and Cons
- "The initial setup is straightforward."
- "It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The feature I find valuable is project management. It allows us to organize our test cases and suits inside the project. It also gives the ability to store the variables in terms of properties so they can be used across test cases and test suits, so they can be placed at the project level or test suit level, or test case level.
What needs improvement?
It is challenging doing upgrades and patches because sometimes the environmental variables or suits in the projects get erased. The solution can be improved by adding redundancy to protect the data from being erased. I would like to have the database integration like using the JDVC improved. The last thing would be a more user-friendly way to update the definition and refactor the definitions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for three and a half years.

Scalability is actually another really useful and convenient function of this software. It has the ability to pass tests on different machines. You need to have a kind of server on a machine. Then you can instal clients from the other machines and then the application does tests on different machines. It's really convenient as well.
It's used on a daily basis.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their support can be a bit slow.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was quite easy, it wasn't a problem at all. It took around half an hour to set up.
What other advice do I have?
The main advantage is that it could be integrated into different CI/CD tools. That is something that is really valuable and helpful.
I would rate it an eight out of ten.
In the next release, they should make the ability to extend different functions a bit easier. We extend some functionalities and it's possible to extend the functionalities because you have the ability to add many interesting pieces by yourself to that API but it's not so easy. It would really help if they improved that.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
