What differentiates Micro Focus ALM Octane from other similar products?

This application offers a practical method for managing products during their entire lifecycle. ALM Octane has a REST API that can be used with any automation tool to upload test results.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The addition of agile techniques elements makes this a 2-in-1 application that saves a significant amount of money by serving the functions of JIRA and HL APM. Test Director/Quality Center served as the foundation for ALM Octane. Those quality assurance specialists would be relieved to be in a setting they are comfortable with.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's too late and too little, which is more significant. ALM Octane is attempting to emulate the standards Jira and RallyDev established years ago, but what's the use?

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This tool has all feature needed for the Product Development Lifecycle. To give our clients the best value and service possible, we can integrate with all sector leaders. The Consultants answer our questions in a timely manner. The application's user interface (UI) is incredibly responsive and functions effectively on practically any device.

It is most beneficial if product is implemented from starting of the testing cycles and designing stages
