The Best Development Tool To Manage Workflow

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Helix ALM from other similar products?

The management of errors or workflow issues, as well as the capability to retain risk management data without influencing other processes, stand out among the many positive characteristics that this platform offers. An additional excellent argument is in favor of using traceability for design verification.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As a software developer, I consider Helix ALM to be exceptional software because of its superb automation and wide range of possibilities for development artifacts. Additionally, it enables us to connect the dots among its features, such as test runs, test cases, problems, needs, etc.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Because each user's screen has a unique view and they are concerned that they may not be able to access certain information, it occasionally offers users so many options that they get overloaded.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Requirements, Tests, and Defects can all be managed with Helix ALM, which is a very adaptable platform. The support team responds and offers assistance quite quickly.
