"HP-QC does not support Agile. It is designed for Waterfall. This is the number one issue that we're facing right now, which is why we want to look for another tool. We're a pharmaceutical services company, so we require electronic signatures in a tool, but this functionality isn't available in HP-QC. We don't have 21 CFR, Part 11, electronic signatures, and we need compliant electronic signatures. Some of the ALM tools can toggle between tabular format and document format for requirements, but the same feature is not available in this solution. There is also no concept of base-lining or versioning. It doesn't exist."

"Only Internet Explorer is supported. That is a big problem. They don't support Chrome and Firefox and so on."
"There are too many features with the product and I would like there to be less."
"The performance could be faster."
"The integration with Git needs improving because it is a bit disjointed and unpredictable."
"The solution should be cheaper."
