Zephyr Enterprise Reviews

I love the ability to generate Reports and manage tests with ease. The rest APIs also allow to update of results of automation scripts to the JIRA and auto-generate dashboards, and status in JIRA. The ability to add custom fields for test objects is a big customizability power.

The rest APIs can be made more simple to use.

It allowed the entire project team to work together on all aspects of their testing within the context of their specific software releases, while keeping a global view. Using structured and freeform test execution cycles, and the ability to run manual or kick-off automated tests in the automation tool of our choice allowed greater scalability. All the results get updated in real time to dashboards...

There were some bugs found after major releases, but these were always turned around and resolved very quickly after reporting them. If we found areas that required new feature requests or enhancements, these are generally delivered in a 4 or 8 week cycle

hello, Thank you for your review of Zephyr. It seems you are quite satisfied with the tool. We would like to connect with you to hear more about your usage of the tool and all of the great things your team is doing. Please contact matthew.king@getzephyr.com so we can learn more. Thanks again

Integrated with Jira, allowed QA to easily capture screenshots

Cant login, login errors, can't use standard Atlassian credentials and forces you to create API keys, constantly forgets credentials but doesnt tell you until after you have filled out a full bug report so you end up losing all your work

- Zephyr can be integrated to Jira so you can maximize the functionalities of Jira to Zephyr's core features- In Zephyr, you can create test cases, test plans, and test cycles very easily- Jira's different issue types like bugs and stories can easily be linked together with Zephyr- User friendly and components are easy to navigate- Can be integrated to other third-party apps for dashboard and reporting

- Even though the tool is user friendly and easy to navigate, the user experience is quite difficult and the flow of the process can become tedious especially if needs to be done multiple times- Creating of test cases is difficult when it comes to copying and pasting of multiple test steps

Robust two-way synchronization with Jira. Automatically sync's with sprint stories and bugs. Ease of use with solid API integrations and plug-ins with other major release pipeline applications. Customer support and interactions have been outstanding. Zephyr has a Customer Advisory Board, which meets twice a year, to listen to, and respond to the industry. The product and team have advanced rapidly, allowing our organization to accelerate our DevOps initiative. Zephyr continues to be on the foreground of innovation, as seen by their latest release named "Maestro," their DevOps plugin that takes Zephyr to the next level, as a qualitative test management solution. Very satisfied with all aspects of the product and its future road-map.

The only con to Zephyr, is its ability to manage role-based securities. However, through an engagement with our top executives, and the senior executive team from Zephyr, they now have this concern vetted and will be working to incorporate this capability into a future release. Zephyr actively listens to its customers, so any (and I mean any) concerns you have, they truly listen and actively work to satisfy the need.

I worked mostly with Jira Plugin and it's pretty easy, obvious software, although Zephyr Teams & Enterprise more powerful. Easy to monitor testing process, schedule testing and making adjustments.

Even it's a testing tool and team should know everything about quality - they push releases not fully checked, so we tired to have problems one-days a release.

Hello, Thank you for your review. We would like to catch up to hear about some of the issues you were facing with the new releases. Please connect with Matthew.king@getzephyr.com to share some of your issues/concerns. Thanks much

the easy integration with Jira, its mostly simple to configure.

missing better planning and the ability to dictate different configuration in which each test execution should be reported differently. its not fully customizable (the reporting mechanism as well)

easy to create a test plan and traceability between Stories and Task. Easy to execute test cases and monitor daily test executions . Also, you can assign test cases to testers and Tracks bugs vs Test iterations

it is supposed to be a Testing tool, but... every release ( 1 month approx) is a pain, Always you will find a problem and not able to use Zephyr for 3 / 4 days, Looks like a testing tool, does not have a tester to test it? They do not have a Sanity Check to make sure to run a Smoke test and see how is Production. So disappoint it with the Roll out releases and support. The functionality looks right but... they need to fight for the great quality.

It is integrated with JIRA which allows us to associate the test cases and execution with our sprints and user stories which are located in JIRA. It is very easy to associate a test cases to various sprints. The tool provides visualization of where the test case is in our process. The reporting of the test cases is great as well. It provides visualization of the # of passes and failures within a given sprint. It also provides the ability to import test cases/steps from an excel spreadsheet.

It seems like a lot of the information we have to enter for each step within a test case is very repetitive. I have not found a way yet where you can clone the information from a previous step so we do not have to enter the same information over and over again.

hello, Thank you for your response and Review. We appreciate your feedback and love hearing from our customers, so we can gauge what our customers are thinking. Please reach out to Matthew.King@getzephyr.com to learn more about the tool and the cloning options we have availability. Thanks much

Can create test cases directly and execute them separately. Able to link the defects which are in another tools.

Not able to create multiple test runs from the same test plan and execute parallel because it Overriding the final result automatically.

1. Flexibility in updating information. 2. Cheapest add-in 3. Integration with JIRA defect management tool.

1. Integration with other application. 2. Cycle execution. 3. Not much flexible in agile process.

The ease of use and the look of the overall system.

It is not super user friendly, but in its defense we only had it for a short time.

hello, Thank you for your Review of Zephyr. Can you please let us know if you are referring to Zephyr for Jira or Zephyr Enterprise. Our team would love to connect with you more and hear more about your usage. Please reach out to Matthew.king@getzephyr.com to learn more. Thank you for your time

- few steps to create and execute tests - few boilerplate jira objects (execution are on zephyr side, not on jira side) - the "blocked" status

- Really slow to use, the integration with JIRA leads to data loss - Hard to link snapshot, zip and other precondition or result artifacts and access it on execution

We use Zephyr inside JIRA to keep track of our manual testing. It works very well.

Sometimes there are small display issues.

hello, Thank you for your review of Zephyr for Jira. Our team would love to catch up and hear more about your instance and usage of the tool. Please reach out to Matthew.king@getzephyr.com to catch up.

the features provided are great but not always usable

need more on the UX overall, it is NOT an easy app to use
