SpiraTest compares very well to other well known project management applications.
SpiraTest compares very well to other well known project management applications.
SpiraTest beats Quality Center in the ability to create different workflows for multiple incident types, and workflow customization is based on a simple interface rather than on VBScript. The ability to link project artifacts together seems much easier and intuitive the Quality Center. Best of all, SpiraTest has a tool to communicate with Quality Center if you need to work in both applications.
SpiraTest also compares well with Pragmatic Software Planner. Information is much more accessible in SpiraTest, and everything actually works. Software Planner loses points for having a more rigid workflow, a non-intuitive interface, and for features that just don't work, like custom reports.
Avantages
You can't beat SpiraTest without paying a lot more (and even then you might be disappointed).
- Surprisingly easy set up.
- Fantastic ease of use once you get used to the workflow paradigm (change status, verify newly required fields, then update).
- Traceability: We love how all project components can be linked together.
- Test case management: Create individual steps for each test case, and link steps from one test case to another to prevent step duplication. Create a test run, and send information to your automated testing software. Software testing heaven.
- Workflow management: custom workflows by project or even by incident type. Cusomtization is implemented by interface, not language.
- Support: Inflectra support has been fantastic in helping us migrate data into SpiraTest from our previous system.
- Meets our needs: Our consulting firm needed a one-stop app that would work for multiple long- and short-term projects. We found SpiraTest, we tried it, and we love it.
Inconvénients
Enhancements to current features, rather than new features, seems to be the rule:
- ability to create and administer user groups on a project level instead of only at the application level.
- mass updating of multiple artifacts (change all incidents with this type to that type)
- update workflow transitions by user type instead of altering each transition.
- Workflow takes a little getting used to; transitions must be performed in the following order - 1. Select the desired status, 2. Fill out ALL the newly required fields (check all the tabs), and then 3. Update.
- Custom fields are hidden on their own tab in the lower half of the main pane. It would be nice to have the option to place some custom fields on the main pane.
- Would be nice to be able to hide fields that aren't desired for a certain project.
- Would like the ability to assign certain SysAdmin rights on a project level.
- Would like a few more report cusomization options.

Way better than Excel, Testuff, and other lower price point Test Management tools.
Test data management without the risk of irreversible or unaudited changes.
A cloud accessible test management tool for my test team
Avantages
The ability to group test cases, the folder hierarchy, test sets and test runs per release.
So glad the all tests with tests steps view was added (Table view)
Customisable reports are very useful once configured/scripted correctly (although the interface/mechanism is too complex for non-developers/non-technical people. It is far from intuitive)
Inconvénients
Data imported to the Excel template via the Excel add-on should arrive in a format that could be immediately exported back to Spira. This would facilitate faster creation of duplicates with minor amendments, such as copying large tests sets to be rerun in a new release.
Reporting. It's difficult to find the report you want without having to run one to see the story it tells. A snapshot of the report with generic data would be handy.
Failing/blocking a test should start creating the incident. These should be seamless. Select existing incident should be an option there also.
There should be a way to clear results from a step, not just select a different result.
There needs to be a X by Y grid matrix of requirements to tests in Reports
The Export to Excel option should work for multiple selections
The data structure should be made available within the Reporting UI to facilitate customised report writing. A drag and drop UI would be a big improvement, as would a sample view to see the impact of your changes with dummy data without having to run the report
The name of the current test should remain on screen while the steps for it are visible. As the last step scrolls off the screen the next test name can then appear.

Love version 4 but we are unable to work with version 5
My rating above is for Spiratest version 5.
We have used and loved Spiratest for the last three years but we are considering stop using after seeing version 5 features. We upgraded to version 5 months ago and we have to downgrade it because we found it unusable. I was hoping something has gone wrong with the upgrade and we started a trial version hosted by Inflecta so we could create a brand new project and work with any problems and issues with tech support.
It turns out the original upgrade was working fine and what we thought were bugs turned out to be features. We can't work with projects that force our test cases to be ordered alphabetically. To upgrade to version 5 will cause us to spend a lot of time creating custom fields and assigning numbers so we can see the test cases in the order we like. In addition, we will need to write code so we can have a report that doesn't list the test cases in alphabetical order. It doesn't make sense to us to spend time and resources trying to make the new version work like the previous version.
I am not opposed to software changes and I am always happy to see improvements in new versions but this is a showstopper for us. We are in the process of deciding whether we need to keep to paying our annual fee if we are not going to continue upgrading the software. Sorry, we loved your software but you lost us here.

Hi Begonia
Sorry that you didn't like the changes in v5.0. Unfortunately for every user that liked the way the old folders and test cases worked, a much larger number really didn't like them and found them cumbersome and confusing. That's why we did the redesign in v5.0 and most of our users are much happier. But as the old saying goes, you cannot please everyone!
If you really need it to work the old way, then probably staying on v4.0 makes the most sense.

Overall it's good an makes test management and running a lot smoother
Avantages
The history features of test cases are nice. The ability to link requirements to test steps is nice (allthough could be improved as it is lost on clone). The tracking of progress is nice and ability to create incidents from a specific test steps helps a lot. All the different types of reports that are available to generate are also quite nice.
Inconvénients
The lack of branching/versioning of test cases. This is a big con for us and we're hoping that it will be looked at in the future. Another problem is the linking of requirements to test steps, it feels like it's lacking a bit; it should be possible to 1. Clone a test case and keep the requirements on the test steps (currently they're lost) 2. If a requirement is just linked to a test step the result should be possible to link to that, currently if a step not at all related to the requirement fails the requirement will also fail. Also we'd like a report where it's easy to see the traceability and result of test run and requirement, e.g.:
REQ1 PASSED
REQ2 FAILED
Currently it is possible to get the requirement and what Test case it is tested in and then print out all of the test cases to see the results. We'd just like a bit of an easier report/tracking here. If possible it would also be nice to add a comment to FAILED, maybe what test case failed (if it is tested in more than one) and perhaps even incident numbers of some sort.
Réponse de Inflectra
Thanks for the positive feedback on SpiraTest, including the ability to link requirements to test steps (most tools limit the link to just test cases). We do plan on adding requirements/test case baselining functionality, we already support test case and requirements versioning and history tracking.
The linking of requirements to test steps and the corresponding reporting was added recently and we shall be enhancing its reporting and tracking in future releases.
You can report a reason when a test case / test step fails (in fact you have to), and we already include built-in defect creation and linking during the test execution process, so we're not sure what the reviewer meant by that part.

Spira Test Review
Pro:
- covers Requirements as well as Test Cases
- compatibility with automatic testing tools
- possibility to create Test Sets
- execute Test Sets separately from the Test Cases they contain
Con:
- "keep me logged in" doesn't work (sometimes changes are lost)
- sometimes the lists aren't displayed correctly (then after selecting "Show Level 1" it works again, but it's annoying)
- mixed language (German and English - wouldn't care if it is only English .. maybe depending on the language of the browser?)
- the tree list view to the left when editing one Requirement or Test Case is often not displayed correctly which makes it difficult to navigate
- moving of list items sometimes doesn't work
- "Administration" link is only displayed if a project is opened for which someone is Project Owner, even if he is an overall administrator
- if text is copied from a Test Step and the whole text field was selected, a grey background is pasted
Nice to have:
- Maybe it isn't possible - but it would be nice to have the possibility to link a Test Case to an automatic testing tool for each Test Set which contains this Test Case. Because we are testing automatically with Smart Bear's TestComplete and we also use the possibility to have one Test Case in several Test Sets, if they are the same. Due to some slight differences we can't use the same recorded test (in TestComplete) for all of the Test Sets.
- It would be nice to have a choice if an item is pasted before or after the checked item in the list.
- We would like to have the possibility to link a Test Case folder with a superior Requirement. If then a Test Case is created from a Requirement, the new Test Case should be in the linked folder. It is annoying to search for a new Requirement at the end of the list and moving it up into the corresponding folder. Or maybe you can provide a choice into which folder the new Test Case should be created.
Overall:
We are happy to have a tool which provides the possibility to manage Requirements, Test Cases and Test Sets. Also the feature to test automatically is great! But we were a little bit disappointed that the last update just brought some changes regarding design. The buggy functionalities influencing the usability were not fixed (e.g. displaying the list). Or maybe we recognized only the design changes. Overall, we put trust into the Inflectra team that those annoying usability issues will be fixed.

Nice Product. Easy to use ,everything can be tracked in one application..that's awesome.
Its simple and reliable use as compare to industry leaders in this field. Good value for money and excellent support. Also its capabilities to integrate with other tools.
Avantages
1-I love the feature to track the bugs. Its so simpler and the enhanced feature of embedding screenshot makes my job lot easier.
2-The reporting section is also good and the available formats to extract reports make my team as well as dev team more comfortable to understand the generated reports.
3-Enabling us to manage the requirement also plays an important role in putting this ahead of some competitors . Its very easy to track requirements either by release or by test cases.
4-last but not the least. Excellent customer Service.
Inconvénients
As I do not see any major flaw in this but yes something needs to be updated/enhanced to make it more user friendly:
1-Allow to delete User. Currently it only allows to disable the user.
2-Flexibility to add our own status to Requirements.
3- few UI issues in reporting.

Nice tool but needs lot of improvement
Avantages
1) Cloud based software and hence we dont have to worry about maintaining it.
2) Can create Test plan and defect in same tool and can link the defect to the test plan ID which is useful feature.
Inconvénients
1) UI, Look and feel is so old and need drastic change.
2) Session time out value is too low and need to login very frequently.
3) The defect number is not based on the product/project and its based on complete subscription. for ex: Defect number 1 might be for one product and defect number 2 might be assigned to different product. the next numbering should be per product/project.
4) attaching images are not user friendly.
Réponse de Inflectra
We are a bit surprised with this review as we completely changed the UI about 3 months ago in v5.4. Also capturing screenshots is very easy, you just paste in the image, no uploading needed, perhaps the user was not aware of how this works.
In terms of the IDs that is correct, but that is because you can share defects across projects (unlike other tools like JIRA) so you need to have globally unique IDs.

SpiraTest in not meeting our expectation
It would be good if you can improve your product usability and user-friendly
Customer support resolving issues are not as expected - for many issues, there was no solution from support team
While using the application we were getting exceptions in many areas
Overall I would like to see if you can improve on the below-mentioned areas, which is affecting us very badly
1. Allow to delete user
2. To prepare a test suite for execution - takes lot of time
3. No flexibility to add our own status to Requirements/Releases - due to this we are not able to sync with Jira properly
4. Filtering or searching is not working properly
5. Report can be made simple to use
6. Still struggling to understand how your dashboard displays the data
7. Not able to sync Severity field of SpiraTest with Jira
8. Uploading test cases is been very difficult (we don't have folder option ) to directly upload the test cases into a specific folder.
9. Bulk Edit of test cases is not available
Avantages
Cost wise it is affordable
Inconvénients

We Use it Everyday
We use SpiraTest daily. We use it as a repository for our requirements and use the workflow to help move them through the review and approval cycle. There are some issues with the workflow that need to be fixed by Inflectra but overall it helps us to be more efficient.
We convert the requirements to test case shells and the test team writes the test cases based on the shell. It makes it very convenient to be able to have the requirements and the requirements tied together. When the test cases get executed SpiraTest helps us see where we are in the test cycle.
Additionally, we use the incident management to track bugs and other issues that arise during the test process.
Overall we like the product. There are some outstanding issues that Inflectra needs to address, but the customer support has always been very responsive and being a small business the price of the package and support has been affordable.
Avantages
Affordable and has lots of features.
Inconvénients
Some quality issues. The software is well thought out, but it takes a little bit of time to learn its operation.

Automation v.s Manual and training has been made easier for an individual whom prior to 2018 had no I.T experience, I could pick up the product and teach myself with the Inflectra Webinaar sessions provided by CSR and the bloaks. FORZA
Avantages
Spira Test meets halfway with Agile methodology and brings it to life with a user experience unparalleled in the current industry, excelsior!
Inconvénients

Very simple tool that works well within our organisation
The major benefit was the introduction of formalised test management processes that inherently increase the capability maturity of our organisation.
Avantages
Very easy to use and setup. The requirement management is suitable and integrates well with test management and incident management (defects). By far the best part of the software is that we get all this are a very reasonable price.
Inconvénients
Some inconsistencies with editing such as placing of 'save' button and the wording for those buttons that are moderately unintuitive. Custom Reporting would be nice and the reports in general need work; as does the exporting of graphs (which are all black).
Réponse de Inflectra
Hello,
Thank you for reviewing SpiraTest.

Spiratest is the prefect monitoring solution for our testing needs
I have recommend Spiratest to my client ever since their version 2.0. The easy to use presentation, the report generation, the overall test structure of using a Test Catalog (Test Scenario) to built specific group of sequential test cases (Test Sets) help me create the proper tracking for mastering of End-to-End Test Scenario (reusing single test cases as modular steps)
Avantages
Easy to use and personalize dashboards
Inconvénients

Varied feature set yet unintuitive to use
Finding a suitable test management system isn't an easy thing to do and various of the features offered by SpiraTest in theory come off sounding like a good thing, in practice however it feels more like a battle when it comes to using it on a regular basis and sometimes leaves the user desiring simpler solutions, which may not offer this almost object-oriented like approach to reusable content, but are at least easier to learn and use.
Avantages
Can share and re-use test content
Can create instances of a test that allow for snapshots relevant to the time of execution
Inconvénients
Tricky to learn / Not intuitive
Interface doesn't make the re-use of test content as straight forward as it could be
Attachment system can result in a messy collection of files stored within repository (and can then make selecting attachments tricky too)
Réponse de Inflectra
I'm sorry that you found it harder to use SpiraTest than anticipated. We put significant effort into the UX to make it work for teams and projects of different sizes, and we will certainly listen to your feedback to see how we can do even better.

SpiraTest for effective Test Management
Avantages
Our team reviewed the free trial of SpiraTest as a test management tool for our organization. It was very easy to use and setup. Now, we are looking at purchasing it.
It integrates easily with Jira as a project management tool and it is a cheaper option to other test management tools .
Inconvénients
I realize that once a user is created there is no way of deleting them, you can only disable the user. Some things like the auto-mail content and workflow names are not customizable.

Great value for money software with fantastic support
Avantages
Have been using Spiratest for the last 3 years for defect tracking and test execution. It was already in use when i joined the company and i found it easy to use and feature rich. We use e seperate project for each or our customers & we can give them access to their own project to track defects during UAT.
Inconvénients
Reports and workflows restricted to individual projects which gets really frustrating unless all work is done in a single project. No Enterprise reporting included so far, but i am told this is coming soon.

Worth the money ;-)
It would be nice to have a forum/wiki on your website, where people can exchange knowledge or problems with other users.
Avantages
quite easy to create testcases
management of releases is a good feature
interfaces between ldap and jira work well
clear structure (by folders) of testcases
clear notion of testing progress
good export features (ecxel, word, html)
support is very fast, competent and friendly
Inconvénients
As a beginner it often happens that you leave a page without saving your work (for e.g. by clicking a link in the navigation). A hint, that you explicitly have to changes before you leave would be very helpfull.
When deleting an item, there is a confirmation dialog. It would be helpfull if this dialog would also contain the name of the item to be deleted.
It would be nice if attachements (e.g. screenshots) could be synchronized between jira and spiratest.
If you comment on an issue that has already been synchronized to jira, this comment is not submitted to jira (it only works from jira to spiratest)
Error messages within the windows event viewer are not easy to understand.
Réponse de Inflectra
1) We do have support forums on our website (which we have let the customer know about)
2) We shall be adding better save and delete confirmations across the application.
3) The ability to sync attachments to/from JIRA will be part of a scheduled update to the plugin.

Excellent Support Reponses !
Great product for the 4-5 days I've worked with it.
Avantages
Took a few days to get used to but decent interface and meets most our needs thus far, submitted questions to Support on details and got great rapid response. Thank you !
Inconvénients
Can't link a Requirement# to a Test Step within a Test Case.(Support forwarded request to development). Adding screen shots to a Test Step doesn't look like it can be done - we have lots of screen shots per our existing test steps, would like to get them in somehow, not just listed at the bottom of the Test Case. Q: Is there a way to display multiple Test Cases at once down the screen ? Often, there is a need to reference other Test Cases content more easily than clicking back and forth to another Test Case, so another Test Case can be completed or edited. It would be nice to be able to see multiple Test Cases displayed on the screen somehow, in parallel, or cascaded format, like Windows does - for ease in scoping a bigger picture say for consolidating similar Test Cases already written, etc. Thanks.
Réponse de Inflectra
User was not aware of test step attachments tab, we provided guidance on how to use.
Regarding the display of multiple test case, the system supports the use of browser tabbed browsing so that each browser tab can contain a different test case.

Great tool to help organize your testing needs
A few years ago we worked with this product on a trial basis. Everyone liked the fact that it helped keep our test cases organized and consistent regardless of who wrote them. We were able to bring the product on full time. When I left the company moved to another one, SPIRA was one of the first software applications that I pushed for to have and I continue to do so.

Bug integration with TFS in progress
I'm currently evaluating SpiraTest for my company and actually have not yet used all of its functionality. I'm in the process of configuring SpiraTest to integration with my bug tracking system, Team Foundation Server 2017. I found the documentation a bit dated, but useable and in the end I'm sure it will work. I've contacted the Inflectra support folks and they have always answered my questions. Fantastic support crew! I find custom fields for SpiraTest easier to configure than the other end -- TFS. TFS requires a Visual Studio license to configure certain items like state transitions. SpiraTest by contrast is very EASY to configure!
Avantages
Ease of use and configuration of all administrative actions. (GUI!)
Great support!
Has a centralized document repository.
Fast interface, very responsive.

Somewhat dated documentation on integrations. (bug integration between SpiraTest and TFS)

this is not my first test management system
I come from more than a decade in Quality Assurance and I normally use Mercury Test Director or QTP. I am sure if you touted out feature lists one of the big guys would win and maybe a little bit in usability. I looked at more than a dozen products and the bottom line is that SpiraTest is a hugely superior value over everything I evaluated.
We installed 9 months ago after an extended trial where we used it on a small cycled project. The staff was a tremendous help and a big part of our decision. We manage testing cycles for various projects across many departments. We are able to train quickly and let people take over as their own project owners in many cases and just stay in touch and help them along the way. Other projects we manage internally. One repository already has 13,000 test cases in it from a previous software import.
Avantages
The value was great. Nothing came close.
The flexibility is great with the plugins. We are attached to our hosted JIRA service and are working on Selenium right now.
The support staff has always been great, from the first day of our trial on.
Inconvénients
We have had a few down times. It was never enough to warrant a phone call, but a minor frustration.
Image use is limited or at least not how we would like it.
Its not perfect. :)

Great product at the price and brilliant support
I'd still go with the de-facto standard QC only if a) I had the budget AND b) I knew that we would make use of the additional features and would use it on a scale that justified the additional cost.
To anyone looking to buy this type of tool, I'd suggest giving SpiraTest serious consideration, and being honest with yourself about whether you really are going to use all the features of a higher-priced tool.
I'll certainly remember SpiraTest and consider it the next time I find myself going into a team that doesn't have a test management tool in place.
Avantages
- Agree with other reviews that Adam is incredibly helpful, and he responded brilliantly to our enquiries
- Great tool for the price. It does everything we need it to.
- Good integration with other tools provided by add-ons and the web service.
- Very fair approach to license upgrades, as user base grows. (SpiraTest started off in one QA team and is now being used by three teams within the company.)
Inconvénients
- As a TD/QC user for 10 years I do miss some features, and the UI isn't as 'polished'. But at this price I really can't complain.

For me I look for a tool that allows me to get my job done faster and still provide me the data I need. This tool does that and with the enhancements that are planed it will actually be very valuable for other portions of our company.
The other thing I look for is a responsive customer & tech support team. Inflectra has hands down the best support teams I have ever worked with. Makes all the difference when you can tell them what you need to product to do and the actually address your needs.
Avantages
I really love this tool it does exactly what I need as a QA manager and gives me a lot of flex ability. The best part is the service. From the phone support to the responsiveness of the development team I could not be happier with this purchase. This is the first QA application I have ever used that I could say that about.
If you are looking for a tool to track REQs, Releases, Test Cases, and Defects this is what you are looking for.
Inconvénients
I can't really think of any cons with the product or the service. Anything I can thing of they are in the process of adding to the code.

Overall, SpiraTest gets a 9 out of 10 for its reach functionality and ease to use.
Overall, SpiraTest gets a 9 out of 10 for its reach functionality and ease to use.
9 because there also is room for improvement and because, even though we consider it to be the best tool that fits our needs, we would have wanted functionality that allows us to reuse test cases easily.
Avantages
Excellent Customer Support, starting from the first day of evaluation.
Easy to implement and to use.
Offers integration with Jira and it uses more or less the same look and feel.
Excellent Price !
Very customizable.
Possibility to attach files without size limit.
Very good reporting options, migration options and e-mail notification options.
Project based.
Inconvénients
It is not possible to use test cases from one project to another, even though some functionality can be common.
However, this does not happen in all the companies, only a few might need to use the same test cases when testing two projects with common functionality.

Not for everyone
Spiratest has a lot of features but is very annoying to work with. If you have a very rigid development process it might be a product for you but if you are into more agile processes and/or get annoyed by bad UX this is not a product for you.
Avantages
Very feature rich
Inconvénients
Slow
Extremely lousy inline editing of test cases
UX needs major improvements
You loose edits of test steps if pressing save before update
Workflow is very waterfall or V-model centric.
Réponse de Inflectra
We're sorry to hear that Torsten didn't find SpiraTest appropriate for his organization. The version he's using is not the most recent one and many of his items of feedback have already been addressed, and the others are addressed in the upcoming v4.0 release.
Specifically the feedback around Agile is interesting since SpiraTest provides built-in support for user stories, sprints (iterations), unit test integration and acceptance tests mapped to user stories.
The UI has been completely updated in our v4.0 release which addresses the UX issues.

Working synchronisation with JIRA
Spiratest is a complete test management software that works well together with JIRA.
We were looking for a test management software that can be used together with our locally hosted JIRA system and for a specific project. We couldn't install a test management plugin and a local installation of a test management solution was either too expensive or to complex.
Spiratest Hosted Service offers the possibility to synchronize with a local JIRA via a desktop tool.
With the help of Inflectra support we got it running.
Avantages
- Have a complete test management solution for the time needed
- Working synchronisation with JIRA
- Easy-to-install desktop utility for synchronisation
- low setup and operating costs.
Inconvénients
- The synchronisation runs only with a desktop utility
- You cannot selectively synchronise JIRA-issues, e.g. certain issue types or issues from a defined start date.
- Usability. The user interface needs improvement.

Prefect Monitoring Solution for Testing
Avantages
The User Interface and Test Case structure is amazing. ST got folder structure so that users can setup the modules per folder per release. I can execute same test case for each release.
Inconvénients
The lack of branching and versioning of test cases. Need to improve in requirements for test steps. SpiraTest requires too many resources

Very affordable price
Easy to implement, no complex software / hardware pre-requisites, an average Windows user can manage to install

OK - but misses functionality in integration interface
neutral as per now.
Avantages
I have only checked out the integration with other systems - Jira on my part.
Nice setup for mapping the fields and parameters in integration with JIRA.
Inconvénients
I find the user interface very messy and 'undelicate'.
The main reason for us to consider SpiraTeam is to have one 'own' system for the QA team. Everything else is in Jira. However - the mapping from Jira to SpiraTeam misses requirements. The only thing that can be sync'ed are Incidents. And we are not happy to call a use case or feature enhancement in Jira an incident in SpiraTeam. I have logged this with support.

The product is evolving and getting more useful.
A tutorial for testers and for managers will be very useful. Specially for some of the testers, they need to get use to work with a testing software and it might be a big change in their work habit.
Avantages
The product has most of the features we need.
Quick, effective an friendly support.
Inconvénients
Missing printer friendly capability for graphics/histograms
Missing capability to export a graph/figure
The test report doesn't export to Excel the test steps, only tabular information.
After a refresh, the page comes back to the top, in stead of remembering the current scroll position

SpiraTest Review.
I'll keep this short as i don't think i need to write paragraphs.
This is a fantastic piece of software, it was easy to put in place on our own server, has run faultlessly since its initial setup and any problems we encountered were taken care of by Inflectra's support very quickly.
Avantages
allows multiple ways to setup tests to match different workflows.
provides a very good reporting overview to help clarify what is going on with testing.
Inconvénients
integration with bug tracking systems could be easier to get working and provide a better feature set, but this is not the end of the world as for what we want it works fine.

Great tool at a great price!
Really intuitive and easy to use.
Does everything we need it to:
- captures requirements
- allows us to plan and design tests (and map requirements to them)
- execute test runs and log incidents on the fly
- with the option of managing incidents separately too
- brilliant how related artefacts keep track of each other and the users can, at a glance, assess the overall progression of testing
- document collaboration
- really flexible and easy to customise from an Admin perspective as well
- LDAP and email notification functionality really useful
- huge array of useful add-ons
- absolutely inexpensive when compared to HP Quality Centre.

Good product, some cons
For a company how had no test management tool before this is a good step in the right direction with reasonable ROI. For an organization with methodology and reporting needs and large amount of users, this is not good
Avantages
Very easy to use - self explanatory
The basic dashboard and reports are ok
Easy to install
Good documentation
Inconvénients
Limited customization options
No documentation to reports customization
Poor response time when the DB starts to get loaded - the client performance is poor while the srever resources are hardely consumed.

It is pitched at a good price. Everybody at various levels of literacy/technicality can learn ot use iteasily and quickly and get on with it, therefore no need for expensive training or support. When support is required, response is quick, concise and clear. Excellent
Avantages
Fantastic tool - I hate complicated tools, there's no cleverness in that. A tool needs to be sensible and practical, SpiraTest definitely is. Can be used for different development methods. Its quite cool.
Inconvénients
There will always be a few but cant think of any right now.

hard sales pushing without regards towards user experience on trial signup. cannot cancel trial. cannot be removed from emails, which is illegal. this is a form of harassment which is unwelcome in the current technology climate. change your ways !!
Avantages
nothing about it interests me and i do not want your trial.
Inconvénients
forced signup. no way to cancel trial. no way to opt-out of emails, which is illegal in the U.S.

Excellent customer support.
Still early, but based on my experience with this tool and with Test Director, I believe that this tool would be the way to go. Especially from an ROI perspective. For a QA Test Management solution, it seems like it will be excellent.
Avantages
Excellent customer support. If you have a question, they answer it quickly and with complete straight forward answers.
Excellent cost. This makes it accessible to every company with QA and Test Management needs.
Pretty straight forward.

SpiraTest
In our company we began using SpiraTest to run our automated tests and also getting the test run results both for manual and automated tests. It's quite powerful. Short time ago I had some difficulties on integrating selenium webdriver tests to SpiraTest. I wrote emails directly to Inflectra and in a very short time they answered with some advices. It didn't work at first sight, so I wrote back and they replied quite quickly. Customer Service is great, they don't stop till giving you the right answer. I advise everybody to use SpiraTest.
