How compatible is this software in integrating it with non micro focus applications?

ALM actually integrates with quite some non Micro Focus tools, without additional charge. Below are some examples, though not a complete list: ALM Synchronizer provides Requirement and Defect synchronization between ALM and the following • Atlassian JIRA • IBM Rational ClearQuest (Defects) • IBM Rational RequisitePro (Requirements) • IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) • Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) - includes both TFS on-premise and TFS in the cloud (certified Visual Studio Team Services). ALM integrates with the following via Micro Focus Connect: • VersionOne • ServiceNow • Atlassian JIRA • CA Agile Central • Azure DevOps. ALI enables integrations with Build servers, SCMs, IDEs: SCM – Git, Subversion, CVS, Perforce, TFS; Build Server - Jenkins, TFS, Hudson; Unit Testing – Junit, TestNG, NUnit, Visual Studio Managed Unit Testing Framework; Code Coverage Analysis – Cobertura, NCover, Visual Studio 2012, 2013 Code Coverage; Force.com integration; IDE - Eclipse, Visual Studio, IntelliJ IDEA; IBM Rational Clearcase. Integrating External Tests: Automation tests executed by Jenkins or other testing frameworks will be integrated into ALM along with the latest test runs - this brings integration with a variety of 3rd party testing tools.

This app originally named as Test director was developed by Mercury over 15 years ago. Then the it was renamed to Quality center and new owner became HP...there were more versions (and license prices of course) of Quality Center and the ALM version (in that time called HP ALM) included the most of the features. Recently the ALM was bought by Micro Focus. So the ALM is still the top and has many non Micro Focus integrations. Example of integrations - JIRA, TFS, Eclipse, Visual Studio, MS Excell and Word add ins, perhaps also with SOAP UI and many others I'm not even aware of. I worked as a solution consultant for this app until 2015...now I use ALM ocasionaly as Test MGMT tool. Hopefuly it helps.
