We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure DevOps and Polarion ALM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use all the DevOps features and services, like reports, Boards, Pipelines, Artifactory, etc. The interface is interactive and intuitive. The platform visuals and workflow are straightforward in Azure DevOps."
"I definitely like the pipelines and the ease of management once you're in an enterprise."
"It's got something that you won't find in other products."
"Fields can be customized and the reporting is good."
"It is a cloud-based system. So, it is stable and scalable."
"Great project management feature and Git-based repository."
"The installation is straightforward. We can create a whole new organization in less than a day."
"We can track everything from the requirements stage to the production stage."
"It meets with everybody's needs without having to grab plugins."
"The features I find the most valuable are requirement tracking and schematics."
"Polarion ALM has some valuable tools for managing our targets and requirements. I think that's its best feature."
"It offers good performance."
"The tool helped us to more effectively and efficiently gather and structure the information (requirements, test plans, project management data, etc.), and share it with the involved stakeholders in a safe and change-controlled manner."
"Polarion ALM's integration is very good and easy to use."
"We had a nice experience with technical support."
"You can see the work ticket and you can circulate that within the teams. You can define your flows, customize according to your needs, and you can create dashboards and create the reports according to your needs."
"Compared to JIRA, I think Azure DevOps is missing some management elements, like some reporting features. It would be helpful if some things were clearer when we're adding attributes. For instance, sometimes we want to add some categories or attributes, and it's not so easy."
"Non-functional testing such as security testing, log testing, and performance testing can be improved with a better visualization."
"Azure DevOps could be improved with more security plugins, especially for SaaS scanning and vulnerability scans."
"Project management could be improved."
"I would like to automate notifications on sprint planning. When we are getting to the end of sprint planning, we would be automatically notified."
"More features can be included."
"There is only one key area of improvement for me. The new imaging thing is that there is DevOps, where security is important because it is always lasting. So, to integrate security in our DevOps, that would be nice."
"Improving the metrics that are readily available on the dashboard would be very helpful."
"One of Polarion's shortcomings would be planning. It can handle plans, but the planning feature is very basic."
"The tool needs to improve its planning. It also needs to add more integrations."
"Based on my understanding, the tool's integration capabilities with multiple tools is an area of concern that Polarion needs to focus on more."
"Technical support needs some improvement."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and a server-based application rather than client based."
"The solution needs to improve its user experience and graphics."
"The user interface is not yet optimized."
"As Polarion ALM is a development-oriented tool, easy support or easy access is provided by default, but if I want to use detailed features, I need to write the script, particularly the VM script, and this is its area for improvement. I want Polarion ALM to have a graphical user interface that doesn't need scripting. In the next release of the tool, I'd like for it to not require scripting and programming because needing to run script language is time-consuming."
