Has provided mature traceability and configuration features while supporting complex product development for mid-to-large companies

Polarion ALM can learn from Atlassian tools a lot, as the usability is not the best, and it is really narrowly focused on requirements management only. For example, if you want to do testing and test result management with it, it is very limited. Jama Connect has similar limitations, and both should really focus on developing the integrations and extendability. For example, Jama Connect does not even have an extension marketplace, whereas Polarion has a small one. However, compared to the Atlassian Marketplace where you can get whatever applications for whatever price, it is a totally different ballgame. I would highly recommend Polarion ALM add more AI features to it. I know they have started to do something, but for example, I have been developing widgets for IBM DOORS Next, AI widgets, so that you can write and analyze requirements with the AI, and I have also done the same for Jira, creating a couple of Jira applications in the marketplace as well.

Linking OKRs to financials has improved portfolio visibility and now drives faster agile delivery

Targetprocess offers several valuable features, including easy customization when required and ease of use for getting started, making it suitable for beginners. The reporting feature in Targetprocess provides a wide range of standard reports and has excellent ability to perform self-service reports for any needed scenario with slice and dice and filtering at all levels. Targetprocess is very easy to use. For beginners, screens and views are well-represented and easy to understand. Project portfolio management is easy, including budgeting, capacity planning, forecasting, and dashboards that are excellent. Targetprocess has positively impacted the organization, as visibility was a crucial deliverable. Agility health measures have increased by 30%. Feature cycle time, which is clearly measured across the ART, has improved by 50% over the past three years. The clearer and more effective measurable PI planning events are excellent, with the PI objectives achieved rate now at 80 to 90% versus 55% when starting. Measuring agility health and feature cycle time has been a fantastic part of the journey and growth, helping achieve high levels of maturity after years. Targetprocess was implemented early in the Agile journey and within six months, growth occurred with the tool, fundamentally assisting in configuring portfolios, understanding Agile ways and methodology, and allowing the creation of measures and reports much faster, fully integrated with Jira in a bi-directional way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is its browser experience. I rate its traceability feature a ten out of ten. From the initial stage to the release, you can manage everything through a single point."

"It's extremely flexible. Configuring items is straightforward and doesn't require involving the supplier each time. We find the requirement management, test management, documentation, and dashboards very effective."

"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."

"It is a very stable solution."

"The features I find the most valuable are requirement tracking and schematics."

"We had a nice experience with technical support."

"The solution offers good integration."

"Polarion ALM is excellent for tracking who is working on what and how many people are involved in a project."

More Polarion ALM pros

"Targetprocess has positively impacted our organization by reducing waste through maximizing integrations, allowing us to move away from manual rate management and tracking, enabling greater visibility to portfolio change management, and enabling us to become more data-driven."

"It is a very recommendable tool because it has had a significant positive impact on our organization, and the ability of Targetprocess to integrate with other tools has dramatically increased productivity by cutting down the time to market and project planning by half."

"Targetprocess has positively impacted the organization, as visibility was a crucial deliverable, agility health measures have increased by 30%, feature cycle time across the ART has improved by 50% over the past three years, and PI objectives achieved are now at 80 to 90% versus 55% when starting."

"I have seen a return on investment with Targetprocess, including improvement in cycle time from 97 to 45 days by understanding the bottlenecks and flow improvements through visualization and tracking functionality."

Cons

"The system’s technology is not the most current, leading to missing features that are common in web-based applications."

"The tool needs to improve its planning. It also needs to add more integrations."

"The weak point of Polarion ALM software is about reporting and time for extraction of the data...The quality of reporting needs to improve."

"I also recently suggested that CMS consider incorporating generative artificial intelligence into the system."

"One of Polarion's shortcomings would be planning. It can handle plans, but the planning feature is very basic."

"The planning and task management aspects of the solution were not that easy."

"The solution needs to improve its user experience and graphics."

"Polarion ALM can learn from Atlassian tools a lot, as the usability is not the best, and it is really narrowly focused on requirements management only."

More Polarion ALM cons

"One area for improvement in Targetprocess is that costing can become substantial when wanting to use it across all teams."

"I believe that Targetprocess can be improved in areas such as integration, user experience, and customer support, which is somewhat slow and should be improved."

"Dashboards with large data sets can cause performance lags or time-outs, and introducing more flexible, template-based RBAC configuration would be beneficial."

"One way Targetprocess can be improved is by making self-service in configuring new item types, workflows, and automation easier, as it currently requires us to pay a contractor to do these things, hence being a bit expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to pay around 50-60 euros per user."

"The license model is okay for large companies but would be quite expensive for smaller enterprises."

"It is an expensive product."

"If the pricing would come down and it was more affordable then we wouldn't have to switch."

"Our license for Polarion ALM is yearly. And it's not the cheapest tool that we've looked at. So if we had made our decision purely based on the licensing cost, we wouldn't have selected Polarion."

"The solution is expensive."

"Software for medical devices is always expensive."
