Polarion ALM Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Associate I Android Product Validation Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees3.5As a manual tester, I find Polarion ALM essential for build validation and bug management. Its user-friendly interface aids in tracking project involvement. However, it needs improvements in interface stability and speed, particularly during major updates and bulk data handling.
Digital Tranformation Expert for Lifecycle Management4.0I find Polarion ALM valuable for organizing configurations in medical and cyber-physical development, though its performance and scalability need improvement. It's less modern than web-based applications and lacks in collaboration features, with a complex setup and high cost.
Information and Communication technology at CNH Industrial4.5We use Polarion ALM for software development, focusing on requirements and test management. Its flexibility and effectiveness in tracking are valuable, but I recommend adding generative AI for improved requirement checking and model development. We use Azure DevOps for integration.
Head of Software Development at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.5I’ve used Polarion ALM for 16 years, primarily for requirements management, appreciating its flexibility, traceability, and collaboration features, though I find its Agile backlog and reporting capabilities could be improved compared to tools like Jira.
Vice President Operations and acting Head of Safety at HyperloopTT4.0I use Polarion ALM for managing complex development project requirements, providing effective change, configuration, and resource management. Despite its efficiency, the interface needs optimization, especially for importing documents. I previously used DOORS but chose Polarion for cost reasons.
Program Manager at Mettler-Toledo International Inc.4.0I use Polarion ALM to manage requirements in my industry. It is valuable for development-related tasks and planning, especially with Agile and DevOps. However, integration with other tools, particularly Azure DevOps, needs improvement for better functionality.
Field Application Engineer at FTD INFOCOM4.0I've primarily used Polarion ALM for importing requirements, customization, and integration. Its browser experience and traceability are highly valuable. However, integration is challenging and often requires paid connectors and significant effort with third-party software.
Global IT Director of Digital Platforms. Digital and Connected Commerce at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees3.5I use Polarion ALM for project management and documentation control. While its ALM functions are valuable, editing capabilities need improvement, especially trace matrices. Collaboration issues arise when multiple users edit the same document. The solution offers a high ROI and is deployed on AWS.
