The most beneficial features of Polarion Requirements for traceability include the traceability function and also the historical and matchmaking or cross-referencing, which was very good. In terms of the technical capability, you are able to trace every single requirement across all the different documentations or versions, and then you are able to see when and who has changed these requirements. This gives good visibility of what was going on and who has actually made those changes.

The architecture is quite open, which means we can extend functionality and implement specific processes quite easily. That is the strong point of Polarion Requirements.

The real-time collaboration feature is built-in to Polarion Requirements. It is a web environment where all collaborators can collaborate in real-time on the same document or different documents. That is something we appreciate, but it is already built-in.

Customizable workflows and templates in Polarion Requirements are indeed useful for us. We have done a lot of work in that domain and it is working fine for us.

I find the reporting capabilities in Polarion Requirements quite nice, and for workflows, it is really excellent.

In my opinion, Polarion Requirements' most beneficial feature is the ability to manage specifications within a work-like document that functions as a work item. Its collaboration features have worked very well and have been very useful. We can easily exchange information with the testing team, the business, and with DevOps.

One of the important functions of tracking progress is the workflow process. Also, there's the planning aspect. With planning, we can manage requirements based on releases or versions and easily track them.

Another important function is Work Items. Electronic signatures are also valuable. Stakeholders can sign directly without hard copies, and you can always access approved versions. It's easy to see how many times something was approved and the entire history of changes to enterprise requirements for each version. 

It's easy to integrate with workflows and with other requirements tools, like IBM DOORS or Jira. We can exchange data between applications seamlessly.

We use REST APIs and open APIs, so it's easy to integrate modifications. Knowing how to use the APIs and web services is key. And recently, they introduced SaaS API. That means we can easily connect to the data and create custom setups based on our needs.

We can easily customize it because of the web services and open APIs. Also, the APIs are available. We integrated Polarion with one of Siemens' products, Teamcenter, which is especially useful for automotive industries. There is an open API for integration with Jira as well, so for me, customization is a strong point.

I would say there is value in how powerful, configurable, and user-friendly it is. A variety of file types can be managed and it is easy to report.

The most valuable feature from my side would be the comparison composition but it doesn't work every time. If you have a long document and depending on the requirements it can sometimes time out.

The tool as a whole is very valuable. It isn't just one or two features. The combination of requirement and test management is very good for us.
