What differentiates Polarion ALM from other similar products?

When we worked on a locomotive project, we were responsible for managing the requirements, reviews, and test cases. In order to handle several projects and various documentation levels, Polarion ALM is utilized to link them and trace back to each other. Management systems and software requirements may be managed with this tool, Additionally, it helps link and track the two entities. Since it is web-based, it also allows for user-to-user cooperation.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Because of its flexibility and ability to be tailored to your unique business, it is ideal for large organizations with numerous users that require online collaboration. However, users must undergo extensive training before they can begin using the system, and mistakes are common.. When it is utilized for an excessive number of purposes, it may make things exceedingly difficult to understand.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Text editing in that program may be more sophisticated, similar to what you'd find in Word. Views like Table, Tree, and Matrix aren't all that easy to figure out. Finding items that fit specific criteria using filters is cumbersome and should be made simpler. This is particularly true when filtering numerous documents at once.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is possible to handle requirements using it, however the process of sifting through several papers is not particularly user-friendly. You are able to link high-level and low-level needs; but, I have not seen a solution that does this as rapidly and effectively as the link by attribute approach that doors provides.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Unique Features
Appreciates Incumbent Status
Security Protects

Re using process is much more easy Uploading the documents and files can be done. We can export our file's and TC's as well We can lock our Test cases and Results as well, which is a good one. So that our data is safe and secured

What do you dislike most about this product?

sometimes the format from MS office product is not properly pasted on the the web page in Polarion. I had to retype those contetns to avoid inconvenience. Performance. Slow page loading.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is well suited in just about any large scaled environment. For the cost to benefit ratio, it works perfect for large scaled systems. With standard traceability matrix view and enhanced task management, it's a behemoth of a software and welcomed one.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Reliable
