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."The most valuable feature is the complete integration between test cases, pipelines, and issue management."
"The solution is good for everything, including end-to-end planning and its deployment and testing."
"It's a pretty problem-free solution."
"The automated bill feature is most valuable. As with most software developers, I can build code on my machine, but if one of my coworkers can't build the same code on theirs, there are always issues in trying to track it down. The automated bill process makes it a lot easier to track down where the issues are and find out what bugs aren't being included for whatever reason."
"Azure Port is considered the most valuable feature."
"I definitely like the pipelines and the ease of management once you're in an enterprise."
"It is good for monitoring purposes. We are using the build pipelines of Microsoft Azure. They are also valuable."
"The integration of the whole cycle is the main strength of the tool. If I want to control the cycle with other tools on the market, I would have to use several tools. However, this is not the case with Azure DevOps or TFS."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The best feature of Polarion ALM to me is its traceability link."
"Polarion ALM has some valuable tools for managing our targets and requirements. I think that's its best feature."
"I am impressed with the solution’s stability."
"It meets with everybody's needs without having to grab plugins."
"The features I find the most valuable are requirement tracking and schematics."
"We had a nice experience with technical support."
"Polarion ALM helps us better structure our customer requirements, and we can also validate the specs of our products against those. If anything changes on our side, we see the impact, and we can see the effect If a customer changes requirements."
"There is room for improvement on the UI side, especially with merge requests. If we compare Azure DevOps to GitLab when it comes to branches and PRs (pull requests), GitLab has a better interface."
"The user management in the solution could improve."
"The solution can be improved by having better integration with other cloud platforms."
"The dashboards need bigger with better extensions and layouts. There isn't a workflow related to the statuses on the dashboard. It only lists the statuses. You can have one started, and once done, but everything in between is only in progress and could be in any order you want, it lacks flow."
"At times, our development work encounters issues, particularly when executing numerous CI/CD processes."
"I would like to see better integration and collaboration between tools."
"Better integration with the Linux operating system would be an improvement for this solution."
"Proper Gantt charting should be a feature that is included because as it is now, we have to create it ourselves."
"The planning and task management aspects of the solution were not that easy."
"Test management lacks an automated process."
"Based on my understanding, the tool's integration capabilities with multiple tools is an area of concern that Polarion needs to focus on more."
"The solution's editing capabilities need improvement."
"The most important thing for them to improve should be platform-independent features. They should also provide extensive pipelines and release pipelines that we can define and we can work on."
"Technical support needs some improvement."
"The weak point of Polarion ALM software is about reporting and time for extraction of the data...The quality of reporting needs to improve."
"The solution needs to improve its user experience and graphics."
