Pros
"3SL Cradle's most valuable feature is its flexibility in managing all your needs immediately."

More 3SL Cradle Pros →

"A valuable feature from my side would be the comparison corporization.""Its flexibility and APIs are the most valuable.""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.""I like the way this solution is structured.""I would say there is value in how powerful, configurable, and user-friendly it is.""The biggest improvement would be in the transparency we have now. We have very complex products. We make whole systems with difficult and diverse areas such as hardware, software, mechanical and printing, etc. To get the overview of all the requirements into a system, at that sizing, is the main advantage we have in the organization now.""My company mainly utilizes the product for documenting internal standards, guidelines, and requirements. Currently, we're focusing on using it for internal purposes, but the vision is to expand its usage to include contract requirements and tracking functionalities. While we're not there yet, it has proven effective for managing our internal documentation needs.""It is easier to produce documents using the platform."

Cons
"3SL Cradle could be improved with better support for SysML functionalities."

More 3SL Cradle Cons →

"It is stable enough but if you would like to work with more requirement objects, then you will get timeouts.""The risk assessment functionality needs improvement, like FMEA risk management.""The usability of the solution should also be improved.""One thing to consider is increased flexibility in terms of workflow configuration.""It is not a stable solution, as we had issues with shared licenses.""If we have more than one thousand work items in one live-book then it becomes almost unusable.""The one thing I would mention is the license policy is a little bit difficult. For different roles, you will need different license models. That seems a little bit difficult for us. Especially when you introduce such a complex system, you want to know the right way is to do licensing. It's not clear what that best way would be. The solution will be here for a long time, and I just think it could be more clear.""Polarion Requirement needs to have a feature where we can track changes and compare documents. Currently, we do it manually."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It is expensive but not for what it is. It is just the right price for what it is. Its price is also similar to other solutions."
  • "Polarion Requirements is a little pricey."
  • "The product's price is high."
  • "I believe the cost is subjective. It seems a bit pricey, but it depends on your perspective. To provide some context, I compared the prices with GitLab and Jira. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Jira's prices. However, GitLab costs around 40 euros, and DeepLab, which I recently discovered, also falls in a similar price range. I'm not sure about DeepLab's features or interface improvements, as they might have been implementing requirements management over the past six months. In contrast, Polarion costs around 50 to 60 euros based on the 2021 prices I have. While it may seem a bit expensive, it's worth considering whether the additional investment, perhaps around 68 euros per user, is justified. It might appear costly at first glance, but it's essential to acknowledge that it can greatly streamline your work processes."
  • "The pricing model is flexible. You don't have to pay for the full functionalities. And it's a one-time investment for the licenses. You purchase what you need and then can work with that."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
