More Parasoft Development Testing Platform Cons →

"The ease-of-use could be improved a little.""We use PTC Windchill, and Polarion ALM doesn't have native integration, so we had to purchase the connector to integrate it with Polarion ALM. We still haven't implemented it.""The tool needs to improve its planning. It also needs to add more integrations.""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.""The configuration aspect of the solution is not easy. A person needs a lot of programming knowledge in order to successfully handle the job.""The planning and task management aspects of the solution were not that easy.""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 can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and a server-based application rather than client based."
