Cons
"The interface for this solution needs to be made more user-friendly to provide a better user experience.""One of Polarion's shortcomings would be planning. It can handle plans, but the planning feature is very basic.""The tool needs to improve its planning. It also needs to add more integrations.""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.""Technical support needs some improvement.""The user interface is not yet optimized.""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 ease-of-use could be improved a little."
