Pros
"We had a nice experience with technical support.""The tool helped us to more effectively and efficiently gather and structure the information (requirements, test plans, project management data, etc.), and share it with the involved stakeholders in a safe and change-controlled manner.""Polarion ALM's integration is very good and easy to use.""The initial setup of this solution was straightforward, and there were not too many problems with it.""The technical support is quite good.""The most valuable feature is the function of the ALM system.""Polarion ALM has some valuable tools for managing our targets and requirements. I think that's its best feature.""You can see the work ticket and you can circulate that within the teams. You can define your flows, customize according to your needs, and you can create dashboards and create the reports according to your needs."

"I have found that previously, the OEM sector was managing everything, possibly manually. However, with the introduction of the product, it has become much easier for customers to handle their products. Previously, customers were using different software to manage their products. However, PTC Integrity offers a solution for requirements management, test management, and even development to support live ticket management. So instead of using multiple software tools, we can use it for all these purposes.""We have been using it because it gives certain abilities in the automotive industry, such as auditing or keeping track of information.""I personally like PTC Integrity because it provides everything within the software. You can store and access your data and perform various tasks. Compared to other products, I find it user-friendly, which can sometimes feel complex. I think PTC Integrity is user-friendly, making it nice to use. The tool is easier to learn.""The most valuable feature is traceability starting from the requirements until the end of a project.""Complete traceability as per process requirements.""We found the requirement management and the version control features to be the most useful for our client.""It's a good tool to manage software versions, update the status, and manage tasks.""PTC Integrity has good stability."

Cons
"The solution's editing capabilities need improvement.""Test management lacks an automated process.""The user interface is not yet optimized.""The interface for this solution needs to be made more user-friendly to provide a better user experience.""The weak point of Polarion ALM software is about reporting and time for extraction of the data...The quality of reporting needs to improve.""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 ease-of-use could be improved a little.""Based on my understanding, the tool's integration capabilities with multiple tools is an area of concern that Polarion needs to focus on more."

"For complex businesses, the internal templates could have more flexibility and compatibility.""The tool's web-based UI needs improvement. Some functionalities don't work yet, and querying items is slow. Also, it's not in the cloud yet. I don't know if they'll do it in the future because they already have core agreements with customers. If they offer these functionalities, customers will likely buy their product.""It's not easy to plan on this solution and it's not user-friendly. The interface should be more like a web interface. It's not easy to use.""From my experience over the years, I believe there might be room for improvement in PTC Integrity. While it's already a good product, it tends to be slower than other software. When it becomes bulky, it slows down even more, sometimes leading to crashes or hangs that require restarting the computer before being able to use PTC Integrity again. This has been my experience multiple times.""It's not so customizable. Compared to other tools, defining user stories is a slightly more cumbersome process as an ALM engineer.""The web version does not have all the functionalities of the non-web version. Administration and adding/removing fields, etc. cannot be done on the web version. People want solutions that are compatible with Android. I also want to have a version by which I can bulk edit all the fields.""There are not enough reports. People would like to see something similar to what is available in JIRA.""To be honest, the third controller system is kind of old. There are lots of transactional changes that have not been implemented in PTC. If you have a larger project, for example, whenever you give bits and need to change 10,000 files you can just commit them. But here the work style is a little more file based, so you'll have to take care of almost all the files individually. It's not a single commit like you do here, but rather you have to allocate time for each component or file that you want to check in or commit. That's a very big issue."

  • "You have to pay around 50-60 euros per user."
