I worked with a customer to use Polarion. My experience is about the feedback and the output of the tool. It worked, but it wasn't the best one I have evaluated.

Speaking from my experience, I get the feedback of the user, and I get told about the document to be provided in the technical documentation. It's mostly about the report or the reporting. It's also about how to extract the quality data from a huge management report saying that all the software requirements were correctly evaluated from case management. This evaluation is correctly re-evaluated with software for the VnV process. So all of these reports and with software like Polarion, one must be able to get all of these reports with just a click, which is somehow not the case with Polarion, especially with the experience I had. There is a lot of work to be done to complete the documentation needed.

The features of the solution are most valuable when it comes to its use in our company's development-related area.

Based on the requirements of my company, I can say that the tool helps collect information from different people with the help of a component in the tool known as epics. The tool offers our company the capabilities and features for use cases. The tool mainly helps our company in the area of planning, especially on the agile side we work on presently, which we recently integrated with DevOps. The planning phase is worked out based on the aforementioned details.

The most valuable feature is the function of the ALM system.

We're generally happy with the solution. 

It is stable and reliable. It offers good performance.

The pricing is fine. 

Polarion ALM has some valuable tools for managing our targets and requirements. I think that's its best feature. All the other features are helpful, but a lot of them don't work out of the box. In terms of planning and management, they need some work. 

The features I find the most valuable are requirement tracking and schematics. 

Polarion ALM's integration is very good and easy to use. 

The best feature of Polarion ALM to me is its traceability link.

I am impressed with the solution’s stability.

It's all in one place, where every department can utilize the same tool. It meets with everybody's needs without having to grab plugins. For example, Jira is nothing but a bunch of plugins.

What is most valuable is that this is an all-inclusive tool.

I like that there is, more or less, a single solution for everything. In regards to Polarion, if you're not experienced, it can be quite complicated, so you may need weeks or even months to familiarize yourself with the tools and how it operates. Once you understand how it works it becomes a very useful tool; we mainly use it for requirements engineering, so for us, the traceability is a really important feature. I also like all of the possibilities for different reports and the option to have a "what you see is what you get" editor for all documents and especially, for the release of documents. 

The amount of document control, combined with review and release probabilities and signatures is really useful. For example, Confluence does not have these capabilities. You would have to install Comala, with its plug-in that is used for document control, and even then, it would not be comparable. Polarion's document control is one of the best that I have used. In terms of development itself, having the work items and requirements altogether in one place and being able to control them by Staples, is really helpful.

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. The version is not a distributed version of those systems. I think after requiring the kit by Microsoft most of the parties who are already using different ALM tools, they are moving towards Azure DevOps. Microsoft should be dedicated to moving the teams, creating new features, and making the Azure DevOps most straight-form independent. I have been using Siemens Polarion for three years but I haven't found out a way that you can use it in your own methodology for content management systems. If you were to say that everything is integrated and it's a complete solution, I would say it's not.

The product is pretty stable.

The technical support is quite good.

The initial setup is fairly straightforward.

The solution offers good integration.
