| Associate I Android Product Validation Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | As a manual tester, I find Polarion ALM essential for build validation and bug management. Its user-friendly interface aids in tracking project involvement. However, it needs improvements in interface stability and speed, particularly during major updates and bulk data handling. |
| Digital Tranformation Expert for Lifecycle Management | 4.0 | I find Polarion ALM valuable for organizing configurations in medical and cyber-physical development, though its performance and scalability need improvement. It's less modern than web-based applications and lacks in collaboration features, with a complex setup and high cost. |
| Information and Communication technology at CNH Industrial | 4.5 | We use Polarion ALM for software development, focusing on requirements and test management. Its flexibility and effectiveness in tracking are valuable, but I recommend adding generative AI for improved requirement checking and model development. We use Azure DevOps for integration. |
| Head of Software Development at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | I’ve used Polarion ALM for 16 years, primarily for requirements management, appreciating its flexibility, traceability, and collaboration features, though I find its Agile backlog and reporting capabilities could be improved compared to tools like Jira. |
| Co Founder at CieDIWEB | 3.5 | I use Polarion ALM in my company for the software testing lifecycle, primarily for test management and dashboard creation. Its greatest strength is its robust control compared to Jira, though the dashboard's complexity needs improvement. Our CTO chose Polarion over Jira. |
| Vice President Operations and acting Head of Safety at HyperloopTT | 4.0 | I use Polarion ALM for managing complex development project requirements, providing effective change, configuration, and resource management. Despite its efficiency, the interface needs optimization, especially for importing documents. I previously used DOORS but chose Polarion for cost reasons. |
| Program Manager at Mettler-Toledo International Inc. | 4.0 | I use Polarion ALM to manage requirements in my industry. It is valuable for development-related tasks and planning, especially with Agile and DevOps. However, integration with other tools, particularly Azure DevOps, needs improvement for better functionality. |
| Field Application Engineer at FTD INFOCOM | 4.0 | I've primarily used Polarion ALM for importing requirements, customization, and integration. Its browser experience and traceability are highly valuable. However, integration is challenging and often requires paid connectors and significant effort with third-party software. |
