PTC Integrity Requirements Connector vs Polarion Requirements comparison

"Polarion Requirements is a really great product despite the limitations I mentioned and the price which is getting more and more expensive."

"The most beneficial features of Polarion Requirements for traceability include the traceability function and also the historical and matchmaking or cross-referencing, which was very good."

"Polarion Requirements' most valuable features are link tracing, book entry, and sequence training features."

"The biggest improvement would be in the transparency we have now. We have very complex products. We make whole systems with difficult and diverse areas such as hardware, software, mechanical and printing, etc. To get the overview of all the requirements into a system, at that sizing, is the main advantage we have in the organization now."

"A valuable feature from my side would be the comparison corporization."

"It is easier to produce documents using the platform."

"The solution is especially great for organizing folders effectively."

"We can easily customize it because of the web services and open APIs. Also, the APIs are available. We integrated Polarion with one of Siemens' products, Teamcenter, which is especially useful for automotive industries. There is an open API for integration with Jira as well, so for me, customization is a strong point."

"It is a stable solution...I rate the support a nine out of ten."

"One thing to consider is increased flexibility in terms of workflow configuration."

"The usability of the solution should also be improved."

"The user configuration had some issues; you need to know all the details, so it's not really friendly for those who are not IT savvy."

"The one thing I would mention is the license policy is a little bit difficult. For different roles, you will need different license models. That seems a little bit difficult for us. Especially when you introduce such a complex system, you want to know the right way is to do licensing. It's not clear what that best way would be. The solution will be here for a long time, and I just think it could be more clear."

"The risk assessment functionality needs improvement, like FMEA risk management."

"If we have more than one thousand work items in one live-book then it becomes almost unusable."

"It is not a stable solution, as we had issues with shared licenses."

"Its user interface could be more user friendly. In addition, a lot of features are missing for test management. It should have the test case ordering feature."

"The training material for PTC Integrity should be made a little bit easier or more useful for the user."

"I believe the cost is subjective. It seems a bit pricey, but it depends on your perspective. To provide some context, I compared the prices with GitLab and Jira. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Jira's prices. However, GitLab costs around 40 euros, and DeepLab, which I recently discovered, also falls in a similar price range. I'm not sure about DeepLab's features or interface improvements, as they might have been implementing requirements management over the past six months. In contrast, Polarion costs around 50 to 60 euros based on the 2021 prices I have. While it may seem a bit expensive, it's worth considering whether the additional investment, perhaps around 68 euros per user, is justified. It might appear costly at first glance, but it's essential to acknowledge that it can greatly streamline your work processes."

"Polarion Requirements is a little pricey."

"It is expensive but not for what it is. It is just the right price for what it is. Its price is also similar to other solutions."

"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The product's price is high."

"The pricing model is flexible. You don't have to pay for the full functionalities. And it's a one-time investment for the licenses. You purchase what you need and then can work with that."
