Overall Satisfaction with Polarion ALM

Polarion ALM is used to manage requirements, reviews, and test cases for an aerospace project. There are many line replaceable units in the system so Polarion ALM is used to manage several projects and different levels of documentation and the linking and tracing between the two.
  • provide a means to management system and software requirements
  • provide linking and traceability between the two
  • allow for collaboration between users since it is web based
  • Thet text editing could be more advanced like Word
  • The different views like Table, Tree and Matrix and not very intuitive
  • The ability to use filters to search for items that meet certain criteria is a little clumsy and could be easier, especially if you want to run a filter against multiple documents
  • manages multiple documents well and saves time in navigation
  • allows multiple uses to view the same document and provide comments and feedback
figure out what you need it to do for your process and limit your use to that instead of trying to use things "just because it can do it"

It is good if you have a lot of users and need online collaboration and it can be customized for your specific company but it takes a lot of training for users to learn how to use it and there is a lot of room for errors. Sometimes it is used for too many things and it can get very confusing.
