Overall Satisfaction with Polarion ALM
Mainly we, at ReQonsult, rollout, configure, adapt and maintain Polarion ALM in R&D departments of other companies. So, we gained a lot of experience in all industries and all methodologies implemented in Polarion ALM. We found Polarion ALM a very powerful tool to implement processes, ensure good process guidance, a high grade of process automation and proper collaboration in R&D. Polarion ALM has an excellent stability, robustness and scalability. The long missing REST API is finally developed and providing a good feature set. In general Polarion ALM integrates good into existing toolchain. The main features like Requirements Engineering, QA and Planning are well developed and good adaptable to any process. It is easy to make Polarion ALM an integrated part of a company. With 3-4 days of training to configure the tool and additional 4 days of training for implementing complex reports, complex check and automations or even extensions, it is done. The online help deserves its name. Typical feedbacks we received from are customers are: It just works. It is very intuitive. We get new Requirements Engineers productive within a hour.

Polarion ALM has the best usability, extensibility and reactiv product management. The support is also very good compared to other companies. Or in other words it is closer to the customer. Codebeamer is for sure also a good ALM tool with a great feature set, but existing customers are often neglected. We will see, what PTC as the new owner of codebeamer will change at this point.
