Overall Satisfaction with Polarion ALM
We are using Polarion as an enabler for our R&D process development. It has proven to be an unbeatable solution for solving our customers' business problems. Thanks to its configurability, the use cases for Polarion are virtually unlimited. It is rare for us to tell our customers that we cannot achieve something.
We utilize Polarion for all our information management needs and leverage it as the platform for developing systems for our customers. These uses are primarily within R&D, but we have also successfully implemented Quality Management Systems (ISO27001) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems using Polarion.
While Polarion may not be the cutting-edge tool for every application, its versatility often makes it the most productive choice. Its familiarity among users and its efficient integration with other processes are invaluable benefits.
Having worked with Polarion for over a decade, we have gained deep expertise in its functionality. Although Polarion is marketed primarily as an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tool with a focus on software, our clients are mainly developing hardware or both HW & SW.
Siemens has recently been enhancing features to improve usability and productivity, enhancements that our customers have warmly received.
