Polarion On-premise

Overall Satisfaction with Polarion ALM

We use Polarion ALM in the development of medical systems. Polarion ALM helps us to comply with our processes and supports us in meeting regulatory requirements. The ability to supplement Polarion ALM with our own validated extensions allows us to provide user-specific views of the development artifacts and perform the associated evaluations. Processes and checks can also be automated, which can contribute significantly to increased efficiency and error reduction. We also use Polarion ALM to support our customers in transferring various processes to an ALM system. Depending on requirements, Polarion ALM allows a wide range of configuration options, from very restrictive settings that always remain close to the specifications, to relaxed configurations that allow greater flexibility in favor of more efficient processing. This breadth makes it possible to adapt Polarion ALM to a wide variety of systems and thus enable their digital transformation.

In regulatory environments where compliance with regulatory requirements and processes is important, Polarion ALM can be a great help. A tool that can have such an impact naturally comes with a certain degree of complexity. It must therefore be considered whether the effort-benefit ratio of the tool is also worthwhile for very small projects.
