Find out in this report how the two Application Requirements Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."3SL Cradle's most valuable feature is its flexibility in managing all your needs immediately."
"Polarion Requirements' most valuable features are link tracing, book entry, and sequence training features."
"In my opinion, Polarion Requirements' most beneficial feature is the ability to manage specifications within a work-like document that functions as a work item. Its collaboration features have worked very well and have been very useful. We can easily exchange information with the testing team, the business, and with DevOps."
"A valuable feature from my side would be the comparison corporization."
"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."
"I would say there is value in how powerful, configurable, and user-friendly it is."
"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."
"The solution is especially great for organizing folders effectively."
"My company mainly utilizes the product for documenting internal standards, guidelines, and requirements. Currently, we're focusing on using it for internal purposes, but the vision is to expand its usage to include contract requirements and tracking functionalities. While we're not there yet, it has proven effective for managing our internal documentation needs."
"3SL Cradle could be improved with better support for SysML functionalities."
"One thing to consider is increased flexibility in terms of workflow configuration."
"The risk assessment functionality needs improvement, like FMEA risk management."
"We encountered numerous challenges, such as issues with requirements, project management, timing, and planning. The main problem with Polarion at the outset, I believe, was our limited understanding of the planning phase. During that time, we were more focused on change management related to requirements. Recognizing the importance of planning has been a key realization for us. Another mistake we made was not comprehending the need to document these requirements to manage all the work items effectively. Now, we understand the significance of this documentation. As a result of these insights, we have started to see a growing number of competitors from Polarion in this field. One potential improvement could be enabling Polarion to export work items not just to Microsoft Office but also to other office tools."
"If we have more than one thousand work items in one live-book then it becomes almost unusable."
"The platform's review process for the documents could be better."
"It is not a stable solution, as we had issues with shared licenses."
"The usability of the solution should also be improved."
"Polarion Requirement needs to have a feature where we can track changes and compare documents. Currently, we do it manually."
