We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure DevOps and Polarion ALM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Suites solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the complete integration between test cases, pipelines, and issue management."
"DevOps is easy to use because we can arrange each task in a project and follow up with the testing, development, and business teams. We manage everything through this."
"I like the tracking and that we can monitor our velocity."
"It is easy to use. The shared repository is useful. Everything is in one environment."
"Before using this solution, we had to deploy our applications, from pre-production to production, manually."
"The initial setup process is easy."
"It is a really easy way to define all of the features that you need to deliver. You can link those features to epics and break them down into user stories. You can also assign the user stories into sprints for doing your product improvement planning."
"The reports have been most valuable. We have created some dashboards allowing us to be able to check our teams, their progress, and mission plans."
"Scalability is good...The integration is quite good."
"It offers good performance."
"It meets with everybody's needs without having to grab plugins."
"The tool helped us to more effectively and efficiently gather and structure the information (requirements, test plans, project management data, etc.), and share it with the involved stakeholders in a safe and change-controlled manner."
"Polarion ALM's integration is very good and easy to use."
"The technical support is quite good."
"The best feature of Polarion ALM to me is its traceability link."
"The most valuable feature is the function of the ALM system."
"I would like to see more customization available to the administrator."
"Improving the metrics that are readily available on the dashboard would be very helpful."
"Requirements management is an area that can be improved."
"I would like to see better integration and collaboration between tools."
"The optimization feature in Microsoft Azure DevOps needs improvement. Control over multiple projects could also be improved."
"Another area is the Azure monitoring agent for Citrix machines. There's room for improvement there too."
"As for improvement, the first one is pricing. For us, luckily because we are partners, it's free. Microsoft gold partners do not have to pay, but if you're not a partner, the product is very expensive."
"It should be able to handle the different types. There is ecosystems engineering, and there is software applications engineering. There is a need to bring these teams together, but the disciplines don't integrate very well, and so it won't work."
"Based on my understanding, the tool's integration capabilities with multiple tools is an area of concern that Polarion needs to focus on more."
"Technical support needs some improvement."
"The solution can be improved by making it more user-friendly, and a server-based application rather than client based."
"The solution's editing capabilities need improvement."
"As Polarion ALM is a development-oriented tool, easy support or easy access is provided by default, but if I want to use detailed features, I need to write the script, particularly the VM script, and this is its area for improvement. I want Polarion ALM to have a graphical user interface that doesn't need scripting. In the next release of the tool, I'd like for it to not require scripting and programming because needing to run script language is time-consuming."
"The user interface is not yet optimized."
"We use PTC Windchill, and Polarion ALM doesn't have native integration, so we had to purchase the connector to integrate it with Polarion ALM. We still haven't implemented it."
"The ease-of-use could be improved a little."
