Some tool suites look cheaper at first, but the hidden costs make it expensive in the end. This also applies to the operation of the application or, in the case of some manufacturers, I would have to speak of stitched applications. Regardless, with all tools it becomes …
Polarion ALM interface is much more user friendly, and the tool is completely web based. Thanks for the applications available in the marketplace it is easily possible to extend the application capabilities. Integration with most popular PLM, ALM or Service Management tools is …
In Polarion ALM, the concepts of work items/tasks and documents are inherently integrated. Jira typically uses Confluence to support documents. By using these two tools, for example, you encounter baseline problems that do not exist in Polarion ALM.
Polarion ALM have the traceability, both between the artifact but also the historical on who have done what when always available that is difficult for Jira, since Jira is more forward looking on what is left to do.
Polarion ALM is designed as a comprehensive Application Lifecycle Management solution, covering requirements management, test management, collaboration, and more in a single integrated platform. If your organization values a unified approach to managing the entire development …
We prefer Polarion because of its traceability. Working in documents is very important for many customers. We have the possibility to configure almost everything or extend it with our own solutions.
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 …
The QMS is well suited for standardizing the steps that go along with a process. The workflows and activity ownership makes it very easy to make sure that processes are completed according to the way the workflow is displayed. It becomes very simple to track down the stage at which a process is at. Processes are done in a linear orderly manner.
Polarion ALM shines where it is intended to be used: Application Lifecycle Management. It fits well with agile development concepts, but the extensive customization abilities allow it to adapt to other concepts, too. It is suitable as an all-in-one solution, which is capable of giving transparency over all related areas, be it Requirement Management, Test Management, Release Management, Defect Management, etc., to the involved stakeholders.
Requirement management in Polarion is extremely effective, with a simple but powerful authoring environment, simple approval process management, seamless traceability and advanced reuse capabilities
Test management capabilities allow to link together the requirements with the validation process, and let the user define, plan, execute and record tests across the whole development process
Day bay day management of development is easy to track, with out of the box support for agile methodologies, live planning reports and integration with Git, SVN and CI/CD tools.
There is too much at stake to go into a new system. But with everything else being promised as far as newer more innovative products, the justification to not renew is a huge risk so that is not a concern
There is always resistance to change, but users are finding Intellect QMS to exceed their expectations as we migrate from our legacy "island" Sharepoint-based processes. Training is actually easiest to do hands-on, and users can learn quickly and then help train others. Users appreciate the personal navigation dashboard and the familiarity of the interface from one application to another. The workflow-driven applications are intuitive and make the system easy to navigate for all levels of users, although the learning curves will vary. The "Design-Test-Live" approach facilitates the implementation of configuration changes suggested by users.
Polarion ALM can be used individually and what I do with Polarion ALM is decided by my configuration. Lesson-learned, operational risk management, product, system or software development or customer management .... doesn't matter at all. I decide with my configuration what I will do with Polarion ALM. Of course, you can also use Polarion ALM out-of-the-box for your development because it comes with a large set of project templates.For this reason, I would also recommend not to just get started. A suitable consultant will show you the right templates and customize them according to your needs. Having Polarion ALM is like having a car. You know exactly how to operate the car. You've done it a thousand times before. The details are in the configuration: did I have a navigation system installed or not? Do I have a lane departure warning system or not? Do I have cruise control or not? Unlike when buying a vehicle, almost all functions are already available and can be used, usually at no extra cost. However, if something is missing, it can be obtained via the manufacturer's extension portal. Individual extensions are subject to a charge. Polarion ALM - easy to deploy and easy to use.
We considered other "out of the box" platforms and decided to partner with Intellect QMS because of the ease of implementation and scalability. We went through a lot of demos and preferred the Intellect QMS user interface and responsiveness of the customer support team. The cost was competitive to launch and will allow us to add users and applications as we continue to grow. Many of the customer testimonials we reviewed pointed to Intellect QMS as the best fit for our organization.
Some tool suites look cheaper at first, but the hidden costs make it expensive in the end. This also applies to the operation of the application or, in the case of some manufacturers, I would have to speak of stitched applications. Regardless, with all tools it becomes critical at some point. We have found for ourselves that when safety and/or security come into play, things get tricky with most applications. Ultimately, it is and remains a matter of taste and the food should be based on the requirements and not on personal sensitivities. I hope everyone makes the right decision for themselves and the company.
Users appreciate the time and effort saved by having all of the QMS functions connected and in one place, without having to rely on emails, Sharepoint links multiple modes of communication to keep track of their activities and responsibilities.
The no-code platform means we don't need IT support to maintain and configure the applications. One administrator was able to get the system launched and effective in just several weeks, with ongoing training and customization as users and applications are added.
Our organization was recently certified to ISO 9001:2015. Intellect QMS helped us to navigate internal and audits confidently and effectively.
The traceability features in Polarion ALM help identify and address issues early in the development cycle
