I like that it ties everything together and if you have things set up correctly, you get great trace-ability. It is VERY powerful, and flexible.
Lack of HTML support in emails sent by Helix ALM. It still doesn't support inline images.
Easy to fit the processes to our needs. It is realy a good thing, that this software is so easy to fit also to smal process and deep, and complex processes.
In issue window it's hard to see some details as they are hidden in various tabs.
The most important thing is Filters and our company using it as much as possible. Also, we are very happy about Requirements section.
I use this for test case development and defect tracking.
Shelving files is a great feature for users because they are saved onto the server and if the developers system crashes or the developer left the company, other users can retrieve them.
The text editor is still functional, but it's fallen below the minimum expectations for a text editor in this day and age.
As we had no requirement management tool for the moment, it was important to have a good word importer too. And, compared to the other products we tested, Polarion's one is the best I experienced.
There is no such thing in Polarion organization by 'Folders' or 'Tree', everything is done by searching and it is enough not to give the right name or it was forgotten, you will easy get lost.
Compared to other tools Polarion is easy to use and has a brilliant core idea. All functionality is based on the same or on a similar usability.
Some lack of the documentation to make extensions or connections with other solutions.
But also as a standalone product with standard configuration you have a tool with a super solid versioning concept.
It has an older and confusing design. It is quite complex, so in some cases it is difficult to understand how it works.
Also Polarion is super stable. The underlaying SVN-Repository and its datastructure is still backwards compatible with very old versions.
Delays, control of the developers, defects, versions, costs, documents, all in one single solution. Also I can provide access to my customers to let them see the status of their development.
