3SL Cradle vs Polarion Requirements comparison

"3SL Cradle's most valuable feature is its flexibility in managing all your needs immediately."

"A valuable feature from my side would be the comparison corporization."

"It is easier to produce documents using the platform."

"I like the way this solution is structured."

"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."

"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."

"We worked with the web interface."

"I would say there is value in how powerful, configurable, and user-friendly it is."

"Its flexibility and APIs are the most valuable."

"3SL Cradle could be improved with better support for SysML functionalities."

"Polarion Requirement needs to have a feature where we can track changes and compare documents. Currently, we do it manually."

"Its user interface could be more user friendly. In addition, a lot of features are missing for test management. It should have the test case ordering feature."

"It is not a stable solution, as we had issues with shared licenses."

"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."

"It is stable enough but if you would like to work with more requirement objects, then you will get timeouts."

"One thing to consider is increased flexibility in terms of workflow configuration."

"If we have more than one thousand work items in one live-book then it becomes almost unusable."

"The risk assessment functionality needs improvement, like FMEA risk management."

"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"It is expensive but not for what it is. It is just the right price for what it is. Its price is also similar to other solutions."

"Polarion Requirements is a little pricey."

"I believe the cost is subjective. It seems a bit pricey, but it depends on your perspective. To provide some context, I compared the prices with GitLab and Jira. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Jira's prices. However, GitLab costs around 40 euros, and DeepLab, which I recently discovered, also falls in a similar price range. I'm not sure about DeepLab's features or interface improvements, as they might have been implementing requirements management over the past six months. In contrast, Polarion costs around 50 to 60 euros based on the 2021 prices I have. While it may seem a bit expensive, it's worth considering whether the additional investment, perhaps around 68 euros per user, is justified. It might appear costly at first glance, but it's essential to acknowledge that it can greatly streamline your work processes."

"The pricing model is flexible. You don't have to pay for the full functionalities. And it's a one-time investment for the licenses. You purchase what you need and then can work with that."

"The product's price is high."
