"I would like to see improvement in the metrics and the dependencies."
"Some of the queries, the way they're built, need to be looked at. We need better query tools."

"The weak point of Polarion ALM software is about reporting and time for extraction of the data...The quality of reporting needs to improve."
"Technical support needs some 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."
"One of Polarion's shortcomings would be planning. It can handle plans, but the planning feature is very basic."
