Feature comparison
Reqlume vs Siemens Polarion — side by side.
Why teams leave Siemens Polarion
Common pain points we hear from engineers who've made the switch.
Requires Siemens infrastructure
Polarion is an on-premise or Siemens-hosted ALM platform. Deploying and maintaining the stack requires dedicated DevOps resources and vendor contracts most teams can't justify.
Lock-in with proprietary format
Polarion's native format makes migration painful. Reqlume reads Polarion CSV and Excel exports natively — so you can migrate your full traceability history without data loss.
Complex per-project licensing
Polarion licenses are scoped per-project and per-module, creating unpredictable costs as your portfolio grows. Reqlume charges a flat per-seat rate with unlimited projects.
