Pros
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."

More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Pros →

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution.""The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI.""It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models.""There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable.""Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else.""We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."

More Planisware Pros →

"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality.""We can easily write down the tasks and reorganize them as well as have a progression index. Wrike offers several views including a kanban view and Gantt chart view.""Visibility and organization are the most valuable features of Wrike.""In our company, we heavily rely on Wrike. Wrike has helped in communication, managing all sorts of projects and tasks, and having a history of all our correspondence items.""We utilize time tracking and reports most often.""It's a very easy-to-use and flexible tool. We can easily write and create queues for different themes. It's very user-friendly.""The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds.""This is a good tool for project progress tracking and sharing tasks with internal and external parties."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution.""Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations.""The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool.""More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration.""They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning.""The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."

More Planisware Cons →

"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different. We are seeking something more for the dashboard. We would like a high-level dashboard that can be broken down into individual product roll-ups and tasks that are assigned. If you assign someone to a task, it assigns them all of the tasks under that. We want to be able to break those down so that a person doesn't have an 800 task list, for example. We want more separation with that and a higher-level dashboard experience.""Wrike needs to be more responsive to community requests for new features.""What annoys me with Wrike and things that I would like to improve is that you need to have a very organized workflow that everyone in the company follows, and only then will Wrike work.""The response from the website is a little bit slow, and the tool is too expensive for a small team.""We faced an issue with the Wrike outlook add-on; it is only available for Microsoft Office 365, and not the on-premise version.""This solution could be improved if we were able to better analyze how the application consumes cloud resources as this can cause a delay in performance.""It would be great if they could develop more reporting.""The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."
