"Visibility to where we are on projects. It tells someone where we are; if we're in trouble or not."
"We have a centralized view that we can have in our delivery and business organizations."
"Within the SaaS environment (since CA is supporting it), it has been extremely stable and reliable."
"The dynamism of the application where you can modify it to fit your needs is valuable. For example, you can create fields, metrics, and measures on the fly. You don't have to be limited to what the out-of-the-box format would be. It allows you to generate fields, metrics, and reports off of that with relative ease."
"Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent."
"You can identify resources by roles."
"The competency and available support are quite good, therefore we do not have any issues with support. Every time that we have a case where we need support, it is clarified right away."
"The key things are managing interactions, resource allocation, resource-leveling (enterprise) and as a collaborative tool, because we use it across multiple projects at a time."
"Technical support is very responsive - particularly on critical tickets."
"Capacity management and task baselining are the most valuable features of Microsoft Project Server."
"We are able to know what we are doing, how much we have spent, how much time we've taken, and it tells us how much money is left for the project. It also tells us whether we are below or above our expenditures, whether we are below or above our budget."
"The solution, overall, is excellent for project planning."
"The solution is stable."
"Technical support is good."
"A single place for all our organisation's project records."
"Support is top-notch whenever help is needed."
"We use a product called TFS and we would definitely like to see integration with that. It's not there right now. Agile Central is the one that is integrated with."
"We're looking at adding the Agile piece to it. I want to make sure that that integration is very smooth."
"Their online documentation is okay. It is not great. It is hard to get to some of the answers to the things that we may be running into, such as use cases that we are trying to fix. So, frequently we have to put in tickets."
"I want to see integration for SMS functionality."
"I think there's still a little bit of opportunity that we can do some stuff better in relation to the financial part of it; just that easier integration, that look and feel. Our project managers, and obviously finance people, love to interface and use of Excel. The more we can get CA PPM to behave in a similar way, which we're already starting to gain in that path, will be absolutely fantastic."
"In the future, I would like to see integrated Agile features and better integration with Agile tools."
"They won't let me put a button on the UI."
"they could improve the mobile app. I think right now it only offers time sheet. If they can integrate a lot of other components into it I think that would be helpful for the users."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The product is difficult to use for complex projects."
"Resource management has room for improvement because it uses a lot of resources."
"The product's UI is not very user-friendly."
"When a lot of users logged onto the site, it took a big toll on the service. Therefore, there is a scalability issue."
"When we started using this solution from scratch, we got lost. Microsoft should provide some templates for configurations for certain use cases."
"We think that calculations are not working correctly, and there is a need to enter data a couple of times in order to give the correct calculations."
"In terms of tech support, it took a long time for them to resolve a ticket."
"We use the desktop version of RationalPlan, and It seems some desktop software has the ability to share a document as a web view. This would be a nice feature allowing us to share our plans with clients without needing additional software. This may be something that is offered in the RationalPlan cloud plan."
