The ease of setup varies depending on the specific situation. For example, in our case, we had a clean slate to work with, so it was relatively simple to set up Planview Daptiv. However, in a more complex integration scenario, it could potentially be more difficult. As someone with a background in IT implementation, I found it easy to get started and learn the system on my own. It could be challenging for those without a similar background. On a positive note, Planview offers a great service, and their integration support specialists were very helpful in guiding us through the process. They made it a smooth experience for us, but it could be a more challenging process for those working on a non-greenfield setup.

There is a difference in bringing in 3,000 users instead of 300. The integration has more challenges with more users.

The entire implementation process, from beginning to end, took me five months to complete. This included a month dedicated to training, another month for beta testing within the company, and an additional month for support before fully implementing it in the organization.

I rate the initial setup of Planview Daptiv a four out of ten.

The initial setup was very easy, its a very intuitive tool.

The initial setup was straightforward. We did need a bit of training. I went to Amsterdam for that. Changepoint has quite a lot of material on their website as well, and there are videos on YouTube.  There are many partners who are willing to share use cases and experiences. 

Changepoint was in place when I arrived, though I have taken over System Administration and now perform all of these functions. It appears that the initial setup was probably pretty complex and I have altered some of the base settings as we have evolved the use of the product and the organization.

Straghtforward

I can't really speak to the initial setup. I don't know if it's complex or straightforward. I was hired as the company was finishing the implementation, so I missed the initial setup and full deployment.

Since it's a cloud solution, an SaaS, they tend to let us know when downtime will happen for maintenance. The solution handles the maintenance on their end.

The setup was complex. It took us around 18 months from start-to-finish.
