If you're considering using Planview Daptiv, I would recommend finding someone who is tech literate and has the ear of the executive staff. This person can help ensure that processes are in place and agreed upon before implementation. This will help avoid wasting time and resources if an executive changes their mind after the process has been set up.

If you have the ear of the executive staff from the beginning, you can engineer requirements that better suit your needs and pick the right tool for the job. This is a real-life example of how to approach the decision of which ERP system to purchase. Start by asking yourself, "What is our core business need for an ERP system?" If it's not everything, don't purchase Planview Daptiv. Instead, find a tool that specializes in that one thing. If you need a little bit of everything, then Planview Daptiv is a great choice.

I rate Planview Daptiv a seven out of ten.

The tool is versatile and can perform multiple tasks, which is positive. However, the trade-off is that it doesn't excel at any specific function, which is a negative. The tool was designed to be a jack-of-all-trades solution for companies that want to do a little bit of everything, as an alternative to purchasing multiple specialized tools that can add up to large costs. The tool, Planview Daptiv is charged as per the usage but might not be as efficient as specialized tools, such as Salesforce, Oracle SAP, and Microsoft.

My advice is: Do not be afraid to migrate to cloud solutions. Information is often safer in the cloud than in our own infrastructure. When you begin Daptiv PPM implementation, make sure that the consultant understands perfectly your requirements and the reports you need, in order to get a better implementation service rate and guarantee that the company methodology will be embedded in your environment.

I would rate Changepoint nine out of 10. The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features. To those thinking about adopting Changepoint, I would recommend getting all the in-house processes and policies in place before deploying a solution. Once processes and policies are clear internally and in alignment with what you want to achieve, then it's easier. Then making a change on the management side of things isn't dreadful for the organization.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with the product.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using. It's on the cloud, so it is probably the latest version of the solution.

I probably wouldn't advise someone else to go with Daptiv. I'd probably tell a company to go with a timekeeping app, or, if they're trying to do project tracking, there's probably a different SaaS project tracking app or solution that would be better.

Overall, I'd rate the solution four out of ten. There are other solutions that may be more suitable. This solution lacks a lot of UI and is overstuffed with too many features that daren't useful.

Get a firm grasp on the cost to implement, support, etc. since you will have to configure it yourself. Also, to have stellar service you will have to pay more. View full review »

I recommend it as a one-stop-shop for professional services.

It is important to have a Changepoint expert/consultant to assist with the initial setup. You need to know a lot of details about how fields function so you will know how to choose the configuration settings.

Like any other software package -- phase your implementation. Start small and build -- give the users time to fully adopt the features -- but have a set schedule (implement quickly with features rolled out every 60 days). Don't assume that the users can pick it up on their own -- train the users -- success depends not on them just knowing how to do something in the PPM -- you also might need to provide good project management training too.

You should check on ownership situation. CP was in the middle of spinning out of Compuware when we implemented it. Thus, there were many questions about the future, new direction, etc.
