Pros
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature."

More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Pros →

"The overall interface is very easy to use. It puts together strategy and execution across all your investments.""The biggest impact has been getting all these global groups into one space so we can even have intelligent conversations about what are we trying to accomplish. Before, it was just different regions doing whatever. Now, we're all talking the same language, and that's good.""The resource management and assignment features are valuable. The timesheet management is also valuable because that is a requirement for us. So, the ability to see timesheet forecasting and timesheet actual submission from resources has been very useful and valuable to us.""It gives us the vast ability to churn out-of-the-box reports and have an overview about approach rates and resource utilization.""It maps back to our SDLC process pretty well. I'm able to see the stage of where things are at. We also use Azure DevOps for all of our requirements and our coding.""The solution view into resource capacity and availability helps us to manage work.""We can easily see which functions are overcapacity. Before, we did not have visibility into that.""I like that it's an enterprise environment. I can look across everything that's going on and have a sense of what is going on within the organization."

Cons
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."

More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Cons →

"We do have some significant issues with our integrations that we're working through. Those are not as stable or reliable as what we would like.""Some of the out-of-the-box reporting is not immediately useful and although it can be configured or customized, there are still improvements that can be made.""Configuring the UI in the content management system is too elaborate and too time-consuming.""The solution needs to be better at accepting new ideas for upcoming releases.""When you think of planning at a PI level, roadmap planning, or release planning, I think they should make a little more headway into how agile delivery works, tying it back into the financials and the planning to Planview. I think it would be good.""The technical people are very competent, but there is so much turnover in the people that we talk to, and that's frustrating. They will say, "We can make this work." Suddenly, that guy has left, and we have no one. Then, we have to start all over.""While Planview Management provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities, further enhancements could include more advanced data visualization options, predictive analytics features, and customizable dashboards to provide deeper insights into project performance and trends.""We are not very happy with the customer service. This is one of our main pain points. It doesn't cover the entirety of customer service, as there are reps who are really great and we've had good experiences. Many times, we've had people give us attitude, there was a delay in the response, or just a lack of interest. This got to the point where if there was a problem, we would rather try to solve it ourselves then call customer support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is expensive. There is a yearly licensing cost. There are no additional costs, only the standard license, and the cloud license."
  • More Alfabet IT Planning & Portfolio Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing part is a bit costly in comparison with the other available PPM tools."
  • "We are on the Flex licenses."
  • "We have unlimited licenses for all of our functionalities. Since we went global, we went with that model."
  • "The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."
  • "We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."
  • "I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."
  • "We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."
  • "We overbought our licenses. We looked at our needs three to four years down the road and tried based our contract on that. However, we were over aggressive. We use about a third of the licenses that we have. We're looking to adjust the makeup so we can start utilizing the amount of money that we are spending. Right now, we're overspending, and my organization is not seeing the value in Planview because we are paying so much for licenses that we're not using."
