"We are considering Bitrix24 as an office automation solution for our workplace productivity-related issues, project management activities, and staff tracking."
"I am impressed with the solution's ability to customize workflows."
"The CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now."
"Initially, Bitrix24 improved the way we operate because we were not previously using a CRM. Before Bitrix24, we tracked everything through Outlook. Now, we have a tool that will automatically put out reports for us."
"Offers, a free version."
"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its project management functionality...It is a pretty stable solution."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"Overall, they have a very strong workflow management capability. That's a very strong feature because then you can model any process easily. Whether it is a demand management process, a pipeline management process, or your project delivery methodology, it is much easier because of their workflow management capability."
"I like the automated calculations, especially on the resource side. When project managers enter their resource requirements into their staffing profiles, they are automatically translated into labor forecast calculations. PPM automates a significant portion of the forecast calculations. Timesheets are also built-in. We automatically process time sheets and bill them accordingly."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"Recent Program Management lifecycle, Program Management aggregation views due to interactive UI (selection of risks, issues, and changes in Program Overview) and “flash look & feel" of this functional chunk, which is different in comparison to other parts of HPE PPM."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"Our financial department does not use Bitrix24 because it's not good for the sort of work they do. So, once we create an invoice in Bitrix24, we sent it to the client and the financial department and they enter it separately into their system. This is not great for us since we can't track what happens after a sale."
"There are some bugs in the mobile system."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming."
"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."
"I would like to see improvements with Bitrix24's marketing automation."
"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."
"The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"Micro Focus PPM should be less dependent on coding. It could also benefit from some updates to the software architecture. These have been on the roadmap for years now, but they haven't been released."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"There are some limitations when it comes to attaching receipts. For example, if we are going to buy some non-labor-related assets such as hardware, we are not able to attach the receipts in the Financial Management module in version 9.41."
"Sometimes features in PPM don't work as expected, or our users request a new feature. Typically, our partner vendor can deploy those changes. But there have been a few instances when we had to raise it with Micro Focus because it's beyond the ability of our partner vendor. When we raise the issue with Micro Focus, it sometimes takes time because it needs support from other customers using PPM, not just our bank. It goes through a voting system. Other customers need to vote for the feature. The features that get the most votes will possibly be added."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"User interface continues to be poor. The product does not have a similar view in the different modules, e.g., staffing vs financial management, it looks like you are working with a different product and it is not easy to use or intuitive."
