Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I appreciate the report that shows how utilized a person is set to be within the coming months. I use that feature a good bit."
"Being able to look at the data across team members, resources, projects and coming up with the algorithms and resources."
"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources. It has allowed us to hire, then realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done."
"The new UI makes it easier for people to go in there and know what to do. To train people, it's faster, more intuitive."
"Provides transparency through your investment portfolios at the top-level financial all the way down to the work that drives delivery."
"The ability to have all of the data in one place from risks and issues to resource capacity and actual utilization."
"Visibility is the number one feature. They can see where the bottlenecks are, they can see what their project statuses are, why are things being held up, etc."
"Visibility to where we are on projects. It tells someone where we are; if we're in trouble or not."
"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."
"A lot of of the value is around the project metrics so far but as I get more plugged into the strategic management, it's strategic planning and programs and then tying that into outcomes. I work with executive leadership and that's really what they're looking for, to say, "Okay, what outcomes do we want to achieve and how are we going to get there, plan that out, sequence that out, and then get the work to do that? And then track the work back to where we're headed with our outcomes.""
"Its ability to create summary reports across multiple projects is one of the best features. They have very good data warehousing. You can put that out. You can tell that data warehousing from Planview Enterprise One is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."
"Planview has helped connect funding and strategic outcomes with work execution. That is the key use that we have for it. We use it to validate the work that we're doing and the funding that we need. The difference between the previous version and current version for us would be the ICPM and the way it gives us different scenarios. We can go in and build that out."
"Our transparency is increasing a lot. It is helping us to get people together. There are no dark rooms anymore. In some areas or concepts, we want to add more light to every single concept. That's the big impact that the tool is having. It allows conversations between people."
"We use expenditures quite a bit. We put in forecast expenditures and then we actualize them below the line in the little box in the bottom tray. Being able to track the project with relevant milestones is also valuable. Milestones are valuable because it helps us to keep the project on track. The expenditures are valuable because we need to be able to understand expenses that are beyond the regular resources in the projects."
"It has helped improve governance, mostly. People want to know where their money's going. Projects sponsors need to know what we're spending money on and what our burn rate is. Planview can give that to you straightaway."
"We see it as overhead. Let us collect all the data in one place. Which, it is always nice to have everything in one place, but it does cause that overhead."
"When you are going to a more collaborative based approach, PPM does not support that."
"The architecture must be improved."
"Reporting is not good as they keep on changing reporting environment."
"Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft."
"In the community, I do not see a lot of answers. A lot of people asking lots of questions, but I am not seeing a lot of answers come through."
"I would really like a modern UI. I do not want to get on a user interface and feel like I am in the 1990's."
"Clarity PPM would be improved by developing better support for the Agile framework."
"There can be improvement on the sense of urgency because a lot of times we've exhausted everything that we can, and now, we're reaching out. So, it isn't a, "Well, have you tried to reboot this?" We've already done everything. Once we put in a ticket, there should be more of a sense of urgency on it."
"The resource area needs improvement. The improvements that have been made recently in the later versions have been good improvements, but I think there are some more improvements needed there."
"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."
"The content management definitely needs to improve. We don't really use content management for projects inside Enterprise One. We have actually switched to a SharePoint site. We have a feed from Enterprise One every night of all the projects that are created."
"It would be great to see Planview incorporate agile interfacing/methods in it. Like CA Clarity and other leading PPM tools – Planview should enhance or develop the interfaces to ingrate with other market leading Agile tools."
"The lack of templates harden the initial learning curve."
"The financial piece of the tool could be better. While it may have to do with the complexity of the work that we do, it seems that the tool should be able to drill down a bit deeper into the financial area."
"The solution needs to be better at accepting new ideas for upcoming releases."
