"JIRA Portfolio has many wonderful features."
"The most valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the ease of use, many developers are familiar with it."
"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"I use it to plan and schedule the things I take care of. I can create and share a document if I want to discuss new ideas with my team remotely."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"The data provided by PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"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."
"It is very important that the platform gives us a single place where we can measure progress toward goals, as we have weekly meetings with the CTO. We present these consolidated overviews and dashboards to him so that he has an overview of all the projects and can see the status of all the problems that we have and we are working on."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"JIRA and Confluence must be linked automatically."
"The workflow needs improvement."
"Our major team does not control or manage JIRA server well since sometimes there is trouble using the solution, which is a problem. The solution's speed needs to be improved."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"I think the solution can improve in graphs and the analysis part."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions. The UI is not good."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"We had a couple of issues with stability or performance degradation about a year ago, around the time of the initial rollout. Since then, we've only had two unexpected outages that were quickly resolved."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
