We performed a comparison between OpenText Project and portfolio Management and Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It's a very detailed tool. As far as an enterprise is concerned, it gives you the flexibility to manage everything: portfolios, projects, finances, proposals, resources, and time... It takes care of even the minor details that need to be captured. The project management functionality is configured really well within the tool. That stands out."
"I like the ease of customization from an admin perspective. I'm really excited about some of the things that are coming in version 10.0.3 as far as what admins are able to do."
"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."
"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."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"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."
"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 Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"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."
"We constantly put in requests for some of the things we need. One of those is being able to export just our standard request type to PDF."
"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."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"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."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"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."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
