We performed a comparison between OpenText Project and portfolio Management and Trello 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."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."
"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."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"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."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"Trello's most valuable feature is its visuals. You can customize your board with covers and pictures. There are no restrictions in workflow columns as in Jira. It is a powerful solution to organize work. Jira is process-oriented and restrictive."
"What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done."
"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
"Trello's user interface is really good, making it easy for us to maintain and monitor."
"Our teams deployed Trello to gain a comprehensive overview of pre-sales activity, monitor project progress, create detailed task lists, and track action items - all critical components for streamlining our organization's operations."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Kanban is the best feature of the tool."
"I like Trello's speed. It is more user-friendly compared to Jira. Jira is technical, whereas the management can use Trello."
"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."
"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."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"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."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"I would appreciate seeing how much time spend on each specific ticket."
"Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS."
"The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."
"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."
"In terms of improvements, adding more artificial intelligence and making it more user-friendly in terms of design could be beneficial."
"Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms."
"Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline."
"It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems."
