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."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."
"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."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"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 scalability has room for improvement."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
