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."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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"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."
"Trello is not as complex as most of the other products are."
"Projects do not take as long and meetings take less time, since you know the status of developments or tests."
"Trello's user interface is really good, making it easy for us to maintain and monitor."
"The product helps with the management of projects."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"It helped us to organize project information and assign tasks to team members properly."
"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
"You receive notifications if mentioned on a card."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"Many more categories could be enabled."
"Pricing can be improved."
"It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems."
"As a team board it did not work well for us."
"Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first."
"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."
"Sometimes, I find it challenging to manage the checklists."
"Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms."
