We performed a comparison between monday.com and Planview Portfolios 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."We really like the dashboards, automation, and spreadsheets."
"The automations absolutely were the most valuable because they helped us create a system within Monday.com for all of our data."
"There are many templates to choose from when you are creating your first board."
"I like the update feature. It's almost like you can replace email with it. You can communicate on a particular item within monday.com, and then you can see the history of who commented, when they commented, what they said, and the reply to what they said. It's much easier to follow up on a particular item than have a thousand emails going back and forth. In a big project, you can usually have a ton of emails. If you use monday.com as a communication tool, you can almost eliminate email and have better tracking on what was done, when it was done, and what was said about the items. That's probably my favorite feature."
"The solution just makes it so much easier to keep track of where things are."
"We can remove, add, and modify a project or task charter easily."
"It has helped us to divide work by assigning tasks and forecasting how busy we will be in the future."
"The subitems make it crystal clear what tasks are done, in progress, or complete."
"The sheer amount of information available in one single interface is valuable. Everything is there. It is also a lot of work to maintain all the information, but generally, you can find everything you need within this one tool."
"We do a lot of big projects which are pretty expensive to structure the product development around and see the progress. Every time we start a project, we have to expense the spends for certain amounts. We need some baselines, like predictive versus actual."
"It gives us the vast ability to churn out-of-the-box reports and have an overview about approach rates and resource utilization."
"We're still in an early stage. Things will change as we use it more. I did program reports that are important and that will provide us with value."
"I like that it's an enterprise environment. I can look across everything that's going on and have a sense of what is going on within the organization."
"I would say it works really well for forecasting remaining effort, especially in terms of forecasting the dollar amounts. We've gotten pretty good at adjusting rates because we have a lot of contract workers."
"We provided whatever feedback we had to the Planview team, and they went in and built those additional features that we requested. For example, they created a great way for our users to search for a specific resource, project, program, or role. We were not using some of the features, and we wanted them to not be visible, and they helped us with that. They also brought a feature to provide visibility into when a resource was never assigned to any task. There was no visibility to this before. This feature was really very good for visibility into the resource portfolio."
"In my opinion, the financial planning feature is the most valuable feature of Planview Enterprise One."
"The calendar selection for dates is not the easiest to navigate."
"My Work cannot be connected to specific line items in boards or subtasks, and therefore it is currently causing a gap in communication with our team."
"A part that could be improved is notifications, as we receive quite a lot of them. We struggled to limit the number of emails that we were not part of... If we could mute emails for projects that we are only following but not necessarily working directly on, that would make a huge difference."
"It would be nice to have a general section at the top of each group."
"It would be good if we could have the option to choose custom colors for the status fields and groups so we can make some boards more branded."
"It would be great to be able to pull an activity report."
"The stability could be improved."
"There should be on-screen PC/Mac notifications when the website/service is not open on the screen."
"When you think of planning at a PI level, roadmap planning, or release planning, I think they should make a little more headway into how agile delivery works, tying it back into the financials and the planning to Planview. I think it would be good."
"The solution out-of-the-box that we established was insufficient. We had to purchase and set up OData. I don't believe that it's a great solution out-of-the-box but eventually you can get there."
"Its reporting needs to be improved. My main complaint when it comes to Planview is that it is good to maintain all the data but to actually use the information that is in it, you actually have to use a different tool. We use Power BI. So, we pull all the information, and then we use a Power BI dashboard to stage or look at the information."
"The technical people are very competent, but there is so much turnover in the people that we talk to, and that's frustrating. They will say, "We can make this work." Suddenly, that guy has left, and we have no one. Then, we have to start all over."
"It could do with a quicker response time for some reports or portfolios."
"Configuring the UI in the content management system is too elaborate and too time-consuming."
"We've been using it for a while, so it's about maturity. It's about being able to build out things in Agile groups and teams and some of that. Then really trying to drive into the direction of Lean Portfolio Management and more Agile program management, I think is where we're heading."
"The administrative tabs are very confusing, especially in terms of configuring screens and users. It's not very intuitive versus many other applications that I have worked in the past. I have to go to separate sections than I think I have to in order to get to the place that I need to adjust something."
