Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers.""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.""There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management.""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 portfolio management and the resource management are the key features.""Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows.""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."

"I like how user-friendly, visual, and intuitive it is. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure out how to make it work for you.""I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities.""I appreciate the ease of creating boards and the flexibility it offers.""The solution is very easy to use.""Trello is very easy to install and set up. It is also easy to use. Its interface is excellent.""I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward.""The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need.""It has a very modern-looking interface."

Cons
"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.""Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc.""Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses.""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.""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.""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.""The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."

"Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent.""Reporting features could be improved.""Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS.""Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues.""Trello does not provide you with as many functionalities as Jira and various third-party integrations provided by these different platforms.""I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members.""Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first.""Trello has become complex over the years."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Support and license management are two hurdles for us. Every time we purchase new licenses, it has taken us half a year to implement those."
  • "It is SaaS without a base fee."
  • "HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
  • "Now, we also received an increase in the support license prices, without any advanced notice. At this point, switching to unify all our licensing under HPE and customer support has been poor."
  • "We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
  • "A large organization will find Micro Focus PPM affordable, but it may be a bit costly for a small or medium-sized company. The license is based on the number of users."

  • "Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
  • "I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
  • "I am tinkering with the free version."
  • "The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
  • "Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
  • "We are currently using the open-source option."
  • "Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."
