It's very scalable. That's one of the things that I like about it. You can change it and move around and make it work for you.
We have over 2,500 users.
I expect our usage will increase. Right now, it's being used by all of our IT department. Our usage has already increased from when we initially rolled it out. Prior to us moving to the cloud solution, it was used by about half of our organization that was focused on our eligibility systems. Then we opened it up to our IT business areas to use for time tracking and now it has been rolled out to the entire IT department. As we keep growing and continue to use the tool, we'll find more uses for it and that will definitely increase the number of users.

It's scalable.
I work for various clients. Some of them have a user base of 20,000, and for some it is 30,000. But the admin portion or the developer portion of it would have 10 or 15 people at most. The largest percentage of users is actually the timesheet users, with 5,000 users in project management.
We use all the modules of PPM. We try to use almost all its features. Portfolio management is the space where we are trying to consume all of its offered features, slowly. We are trying to have more and more users adopt it. We are trying to increase its scope.
Micro Focus is adding features to PPM that they feel are important to future versions. But when, as clients, we try to tell them that they should also work on XYZ enhancements, they always come up with the answer that their backlog is full and they cannot tell us when our enhancements will be implemented. They do come up with some new features, but they're quite slow in incorporating the enhancements requested by clients.
There have been a lot of improvements in the space of portfolio management, in the space of integrations with external tools, for example. There have been improvements in the reporting capabilities of PPM as well. In the initial days, it was just the JSP reports or the HTML reports or types of portlets. But over the years they have included Excel and some other dashboards.
Their updated features and innovations are important. Even though we are not very satisfied with some of the functionality, the kinds of UI improvements and features they have added have helped us carry on with the tool.

The scalability has been good so far. We haven't had any issues with it. We have about 200 users who use it for project management, timesheets, and some business resources.
We are using version 9.41 of PPM, but we are working on building our roadmap to upgrade to the next one. We are planning to have multiple instances of the platform, so we are investing in the product. But up until now, we have only been using one instance.
We are going to discover what Micro Focus' ability is to add and update features in the new version. But what we have seen from the demos is that they have added many valuable features for resource management and financial management and KPIs.

The scalability is excellent. We have at least 10,000 users working with PPM, including employees who use it for timesheets and project managers. We plan to increase usage. For example, only technology teams use PPM for timesheets, but they plan to get the business project staff to use the timesheet features, too. It hasn't been deployed yet, but it's under discussion. The user base will most likely increase.

Initially, we purchased the product for 80 users, and now we have almost 2300 to 2400 users. So, it's been very scalable; very easy to scale.
