OpenText Project and portfolio Management Stability

PPM SaaS Application Manager at a government with 10,001+ employees

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. 

Stability-wise, it's okay. When we were on-premises, we were just on Windows boxes and every month we would have some sort of performance degradation and we would need to clear the cache and restart the app servers, et cetera. We haven't had to do that as often. We're at least 75 percent more stable than we were before.

It's not very stable. First of all, there are quite a few defects in this tool. That makes life a little difficult for us. You have to do a lot of follow-up with Micro Focus that something is, indeed, a defect and then get a hotfix out of them. That takes some time. 

And as far as performance is concerned of the tool overall, it is alright, but it is not great. Some of the data elements will take quite some time to load. Performance improvement is needed.

Project and Portfolio Management Governance and Support at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

After six years of providing end-to-end support to our users, I can say PPM is highly stable. Our vendor partner addresses bugs quickly, and we can discover the cause if there is an outage.

Manager application development at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

It's gotten better. It has been better than other applications. The latest upgrade was extremely painful. I don't think they took into account customers that had been on it for 17 years when they wrote the upgrade script. I ran into a lot of issues with files left behind that they didn't clean up. Then when asking for help, they weren't even familiar with our directory structure, they were looking for a different directory structure. So, the latest upgrade was very painful. Prior to that, it had always gone very smoothly.

Yes, when it was hosted on a Unix platform; but since it has been moved to Windows it looks all good. Not sure what was the issue with the unix platform.. could be the internal environment.

Yes, we did in the 9.14 and 9.23 versions, now we are more stable. However, we still have problems from time to time. PPM requires a lot of infrastructure resources.
