Project Manager at 3M
Centralized planning has improved resource visibility and supports data‑driven financial decisions
The best features Planview Portfolios offers are visibility enhancement, robust system performance, and comprehensive resource management. This enhanced visibility in Planview Portfolios ensures that all users can easily track progress, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions to optimize workflow efficiency. When discussing robust system performance, the system's robust performance in meeting our various work requirements effectively and efficiently stands out. It is very stable and reliable, contributing to a seamless user experience, which enables users to focus on their tasks without disruptions. I also love the financial breakdown, planning and prioritization, and attribute collection on projects in Planview Portfolios. Planview Portfolios has positively impacted my organization since I started using it. It has enabled me to gain insights into the full scope of work consuming resources. I am able to know where the resources are being consumed more, especially which resources are consuming the most. I have been able to leverage resources management and resource time reporting, which enabled the generation of $90 million in annual revenue through labor billing to customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is adaptability."
"The dashboards and reports that we provide out of Planview are priceless when compared to any other tool."
"Planview has helped connect funding and strategic outcomes with work execution."
"We haven't experienced any issues with scalability or stability."
"One of the reasons why I love Enterprise One so much is due to the fact that, when I first started using it in 2014, when I was given the role to help administrators, there was an assumption that this tool was too complex."
"Compared to other tools, Enterprise One is definitely cleaner and easier to use."
"Having a single source of the truth, specifically with the integration with Power BI, enables us to give leadership more relative content for decision-making and it is now being leveraged heavily in the executive decision-making process."
"Planview has helped connect funding and strategic outcomes with work execution."
"The resource capacity and availability have helped us to manage work by preventing us from starting work that we cannot consume."
 

Cons

"They could provide a simplified process for building and deploying solutions in the cloud."
"Visualization and reporting areas could use improvements by having canned reports."
"One area where Planview Portfolios could be improved is the reporting module, which needs to be more flexible as it is not easy to switch between data representations easily."
"The financial piece of the tool could be better. While it may have to do with the complexity of the work that we do, it seems that the tool should be able to drill down a bit deeper into the financial area."
"I would like to be able to copy and paste from Excel into work and assignments along with roles and hours, as opposed to having to type it out one by one."
"So far, it has been good, but we've been in conversation with the vendor product team to improve the performance of the Work and Assignments module, because right now it is a bit slower."
"Additional improvements are needed for Planview Portfolios."
"The resource area needs improvement. The improvements that have been made recently in the later versions have been good improvements, but I think there are some more improvements needed there."
"I think the capabilities are there, but it seems difficult for me to even create a report as I am not a Planview technical expert. It is not particularly intuitive. It slows us down in reporting the big picture to management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform’s pricing depends on the specific project requirements."
"We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."
"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."
"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."
"With the costs, they were very understanding. Knowing that we were an existing customer, they were very much willing to work with us to make sure that we were able to transition to Enterprise One from PPM Pro."
"We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."
"I don't know about the actual pricing. I have not come across any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We have unlimited licenses for all of our functionalities. Since we went global, we went with that model."
"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."
