An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.

workflow streamlines processes and ensures activities are completed properly
The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow. The workflow is amazing and highly effective in streamlining processes. Additionally, it is used to ensure that activities are completed properly, as part of the typical project and portfolio management. It meets my needs as a good project and portfolio management tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to network informally is great for communicating with colleagues."
"The app functionality and ease of seeing the different functionalities parsed equally on the screen with consistent menu access to shift between areas."
"The ease of use is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow."
"Demand, project, and time management parts are most valuable."
"Customer service and technical support are excellent and great at helping us when needed."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"The demand, project and time management parts are the most valuable features."
"Time Management Resource Management Project 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."
 

Cons

"Formalized area to store contact information indexed in a way that can pre-populate other areas would be helpful."
"The product isn't easy to use. It's not very intuitive."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The HPE PPM license prices are a bit high. HPE PPM does not support agile management."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management should move their database from Oracle."
"Features such as the chargeback mechanism as well as managing various partners and cloud service providers needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be improved. Support is a competitive issue in the market with this tool, at least for medium sized customers."
"Sometimes, yes. Especially in a Windows environment."
"The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions. The UI is not good."
"Program Management can be more functional to provide better program management."
"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"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."
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
