A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects
The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.

Pros

"We are considering Bitrix24 as an office automation solution for our workplace productivity-related issues, project management activities, and staff tracking."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"It is easy to use and very stable."
"We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM."
"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."
"I believe that having one system that handles all of the functions that we need in a business, such as marketing, sales, pipeline management, project management, meetings, customer contact, customer feedback, social media integrations, and connections to our cloud data storage, Google, and Microsoft, is a good idea."
"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"We use time reporting. We convert time reporting into financial costs and do contractor and capacity planning for our resources. We track our work. So, that's the module we use extensively. As a matter of fact, we have upwards of 300 open projects at this given moment. It is pretty close to 300 open activities that are working."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."
"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool."
"The look and feel of it is pretty clean."
"The biggest impact has been getting all these global groups into one space so we can even have intelligent conversations about what are we trying to accomplish. Before, it was just different regions doing whatever. Now, we're all talking the same language, and that's good."
"We can easily see which functions are overcapacity. Before, we did not have visibility into that."
"We have a fairly good picture of time tracking."
"The solution is flexible. Planview is always introducing new releases and functionality, which ends up being beneficial to the company. We are able to do some customizations on our own along with our IT department, and that's very helpful."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming."
"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."
"In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"There are some bugs in the mobile system."
"Bitrix24’s interface needs to be improved."
"The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved."
"Compared to Microsoft, we found Bitrix24 a little complex because it's new to us, and we don't understand it much."
"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting is not immediately useful and although it can be configured or customized, there are still improvements that can be made."
"One big issue we have been having during our annual planning is that only the creator of a portfolio can edit it. This means that only the creator of a portfolio can edit which projects are included or excluded in it."
"I would suggest for the request module that they open up the fields and columns so it's like we are doing our work in the work module. You can't do that with today. We also have to make sure that the fields can go both ways with the request and work modules. Including fields in the column sets would be helpful, because today they only use attributes."
"I would like to be able to integrate with Oracle to supplement what we're currently doing with reporting."
"The biggest room for improvement are the scripted dialogues. The scripted dialogues are a logic that you set up to force a certain workflow or process to happen. It's very old in respect that there are no clauses that you can apply to that logic. That definitely can use a lot of room for improvement."
"There are some issues with how long it takes to load the data to Planview, It just depends on what your setup is. If there was a way Planview could maybe make the loading faster, in case you do have a lot of things going on with your setup."
"The outcome management and work resource management in terms of teams needs improvement. Team handling, how team requirements are generated, and how the resource managers can work with teams needs to be improved."
"The content management definitely needs to improve. We don't really use content management for projects inside Enterprise One. We have actually switched to a SharePoint site. We have a feed from Enterprise One every night of all the projects that are created."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."
"Bitrix24 used to be cheaper, but now it's getting expensive."
"Licenses are cheap compared to other solutions."
"The cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months."
"Bitrix24 is a cheap tool. I think our costs are somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 per month. There are no additional costs with it. We did put in some hours to clean up some project-related stuff in it, but it was not much."
"Price-wise, it is a very cheap solution."
"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."
"The solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."
"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."
"We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."
"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."
"We are on the Flex licenses."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $50,000 USD annually."
"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."
"In the time that I've used it, we've doubled up the amount of dollars on our intended projects."
"We overbought our licenses. We looked at our needs three to four years down the road and tried based our contract on that. However, we were over aggressive. We use about a third of the licenses that we have. We're looking to adjust the makeup so we can start utilizing the amount of money that we are spending. Right now, we're overspending, and my organization is not seeing the value in Planview because we are paying so much for licenses that we're not using."
