A project management tool that offers great scalability and stability

The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement. From an improvement perspective, Bitrix24 should consider providing live and upfront support to its users, especially those who use the solution's free version. If you want someone to get on your platform for which you can't provide support, then it doesn't make that platform any different from its competitors. It would make sense to people if Bitrix24 could provide support for even their free version. It would be good if Bitrix24 added some accounting elements to the tool instead of just providing functionality related to bookkeeping alone since it can help Bitrix24 become a complete tool. During the setup phase of the solution, the tool should provide its users an option to add the accounting part, making it a complete solution.

User-friendly interface, but the reporting could be improved

The reporting is poor and requires improvement. The tiles and exception-based activities in the application are sufficient to get by. However, when it comes to producing executive reports, MI reports, or any other type of reporting, we must exit Planview and work offline. We have been working with them to improve on that, as well as using some of the Power BI capabilities that have been available for a while, but it's still more difficult than it should be. In the next release, I would like to be able to use the data in the tool to gain insight much more easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now."

"The data interpretation feature in Bitrix24 is good."

"It is a very scalable solution...The tool currently operates efficiently and contributes to our ongoing digitization efforts, including documentation and workflows."

"It is easy to use and very stable."

"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."

"The data entry functionality is excellent, and the pipeline views and filters are highly useful."

"The product is user-friendly."

"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."

More Bitrix24 pros

"We use expenditures quite a bit. We put in forecast expenditures and then we actualize them below the line in the little box in the bottom tray. Being able to track the project with relevant milestones is also valuable. Milestones are valuable because it helps us to keep the project on track. The expenditures are valuable because we need to be able to understand expenses that are beyond the regular resources in the projects."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."

"We have a fairly good picture of time tracking."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the completeness of the standard, underlying metamodel."

"It maps back to our SDLC process pretty well. I'm able to see the stage of where things are at. We also use Azure DevOps for all of our requirements and our coding."

"The Kanban board has really helped us be more agile and we can keep track of everything that is ongoing."

"The most valuable features are scheduling, resource management, and, from a project perspective, the functions like issues that change orders. They are valuable because, from a project management perspective, we use the workflows that we build for project management and do active risk management and issue management for the projects that we want for our agencies."

"It gives us the vast ability to churn out-of-the-box reports and have an overview about approach rates and resource utilization."

More Planview Portfolios pros

Cons

"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."

"The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."

"I would like to see improvements with Bitrix24's marketing automation."

"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."

"Bitrix24’s interface needs to be improved."

"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."

"Our financial department does not use Bitrix24 because it's not good for the sort of work they do. So, once we create an invoice in Bitrix24, we sent it to the client and the financial department and they enter it separately into their system. This is not great for us since we can't track what happens after a sale."

"We need full ERP integration to take all our processes in one platform."

More Bitrix24 cons

"We have required more time from our resource managers to spend time in the tool. The adoption has been slower than we would have hoped. So, I would think from a rollout perspective, if Planview could help us with material which gets non-Planview users or previously light Planview users to become more heavy users of the system, then this would help us with the rollout."

"I would like to be able to integrate with Oracle to supplement what we're currently doing with reporting."

"The out-of-the-box reports, as far as I can tell, are weak. We've had to build a lot of reports using Power BI, which we connected to it."

"There can be improvement on the sense of urgency because a lot of times we've exhausted everything that we can, and now, we're reaching out. So, it isn't a, "Well, have you tried to reboot this?" We've already done everything. Once we put in a ticket, there should be more of a sense of urgency on it."

"Visualization and reporting areas could use improvements by having canned reports."

"It is not an end-user-friendly product, and that's really the biggest thing. The hardest or the biggest hurdle I've ever had to face was adoption. I did the installation of the HP product in 2011. The company used it from 2011 to 2015, and the adoption was very high. When I was given the Planview product, adoption was very low. It wasn't as extensively used. We actually had people who wanted to go back to HP PPM because the interface of Planview was so broken, and it still is to some degree. So, it is not user-friendly. It doesn't flow the way a project manager thinks. What we did with HP PPM was a lot more manual programming. It wasn't as nice in terms of the interface, and it wasn't as pretty, but you could design it and build it so that everything flows with the way you worked, but Planview doesn't quite do that. There are a lot of screens. You have to jump back and forth. There are so many different places you have to go to just to do some basic tasks. That's the biggest thing that has really hindered adoption."

"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."

"We've been using it for a while, so it's about maturity. It's about being able to build out things in Agile groups and teams and some of that. Then really trying to drive into the direction of Lean Portfolio Management and more Agile program management, I think is where we're heading."

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."

"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."

"I use the free version. I sense that my company will need a license for the solution in a few months to use some features like lead management."

"The solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."

"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."

"The cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months."

More Bitrix24 pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing fees are approximately $50,000 USD annually."

"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."

"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."

"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."

"I think all in we are at $33,000 a year and that includes Projectplace and Planview. We used to have the integration to JIRA, but we don't pay for that anymore."

"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."

"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."
