Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that its workflows are really impressive."

More Bubble Innovator Pros →

"I like the automated calculations, especially on the resource side. When project managers enter their resource requirements into their staffing profiles, they are automatically translated into labor forecast calculations. PPM automates a significant portion of the forecast calculations. Timesheets are also built-in. We automatically process time sheets and bill them accordingly.""The data provided by PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful.""I like the ease of customization from an admin perspective. I'm really excited about some of the things that are coming in version 10.0.3 as far as what admins are able to do.""Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine.""Recent Program Management lifecycle, Program Management aggregation views due to interactive UI (selection of risks, issues, and changes in Program Overview) and “flash look & feel" of this functional chunk, which is different in comparison to other parts of HPE PPM.""Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products.""Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers.""There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."

Cons
"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."

More Bubble Innovator Cons →

"Sometimes features in PPM don't work as expected, or our users request a new feature. Typically, our partner vendor can deploy those changes. But there have been a few instances when we had to raise it with Micro Focus because it's beyond the ability of our partner vendor. When we raise the issue with Micro Focus, it sometimes takes time because it needs support from other customers using PPM, not just our bank. It goes through a voting system. Other customers need to vote for the feature. The features that get the most votes will possibly be added.""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.""Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses.""I would also like to see improvement in PPM's reporting and alerts. PPM has reporting capabilities, including HTML reports and portlets. But a majority of clients will build their own reporting platforms, or they will use external reporting platforms like Tableau and QlikView.""We constantly put in requests for some of the things we need. One of those is being able to export just our standard request type to PDF.""They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky.""The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic.""Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Since I use Bubble Innovator to create applications for my company's clients, I feel the pricing part of the product is fair."
  • More Bubble Innovator Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "It is SaaS without a base fee."
  • "HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
  • "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."
  • "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."
