A tool to help create mobile and web applications that ensure its users experience a return on investment from its use
My company uses Bubble Innovator to create applications, specifically mobile applications and web applications. Our company uses the solution to design websites or online pages I did not use Bubble Innovator for my own needs. I used the solution to create applications for clients. The most…

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 most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that its workflows are really impressive."
"It gives a more organized approach for managing the projects and helps us since many things can be automated using this tool, which were previously done manually."
"Demand, project and time management parts of the tool are the most valuable."
"It's a very detailed tool. As far as an enterprise is concerned, it gives you the flexibility to manage everything: portfolios, projects, finances, proposals, resources, and time... It takes care of even the minor details that need to be captured. The project management functionality is configured really well within the tool. That stands out."
"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."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"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."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
 

Cons

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"We had bad experience with technical support. They don't do their best to try to help us solve the case."
"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."
"Features such as the chargeback mechanism as well as managing various partners and cloud service providers needs to be improved."
"There are some limitations when it comes to attaching receipts. For example, if we are going to buy some non-labor-related assets such as hardware, we are not able to attach the receipts in the Financial Management module in version 9.41."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"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."
"I'm not thrilled. I feel like I get the runaround and I have to explain the issue five different times."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
 

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."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
