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."
"The most valuable feature is resource planning or resource management."
"With PPM allowing us to streamline processes, get them all in one place, and automate handovers and notifications, it saves us between 15 and 20 hours a week on things that we would have otherwise had to do ourselves in emails and other types of coordination."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"The financial management is very extensive, complete and easy to use without too much configuration."
"Demand, project and time management parts of the tool are the most valuable."
"Customer service and technical support are excellent and great at helping us when needed."
"There are lots of project management tools that do a good job, but not so many that can manage portfolios and the bigger planning picture."
 

Cons

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
"Better user interface. Usability in terms of better UX."
"The product releases after 9.3 have many bugs in the Resource Management module."
"Sometimes, yes. Especially in a Windows environment."
"Features such as the chargeback mechanism as well as managing various partners and cloud service providers needs to be improved."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management could improve in several areas such as portfolio planning and resource allocation."
"Technical support could be improved. Support is a competitive issue in the market with this tool, at least for medium sized customers."
"Stops is complex and configuration is always needed."
 

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."
"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,"
"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."
"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."
"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."
