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."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"Time Management Resource Management Project Management"
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"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."
"Demand, project, and time management parts are most valuable."
"Able to manage multimillion projects and resources more effectively."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
 

Cons

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"Better user interface. Usability in terms of better UX."
"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
"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."
"We had bad experience with technical support. They don't do their best to try to help us solve the case."
"The HPE PPM license prices are a bit high. HPE PPM does not support agile management."
"The product releases after 9.3 have many bugs in the Resource Management module."
"Micro Focus PPM should be less dependent on coding. It could also benefit from some updates to the software architecture. These have been on the roadmap for years now, but they haven't been released."
"The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions. The UI is not good."
 

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."
"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,"
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"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."
"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."
