Collaborative features improve task management and project tracking
All the business areas are comfortable with JIRA Portfolio. JIRA Portfolio has many features that we have not yet explored or utilized fully, but the power of JIRA Portfolio at this moment for the several areas in the business has been a very comfortable experience. The cloud accessibility and quick task creation capabilities make collaborating with the tool a great feature for working with my team. Users can assign tasks to one or two people who can collaborate and document their work. That feature is amazing in terms of collaboration. While the tool does not currently support meetings, if JIRA Portfolio incorporates meeting functionality in the future, it would greatly enhance the process, especially for tasks requiring teams from different areas.

Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve
The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use Jira Portfolio in our organization for issue tracking and task management. We had many projects. We didn't use it much for forecasting, but we did use it a bit for release planning by assigning tasks to releases. We didn't use it for project management or scenario planning; we just used it for tasks."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is the many features it provides, such as code integration, documentation, roadmap, and Eclipse. The solution is useful for product managers."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature, the user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"The solution is simple to use."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature. The user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."
"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."
"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."
 

Cons

"The product presently lacks visualization capabilities"
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"JIRA Portfolio could improve new implementation because if I want integration for the complete wide frame tools it cannot provide any wide frame tools."
"I think that front-end development is a little bit buggy in some cases. Some of the features take a while to respond and some need to be more clear."
"An improvement would be if Portfolio were integrated with Office 365."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"We are based in India; I would like the product to integrate local pricing. We earn in rupees but spend in dollars. Its pricing could also be lowered."
"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas.

In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"We only have nine people using it so we have a standard cost of $150 dollar per year. There are only additional costs if you exceed the limit of users, then you start paying by user. The cost is significantly higher."
"The pricing continues to get higher."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
