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

"The best features of JIRA are its flexibility and configurability, allowing us to tailor it to our specific needs."
"Having an option to view dependencies between projects and teams is great."
"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"The solution is very stable."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"The solution helps you organize projects"
"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."
"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"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."
"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"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."
 

Cons

"The workflow needs improvement."
"This solution is not able to be integrated with other solutions because you have to upgrade it and pay for more licensing."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"When I want to embed Jira Portfolio in a complete HLI cycle, I'm missing things to evaluate my ethic into my value stream."
"The product could do with more flexible reporting."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"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."
"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is really not very expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"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."
"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."
