Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""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.""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.""The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

"The solution was quite easy to use. The interface was quite user-friendly, and I've become quite familiar with it.""As a product, the primary reason we like it is it gets integrated with our ITSM solution so that we don't have to go for an external product for project management like Jira.""The PPM module is an excellent service.""The solution is scalable.""It's a very complete solution.""The technical support is pretty good. ServiceNow has consistently provided excellent assistance.""You don't need a lot of plugins.""The performance is good."

Cons
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions.""Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include.""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.""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.""I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

More Planview Daptiv Cons →

"ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management could improve by having more Agile features. Other solutions, such as Rally have more.""The configurations are fine, but the user interface could be improved.""When we originally set it up, we had some kind of success manager free of charge, and now it's an additional charge over and above what we're paying.""The interface isn't user-friendly.""The user interface could be more modern.""The interface is cluttered with a lot of names and areas. It may not be user friendly enough for a first timer.""The setup is a bit complex. It depends on the organizational needs, and sometimes, we make customizations based on those needs.""I would like to see some artificial intelligence incorporated into the management functions."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • More Planview Daptiv Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "They sell some things in bundles, and it could be handier that some of those things could be sold in another way, like purity models and other packages. Another thing that I'm struggling with is the pricing of ServiceNow's FYE experience, which includes the tools that are positioned for supporting HR."
  • "It is a little expensive. We are in Brazil, and for us, it is a little expensive."
  • "The solution could improve by being less expensive and the pricing model is confusing. Many people are getting charged different amounts. There are additional fees that they are adding on."
  • "We have a team of about 6,500 employees across the globe. So, the amount of money I'm going to save by putting the money on the table for the implementation and licenses is very high."
  • "The cost of the solution should not be more than $50,000 annually."
  • "I would rate the cost as five out of ten."
  • "The licensing is based on metrics and is tailored to customer's needs."
  • "I rate the price of ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management a seven out of ten."
