Provides efficiency in metadata storage and implementation
Many applications perform similarly to Hive, offering metadata implementations. I'm looking into their advancements, such as aggregated joins and MBT joins. Hive's virtual implementations are evolving, and tools like Snowflake offer specific use case advancements. In future releases, the Bloomfilter function should be a part of Hive. Windowing functions should also be there. I would also like to see AI implementation.

Good integration with resource management and handles time management well, but the licensing is absurd
We did not purchase the agile package. I believe this relates to what we had. We had Planview and Projectplace, but not, the full agile package. We had cards in Projectplace, but we couldn't put them into Epix and then stories because they were part of the agile package. Planview turned out to be completely useless for my use cases because I needed to be able to take large, stories or large Epix and put them on a backlog and associate them with Planview work breakdown structure schedules. In Planview, we would have to migrate application A and application B, but we would be doing this for 30 different applications. In the absence of a way to represent large sub-projects in Planview and have them moveable in time, with the resources associated with them also moving as you move them, I had to work around that limitation and mostly work in Projectplace. That being said, I did not have access to the agile module, but my suspicions are that it would not have made much of a difference due to the poor integration between Projectplace and Planview. Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It excels in handling diverse data formats and is particularly beneficial for constructing a data lake for companies with mixed data types, such as videos and structured data."
"It is a good solution for us when it comes to metadata implementation. It's beneficial to have metadata stored in Hive."
"Planview Projectplace is a really good solution for document sharing and keeping track of the history of changes in the document, and I also like that you can have everything you need for a project in one place, for example, for documentation, planning, and even resource planning."
"It is a complete solution. It is very useful for the management of our internal processes."
"From a scale of one to 10, the overall visibility into project status provided by Projectplace is definitely a 10."
"The most useful features of Planview are its integration with resource management and the ability to commit and reserve various resources."
"Projectplace absolutely supports collaboration in real-time; it's probably one of the best tools out there for collaboration and it really helps to finish projects very quickly."
"Right from the initial steps, we found this product easy to use."
"I would absolutely recommend the system to other users."
"From an organizational perspective, the transparency and accountability across a project and the work that needs to be done is just wonderful, and there's a ton of value as an organization for the transparency and accountability of work that needs to be done."
 

Cons

"In future releases, I would also like to see AI implementation."
"For smaller datasets, it may not be as suitable, and its performance might not be optimal."
"In India, we have found that it crashes once in six months and we lose some data when there is a crash."
"We have a connection-related problem, which is impacting our daily operations, but we have had the same status for the last two months."
"The reporting end of it needs improvement. There should be more reporting, more data at your fingertips."
"I believe that the graphs, reporting, and connection with the slides are areas that need improvement."
"Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two."
"Sometimes it's slow. I get complaints that it's slow in starting up."
"The time reporting is an excellent feature that they can show from an individual. The only problem I see is the description field. You can't increase that field, like to pull the column and widen the column that I've seen. I'm not seeing anywhere you could do that. Because you may have some of these cards that start with the same name and you only have so much real estate. There should be a way to adjust those columns somewhat so you can look at the description or hover over it and it tells you what the description is."
"In terms of what could be improved in Planview Projectplace, it would depend on the purpose, because if you talk about resource planning, from my perspective, it's not the best tool. It would also depend on the company itself, for example, I've been working with another company and Planview Projectplace was needed more for workload and resource planning purposes, and I don't think the solution covered those purposes well. Its resource planning and workload functions need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source solution."
"The cost of this product is mid-range. It's not too expensive but not the cheapest on the market."
"I believe it is a good value for money for the service they provide and the tailored program. When compared to Microsoft Project."
"I would say the licensing maturity was probably a three out of five. They have a long way to go before they can scale out and retain enterprise customers."
"I think the price of Projectplace is highly reasonable for the amount of functionality that you get. We have what they call a FLEX License. That means you get Projectplace, Enterprise One, and Leankits all on the same license. That's great because then you can use the other products without any additional cost."
"In my opinion, the pricing is reasonable."
"It can be expensive, but if you see the functionalities and the processes, it's not as expensive as other applications. We pay about 1 million Mexican Pesos per year for all 100 licenses."
