"Jira Portfolio is useful for tracking time and hours. It's easy to manage, create tickets, and change the status of delivery reports. It's not complicated."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"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 most valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the ease of use, many developers are familiar with it."
"Portfolio's best feature is integration with other JIRA products."
"The most valuable feature for me is the visualization and organizing of the tasks. We can have a pick, and then we can stick the multiple issues under that, and then we can again have a sort of hierarchical installation, and that's very useful."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is for managing teams of 10 or more. It can track the program level and portfolio. There are plenty of beneficial features, such as the hierarchy-level view, customization, and structure plugin."
"Recent Program Management lifecycle, Program Management aggregation views due to interactive UI (selection of risks, issues, and changes in Program Overview) and “flash look & feel" of this functional chunk, which is different in comparison to other parts of HPE PPM."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"Overall, they have a very strong workflow management capability. That's a very strong feature because then you can model any process easily. Whether it is a demand management process, a pipeline management process, or your project delivery methodology, it is much easier because of their workflow management capability."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"It's a very detailed tool. As far as an enterprise is concerned, it gives you the flexibility to manage everything: portfolios, projects, finances, proposals, resources, and time... It takes care of even the minor details that need to be captured. The project management functionality is configured really well within the tool. That stands out."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"An improvement would be if Portfolio were integrated with Office 365."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"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."
"The interface JIRA Portfolio could improve."
"The solution's look and feel could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly."
"We had to use assistance for the initial setup."
"This solution is not able to be integrated with other solutions because you have to upgrade it and pay for more licensing."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"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."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"We constantly put in requests for some of the things we need. One of those is being able to export just our standard request type to PDF."
"I would also like to see improvement in PPM's reporting and alerts. PPM has reporting capabilities, including HTML reports and portlets. But a majority of clients will build their own reporting platforms, or they will use external reporting platforms like Tableau and QlikView."
"Sometimes features in PPM don't work as expected, or our users request a new feature. Typically, our partner vendor can deploy those changes. But there have been a few instances when we had to raise it with Micro Focus because it's beyond the ability of our partner vendor. When we raise the issue with Micro Focus, it sometimes takes time because it needs support from other customers using PPM, not just our bank. It goes through a voting system. Other customers need to vote for the feature. The features that get the most votes will possibly be added."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
