"I like how you can trigger notifications and reminders automatically when different statuses are changed or updated."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"The free version provides all the utilities that I need."
"We can remove, add, and modify a project or task charter easily."
"The sales sheet where we keep track of all transactions including transaction history, customers, and all necessary records is great."
"I am able to keep much better track of all current projects and each aspect of individual projects, which has helped to make team meetings a breeze."
"Using the deadline feature to manage priorities has been the most valuable."
"Having visibility of all projects and every team member's workload has been invaluable."
"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 valuable features of the JIRA Portfolio are the customization it provides which is very useful and the Agile project management capability."
"Having an option to view dependencies between projects and teams is great."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules. Atlassian provides a lot of products around JIRA, such as compliance for the documentation, BitBucket for the Git version. We are new to these products developed by Atlassian, but they can integrate very easily. Generally, when an editor is developing a solution, they think about integrating with JIRA. When we are looking for any other solution, they plan to easily integrate with JIRA."
"Portfolio's most valuable features are that it's user-friendly and customer-centric."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"The most valuable features of Jira are the dashboards where we see all the features lined up with the release dates in the portfolio view, it is very good."
"When it comes to managing project plans, Enterprise One is awesome at enabling us to see what stage work is at. I've always thought it was awesome because it's good whether we're doing a traditional WBS or we're linking in epics into projects that are supporting the programs and the strategies, I've always thought it was an excellent tool."
"Its view into resource capacity and availability helps us to manage work. In reporting, we use this facility to help with resource capacity and availability. It also helps to see how much we are using. We derive that information from the work and resource management screen. That is very helpful."
"In my opinion, the financial planning feature is the most valuable feature of Planview Enterprise One."
"We use expenditures quite a bit. We put in forecast expenditures and then we actualize them below the line in the little box in the bottom tray. Being able to track the project with relevant milestones is also valuable. Milestones are valuable because it helps us to keep the project on track. The expenditures are valuable because we need to be able to understand expenses that are beyond the regular resources in the projects."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the completeness of the standard, underlying metamodel."
"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool. It affects our project management because our project management uses Planview to monitor their daily work. Every night it loads our SAP system and then they monitor the daily work. They use Planview as a full planning and monitoring tool."
"The resource capacity planning is the most valuable feature because you can evaluate your team's capacity by team and what projects they're working on and you can forecast easily by team."
"The resource management and assignment features are valuable. The timesheet management is also valuable because that is a requirement for us. So, the ability to see timesheet forecasting and timesheet actual submission from resources has been very useful and valuable to us."
"If there was a way for Monday.com to take over, or interface with, my inbox, such that my email messages became associated with a particular task, group, or board, that would be incredibly useful."
"Monday.com is always upgrading its features. I struggle to keep up with it all as I am not a tech expert."
"We often have problems with bugs and slow service."
"We need the product to keep adding automation - specifically more subitem automation."
"The only thing that I would change, and I'm not sure if this is part of the settings that need to be fixed by the user itself, not by the admin, is that sometimes it would be convenient to make your own categories, and it makes it difficult to constantly go and talk to my boss to get them."
"Perhaps a direct interface integration with social media channels would be ideal."
"We'd like integration with SharePoint so that it becomes easier to find and share files stored in SharePoint."
"We'd like to see cross-board automation."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"If you want to generate a report for individual usage, it's difficult."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"Being the IT development manager who implements the upgrades for Planview, I would love to see more thorough testing of expenditures and more thorough testing in general. When we do an upgrade, we have to do quite a bit of testing because we can affect the bottom line."
"Configuring the UI in the content management system is too elaborate and too time-consuming."
"One big issue we have been having during our annual planning is that only the creator of a portfolio can edit it. This means that only the creator of a portfolio can edit which projects are included or excluded in it."
"The biggest room for improvement are the scripted dialogues. The scripted dialogues are a logic that you set up to force a certain workflow or process to happen. It's very old in respect that there are no clauses that you can apply to that logic. That definitely can use a lot of room for improvement."
"The scheduling's kind of clunky in terms of its ability for us to see what stage work is at. They could have done better with that. It can be difficult to use."
"The outcome management and work resource management in terms of teams needs improvement. Team handling, how team requirements are generated, and how the resource managers can work with teams needs to be improved."
"The reporting is absolutely shocking. It's not good reporting and requires improvement."
"The out-of-the-box reports, as far as I can tell, are weak. We've had to build a lot of reports using Power BI, which we connected to it."
