Powerful technology, open-source, and Java-based

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

"It is a very powerful technology to develop mobile applications or website applications, and it is based on Java, which is a very powerful and widely used programming language."
"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."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
"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."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"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."
 

Cons

"It takes time to download dependencies during deployment. It would be much easier if they can improve it from this aspect."
"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."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask.

In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"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."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is open-source and free. You just pay for the server for deployment."
"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."
