Useful for resource and financial management but needs to change Oracle database
The solution helps with tech management. It has a work plan similar to Microsoft Project for tracking progress anywhere. It can synchronize with Microsoft Projects for updating and rebooting tasks. They can also assign tasks to team members who can update progress using timesheets without a sheet. It includes a Project dashboard for managing multiple projects simultaneously and program management for overseeing groups of projects. It offers various data metrics. It has project entities for controlling risks, issues, and protections. It can calculate costs based on resource tasks and compare actual and planned costs. The tool has features for scenario comparison, allowing us to optimize scenarios based on various factors. Additionally, we can manually optimize by managing resource availability, creating staffing profiles, and making payments to optimize in any situation.

Consistent capital project workflows have improved collaboration and real-time data use
In my opinion, the best features of Trimble Project Management are that it is quite good as a database and process, and it has been working well for us. The big challenge is on the reporting side; it does not provide great dashboards and that type of functionality. Using Trimble Project Management has made our project efficiency more efficient than not having it. It is a project management information system, so it is very important to have for our organization. Trimble Project Management's real-time data integration has been a valuable feature; we have a data warehouse that it sends information to, and we use Tableau to create dashboards.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"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."
"Demand Management and reporting are the most valuable features."
"Time Management Resource Management Project Management"
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"The financial management is very extensive, complete and easy to use without too much configuration."
"Using Trimble Project Management has made our project efficiency more efficient than not having it."
 

Cons

"The product releases after 9.3 have many bugs in the Resource Management module."
"User interface continues to be poor. The product does not have a similar view in the different modules, e.g., staffing vs financial management, it looks like you are working with a different product and it is not easy to use or intuitive."
"Budget management could be provided."
"User interface continues to be poor. The product does not have a similar view in the different modules, e.g., staffing vs financial management, it looks like you are working with a different product and it is not easy to use or intuitive."
"The HPE PPM license prices are a bit high. HPE PPM does not support agile management."
"We had a couple of issues with stability or performance degradation about a year ago, around the time of the initial rollout. Since then, we've only had two unexpected outages that were quickly resolved."
"Stops is complex and configuration is always needed."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management should move their database from Oracle."
"The reporting does exist, but it is not great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Support and license management are two hurdles for us. Every time we purchase new licenses, it has taken us half a year to implement those."
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
"Now, we also received an increase in the support license prices, without any advanced notice. At this point, switching to unify all our licensing under HPE and customer support has been poor."
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"A large organization will find Micro Focus PPM affordable, but it may be a bit costly for a small or medium-sized company. The license is based on the number of users."
