PPM SaaS Application Manager at a government with 10,001+ employees
Gives management a cohesive place for tracking business strategies and goals, but cosmetic aspects need work
I like the ease of customization from an admin perspective. I'm really excited about some of the things that are coming in version 10.0.3 as far as what admins are able to do. I also really like how the program portfolio and project management roll up into each other. That's going to be a really good feature for our organization because we have a lot of things that are related, and it's nice to have things under one umbrella where we can go back to them. I also like the fact that it's not very difficult to integrate with other applications, as long as you have the right people with the right skill sets on board. I have seen us integrate with a couple of other cloud solutions and that was done fairly quickly. It's the ease of use and the ability to customize PPM that really work in our favor. Another useful aspect is that the solution gives us a single place where teams can track and measure progress towards their goals. That it is very important from an upper management perspective. Part of the reason that they're using the application is to have a cohesive place for tracking business strategies and organizational goals, and to only implement projects that line up with them.

A project management solution that can be automated to suit your needs
I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten because it's easy. We had to really understand the solution because it's huge, and we had to know which sections to bite off first. I might even rate the initial setup a nine out of ten if you know what you've got. Once we had all our data and our migration plan, it was quite easy. The challenge lies more with the organization than the system itself. Sciforma is one of the easiest tools to get going with from a technical point of view, but knowledge is key. Deploying the solution takes from six months to a year, depending on the level of data wanted. While deploying the solution, we have to first compile the user's requirements. Then we have to drop a baseline specification in parallel with a concept rollout. Based on what's in the concept, we pick from what the client understands to be the relevant portions, the minimum requirements. Then I convert it into a project execution plan and then execute the plan. After that, we have initial data collection for configuration and then final live data. Then we have the sign-off processes of different departments. There's a lot of upfront work to get the data prepared for transmission, and that is a big challenge. We did almost a thousand projects per year, so there were quite a lot of decisions to speed up the deployment process. The biggest challenge was to get our internal data organized and map it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"At the top of my mind, I can't really tell, but functionality wise and time and effort wise it has done miracles here."
"Demand, project and time management parts of the tool are the most valuable."
"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'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."
"The financial management is very extensive, complete and easy to use without too much configuration."
"Demand, Dashboard, and Reporting are the most powerful modules for our customers."
"Able to manage multimillion projects and resources more effectively."
"Project management, time and resource management, demand management, and workflow automation are the most critical and important modules that can make the PPM usage successful."
"ONE2TEAM revolutionizes the way of working: The cloud based solution for project and portfolio management with very strong collaboration functionality lets executives and team members access their work environment anytime, anywhere to monitor program status, act, and complete a personalized checklist of tasks without the need to send emails or create presentations, simply working together in a dashboard."
"It makes it more fun to work with a modern designed and easy-to-use solution as a team and not add or analyze data alone. Internal, external, home office, remote work, desktop, mobile (available on iOS and Android), are always connected to One2Team."
"I find Sciforma's customizability valuable."
"The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."
 

Cons

"Program Management can be more functional to provide better program management."
"There is quite a few areas of improvement - Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"We had bad experience with technical support. They don't do their best to try to help us solve the case."
"Features such as the chargeback mechanism as well as managing various partners and cloud service providers needs to be improved."
"Budget management could be provided."
"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."
"Stops is complex and configuration is always needed."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved."
"The report developer needs a bit of streamlining."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."
