Aphiwat Leetavorn. - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Effective project coordination bridges field and office with real-time updates
It helps with project management. All the drawings and any changes to the drawings are uploaded to ensure that my team is looking at the most current versions. There is also reporting, allowing for the creation of reports in the field, including pictures and safety reports. You name it The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The availability of multiple integrated modules is a vital aspect"
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time 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."
"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 data provided by PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"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."
"Other companies have been using it for years, and it is a very stable platform."
"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."
"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."
 

Cons

"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
"There are some limitations when it comes to attaching receipts. For example, if we are going to buy some non-labor-related assets such as hardware, we are not able to attach the receipts in the Financial Management module in version 9.41."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It takes time to use it. It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
"It would be nice if the tool can reduce its operational cost. It would make it more competitive."
"It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
 

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."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
"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."
"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."
"The tool is cheap and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
