We performed a comparison between OpenText Project and portfolio Management and Teamwork based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"It is very important that the platform gives us a single place where we can measure progress toward goals, as we have weekly meetings with the CTO. We present these consolidated overviews and dashboards to him so that he has an overview of all the projects and can see the status of all the problems that we have and we are working on."
"I like the automated calculations, especially on the resource side. When project managers enter their resource requirements into their staffing profiles, they are automatically translated into labor forecast calculations. PPM automates a significant portion of the forecast calculations. Timesheets are also built-in. We automatically process time sheets and bill them accordingly."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"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."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"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."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"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."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"I would also like to see improvement in PPM's reporting and alerts. PPM has reporting capabilities, including HTML reports and portlets. But a majority of clients will build their own reporting platforms, or they will use external reporting platforms like Tableau and QlikView."
"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."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
