"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"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."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"The most valuable feature of Trello stems from the fact of how easy it was with it to see large visual aspects, especially when people were getting their workflow in order."

"Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"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."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"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."
"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."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."
"Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline."
"Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first."
"The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Many more categories could be enabled."
