Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Broadcom, ServiceNow and others in Project Portfolio Management."Microsoft Project Server helps organizations in collaboration."
"We use Microsoft Project Server for project management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the tool's reporting is very good."
"I found the portfolio management valuable."
"This is a scalable solution. It is easy to set up and to add clusters to your environment."
"The usability is excellent."
"One notable positive aspect is its effective project-tracking capabilities."
"It is well-established, reliable, and compatible."
"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."
"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 Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"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."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"Project Server could be improved by simplifying how tasks are assigned and reviewed on a daily basis."
"It should be more agile and more flexible when it comes to customization."
"Improvements are needed in the technical support process, aiming for a better user experience."
"It needs to be more collaborative from inside the application. It only does project scheduling for me. It would be good if it could do other things and be more collaborative, such as sharing tasks for users. It is not really incorporated into MS Office, so you can't copy-paste stuff. It is on its own, doing its own thing. It is only used for scheduling, and it doesn't work well with anything else."
"When we started using this solution from scratch, we got lost. Microsoft should provide some templates for configurations for certain use cases."
"The price of the product must be improved."
"This is a good product but we have struggled with stability from time to time. The service has stopped intermittently and it has been difficult to find a reason why."
"The check-in, check-out feature makes Microsoft Project Server pretty slow or cumbersome to use."
"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."
"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."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"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."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"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."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
