"This is a scalable solution. It is easy to set up and to add clusters to your environment."
"Microsoft Project Server is simple to use."
"The stability of the 2019 version is quite good."
"The scheduling feature is the most useful."
"The usability is excellent."
"The key things are managing interactions, resource allocation, resource-leveling (enterprise) and as a collaborative tool, because we use it across multiple projects at a time."
"It is well-established, reliable, and compatible."
"Microsoft Project Server is a scalable solution."
"Whenever we have issues, there is always someone ready to help us. Their people are knowledgeable and responsive. They get to tickets quickly. Just three or four weeks ago, we were having issues with getting data into Planview. We submitted a ticket and the turnaround was probably 45 minutes to get a response."
"The resource management and assignment features are valuable. The timesheet management is also valuable because that is a requirement for us. So, the ability to see timesheet forecasting and timesheet actual submission from resources has been very useful and valuable to us."
"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool."
"The financial planning capabilities are very useful. We have integration for an SAP system, and so we load financial data from SAP into Planview for prior months. And then we use the forecasting capabilities to get a complete picture of the cost of a specific project. The financial management is very useful."
"It gives us flexibility in configuring assignments. We can do both Agile Teams and non-Agile Teams. This flexibility affects our ability to meet our company's particular needs by allowing us to work in a hybrid model, some Agile Teams, and some non-Agile Teams."
"The integration stuff from tool to tool, like Projectplace to Planview, to manage projects is the most valuable feature. It keeps all our tasks up-to-date. It closely follows up with everything, which is really cool."
"It has been effective for our delivery. It's given us much better visibility into what is being delivered and when."
"The solution view into resource capacity and availability helps us to manage work."
"Configuring the platform does not require the writing of any code."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution should be made more collaborative."
"It would be better if the solution had some more training or resources available for a person who is new to Microsoft Project Server."
"Work needs to be done on collaboration with SharePoint."
"Permission management needs improvement."
"When a lot of users logged onto the site, it took a big toll on the service. Therefore, there is a scalability issue."
"We think that calculations are not working correctly, and there is a need to enter data a couple of times in order to give the correct calculations."
"The initial setup was complex."
"I would like a bit more flexibility, as far as the configuration, and have additional capabilities to configure, making it more flexible for our use."
"Its reporting needs to be improved. My main complaint when it comes to Planview is that it is good to maintain all the data but to actually use the information that is in it, you actually have to use a different tool. We use Power BI. So, we pull all the information, and then we use a Power BI dashboard to stage or look at the information."
"There are some issues with how long it takes to load the data to Planview, It just depends on what your setup is. If there was a way Planview could maybe make the loading faster, in case you do have a lot of things going on with your setup."
"The technical people are very competent, but there is so much turnover in the people that we talk to, and that's frustrating. They will say, "We can make this work." Suddenly, that guy has left, and we have no one. Then, we have to start all over."
"The content management definitely needs to improve. We don't really use content management for projects inside Enterprise One. We have actually switched to a SharePoint site. We have a feed from Enterprise One every night of all the projects that are created."
"The solution needs to be better at accepting new ideas for upcoming releases."
"The financial piece of the tool could be better. While it may have to do with the complexity of the work that we do, it seems that the tool should be able to drill down a bit deeper into the financial area."
"I think some of the administrative aspects of it could be a little easier, especially when it comes to designing reports. The reporting coming out of it could be a little bit better."
"A lot of companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, so more such features would benefit this product."
