"The most valuable feature of the solution is its flexibility...The initial setup of Notion is easy."
"The product has a valuable feature for databases. It has a table and a calendar view and saves various documents in the system."
"I like the ease of customization from an admin perspective. I'm really excited about some of the things that are coming in version 10.0.3 as far as what admins are able to do."
"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."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"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 portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"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."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"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 product could be integrated with external platforms."
"One area for improvement in the solution is the absence of integrated charts."
"The linked view of database, along with the sharing and permission settings, are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"Notion's UI needs improvement."
"Adding more color options to the application would enhance its usability and flexibility, allowing users to better customize their content"
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"Notion's UI could be better."
"There could be an automation feature included in the product."
"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."
"The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions. The UI is not good."
"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."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"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."
"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."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
