User-friendly, cost-effective, and efficient
The most valuable feature of nTask is its user-friendly interface. Its simplicity makes it easy to navigate, and the consistent structure across modules means the tool guides you intuitively. This is especially beneficial for those who aren't tech-savvy or haven't worked with complex tools before. Being part of a small team, cost efficiency is crucial for us, and nTask fits well within our budget while providing all the necessary features. Additionally, we find the Gantt chart feature particularly useful for planning fundraisers with various task dependencies. The reporting feature ensures accuracy in our financial work. Being a small team, we appreciate nTask's customization options in the business plan.

PPM SaaS Application Manager at a government with 10,001+ employees
Gives management a cohesive place for tracking business strategies and goals, but cosmetic aspects need work
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. I also really like how the program portfolio and project management roll up into each other. That's going to be a really good feature for our organization because we have a lot of things that are related, and it's nice to have things under one umbrella where we can go back to them. I also like the fact that it's not very difficult to integrate with other applications, as long as you have the right people with the right skill sets on board. I have seen us integrate with a couple of other cloud solutions and that was done fairly quickly. It's the ease of use and the ability to customize PPM that really work in our favor. Another useful aspect is that the solution gives us a single place where teams can track and measure progress towards their goals. That it is very important from an upper management perspective. Part of the reason that they're using the application is to have a cohesive place for tracking business strategies and organizational goals, and to only implement projects that line up with them.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of nTask is its user-friendly interface."
"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."
"Demand Management and reporting are the most valuable features."
"The availability of multiple integrated modules is a vital aspect"
"Project management, time and resource management, demand management, and workflow automation are the most critical and important modules that can make the PPM usage successful."
"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 financial management is very extensive, complete and easy to use without too much configuration."
"The most valuable feature is resource planning or resource management."
"Recent Program Management lifecycle, Program Management aggregation views due to interactive UI (selection of risks, issues, and changes in Program Overview) and “flash look & feel" of this functional chunk, which is different in comparison to other parts of HPE PPM."
 

Cons

"nTask currently lacks a direct chat or communication feature."
"Security could be increased."
"Technical support could be improved. Support is a competitive issue in the market with this tool, at least for medium sized customers."
"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
"Sometimes, yes. Especially in a Windows environment."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management could improve in several areas such as portfolio planning and resource allocation."
"Program Management can be more functional to provide better program management."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"A large organization will find Micro Focus PPM affordable, but it may be a bit costly for a small or medium-sized company. The license is based on the number of users."
"Now, we also received an increase in the support license prices, without any advanced notice. At this point, switching to unify all our licensing under HPE and customer support has been poor."
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"Support and license management are two hurdles for us. Every time we purchase new licenses, it has taken us half a year to implement those."
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
