OpenText Project and Portfolio Management and Planview Daptiv compete in the project and portfolio management category. OpenText PPM holds an advantage with its comprehensive features, including what-if analysis and real-time visibility, while Planview Daptiv is praised for its customizable project boards and ease of use.

Features: OpenText PPM impresses with advanced functionalities such as real-time visibility and detailed financial tracking. It provides seamless integrations with external tools like Jira and Microsoft Project, enhancing project management capabilities. Additionally, OpenText PPM offers a comprehensive program management module for better portfolio oversight. Planview Daptiv stands out with its user-friendly project boards, which enable teams to organize tasks visually. It also features highly customizable dashboard views that adapt to different project requirements, making it easier for managers to track progress. Moreover, its flexible pricing model allows organizations to choose plans that fit their budget.

Room for Improvement: OpenText PPM could benefit from improved reporting capabilities and greater resource management flexibility. Users have noted limitations with the mobile user interface and inconsistencies between modules. On the other hand, Planview Daptiv should enhance its project and capacity planning tools and offer more robust reporting features, as current capabilities are perceived to be lacking. Despite advancements, OpenText PPM agile functions may not completely align with some client needs, indicating room for enhancing user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: OpenText PPM is primarily an on-premises solution, requiring considerable initial setup, while Planview Daptiv offers cloud deployment options for easier installation. OpenText's customer support receives mixed reviews; some users experience efficient service, whereas others face delays. Conversely, Planview Daptiv is commended for consistently responsive customer and technical support.

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.

Director of Operations at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve

The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution helps with tech management. It has a work plan similar to Microsoft Project for tracking progress anywhere. It can synchronize with Microsoft Projects for updating and rebooting tasks. They can also assign tasks to team members who can update progress using timesheets without a sheet."

"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."

"The financial management is very extensive, complete and easy to use without too much configuration."

"With PPM allowing us to streamline processes, get them all in one place, and automate handovers and notifications, it saves us between 15 and 20 hours a week on things that we would have otherwise had to do ourselves in emails and other types of coordination."

"Customer service and technical support are excellent and great at helping us when needed."

"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."

"There are lots of project management tools that do a good job, but not so many that can manage portfolios and the bigger planning picture."

More OpenText Project and Portfolio Management pros

"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."

"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."

"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."

"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."

"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."

More Planview Daptiv pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Program Management can be more functional to provide better program management."

"The product releases after 9.3 have many bugs in the Resource Management module."

"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."

"We had bad experience with technical support. They don't do their best to try to help us solve the case."

"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."

More OpenText Project and Portfolio Management cons

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."

"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."

"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."

"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."

More Planview Daptiv cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."

"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"

"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."

"There is an additional cost for product support"

"It is SaaS without a base fee."

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
