Useful for resource and financial management but needs to change Oracle database

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. It includes a Project dashboard for managing multiple projects simultaneously and program management for overseeing groups of projects. It offers various data metrics. It has project entities for controlling risks, issues, and protections. It can calculate costs based on resource tasks and compare actual and planned costs. The tool has features for scenario comparison, allowing us to optimize scenarios based on various factors. Additionally, we can manually optimize by managing resource availability, creating staffing profiles, and making payments to optimize in any situation.

Effective project coordination bridges field and office with real-time updates

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The availability of multiple integrated modules is a vital aspect"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."

"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."

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

"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."

More OpenText Project and Portfolio Management pros

"Other companies have been using it for years, and it is a very stable platform."

"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."

"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."

Cons

"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."

"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 was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."

"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management should move their database from Oracle."

"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."

"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."

"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."

"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."

More OpenText Project and Portfolio Management cons

"It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."

"It takes time to use it. It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."

"It would be nice if the tool can reduce its operational cost. It would make it more competitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"It is SaaS without a base fee."

"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"

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

"The tool is cheap and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
