workflow streamlines processes and ensures activities are completed properly
The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow. The workflow is amazing and highly effective in streamlining processes. Additionally, it is used to ensure that activities are completed properly, as part of the typical project and portfolio management. It meets my needs as a good project and portfolio management tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"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 portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"Demand, Dashboard, and Reporting are the most powerful modules for our customers."
"The availability of multiple integrated modules is a vital aspect"
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"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."
"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."
"Real-time collaboration, invoice generation, task delegation, and file management features have become valuable features for our organization."
"The primary uses for this tool are task delegation, generating reports, and on-time invoices."
"It increased productivity and timely delivery of projects within a set budget."
 

Cons

"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"Security could be increased."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, yes. Especially in a Windows environment."
"I'm not thrilled. I feel like I get the runaround and I have to explain the issue five different times."
"The timely reminders could be reduced from one mail a day to three mails in a week. This tends to fill up our inboxes a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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