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

"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"Demand Management and reporting are the most valuable features."
"Demand, Dashboard, and Reporting are the most powerful modules for our customers."
"It gives a more organized approach for managing the projects and helps us since many things can be automated using this tool, which were previously done manually."
"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."
"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."
"Able to manage multimillion projects and resources more effectively."
"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 integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."
"ONE2TEAM revolutionizes the way of working: The cloud based solution for project and portfolio management with very strong collaboration functionality lets executives and team members access their work environment anytime, anywhere to monitor program status, act, and complete a personalized checklist of tasks without the need to send emails or create presentations, simply working together in a dashboard."
"It makes it more fun to work with a modern designed and easy-to-use solution as a team and not add or analyze data alone. Internal, external, home office, remote work, desktop, mobile (available on iOS and Android), are always connected to One2Team."
"I find Sciforma's customizability valuable."
 

Cons

"The HPE PPM license prices are a bit high. HPE PPM does not support agile management."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management should move their database from Oracle."
"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."
"I'm not thrilled. I feel like I get the runaround and I have to explain the issue five different times."
"There are some limitations when it comes to attaching receipts. For example, if we are going to buy some non-labor-related assets such as hardware, we are not able to attach the receipts in the Financial Management module in version 9.41."
"Budget management could be provided."
"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."
"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."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved."
"The report developer needs a bit of streamlining."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"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,"
"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."
"The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."
