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 portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"Demand, project and time management parts of the tool are the most valuable."
"The availability of multiple integrated modules is a vital aspect"
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"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."
"Demand, Dashboard, and Reporting are the most powerful modules for our customers."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"I recommend this solution; it is very good for simple projects."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management could improve in several areas such as portfolio planning and resource allocation."
"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."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"I'm not thrilled. I feel like I get the runaround and I have to explain the issue five different times."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"Technical support could be improved. Support is a competitive issue in the market with this tool, at least for medium sized customers."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
