Featured Review
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.""Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers.""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.""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.""Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes.""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 portfolio management and the resource management are the key features.""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 most valuable feature of Trello stems from the fact of how easy it was with it to see large visual aspects, especially when people were getting their workflow in order.""Project management and work collaboration solution with amazing scalability and stability. Its user interface is modern and easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality.""The solution is great for project management.""The installation was extremely straightforward.""It offers a very solid service alongside its innovative features and capabilities.""The user interface is great. I find it very easy to create cards.""The product helps with the management of projects.""Trello is very easy to install and set up. It is also easy to use. Its interface is excellent."

Cons
"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.""The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic.""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.""Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses.""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.""Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc.""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.""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."

"The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems.""It would be great if there was a tour for new users to explain how this solution works. Using this solution for the first time can feel complicated.""Reporting features could be improved.""The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited.""In the card area, you should not be able to modify so easily what is already written, as this can cause loss of information.""Pricing can be improved.""It is not a scalable product."

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."
  • "It is SaaS without a base fee."
  • "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."
  • "We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
  • "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."
  • More OpenText Project and portfolio Management Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
  • "I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."
  • "I am tinkering with the free version."
  • "The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
  • "Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
  • "The pricing for this solution is reasonable."
  • "We are currently using the open-source option."
  • "Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."

    Top Answer: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.
    Top Answer:All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation.
    Top Answer:Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first. The recording session works well, but introducing dynamic control can cause glitches and loss of control. To address this… more »
