We performed a comparison between OpenText Project and portfolio Management and Zoho Projects based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"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."
"Overall, they have a very strong workflow management capability. That's a very strong feature because then you can model any process easily. Whether it is a demand management process, a pipeline management process, or your project delivery methodology, it is much easier because of their workflow management capability."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"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."
"While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects is all integrated into one. We don't have to start using multiple tools, such as Projects, CRM, Marketing, Automation, Finance, and setting up Meetings. It's all in one solution. I don't have to go to multiple different platforms to have all the features I need."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"We can customize the tool."
"We were able to track each department's work and what they were doing inside the actual department. Gantt charts are useful to track departmental progress and operation, or we are that item stuff."
"The timeline features are excellent."
"The product is very easy to understand."
"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."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"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."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
"The solution should improve on integration and customization."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
"It is not easy to drag and drop a task from one person to the other. I think the resolution for the issue is work in progress. The product's stability can be improved."
