Saves significant time on demand management and helps accelerate delivery
The ease of customization of the tool means I can support multiple departments in our company. Our users find it easy to use the service and the forms. And the Project Management module is one of the best modules that they work on. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"The portfolio management and the resource management are the key features."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow."
"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."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
"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."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can sometimes be a little inflexible and a bit caustic."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"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."
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
