Useful for resource and financial management but needs to change Oracle database
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. It includes a Project dashboard for managing multiple projects simultaneously and program management for overseeing groups of projects. It offers various data metrics. It has project entities for controlling risks, issues, and protections. It can calculate costs based on resource tasks and compare actual and planned costs. The tool has features for scenario comparison, allowing us to optimize scenarios based on various factors. Additionally, we can manually optimize by managing resource availability, creating staffing profiles, and making payments to optimize in any situation.

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."
"There are lots of project management tools that do a good job, but not so many that can manage portfolios and the bigger planning picture."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"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."
"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."
"PPM really has a powerful workflow and form engine that allows us to create workflow complexities and processes, with a good balance between flexibility and best practice that generally allows us to implement any kind of requirements a customer might have."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
 

Cons

"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"I'm not thrilled. I feel like I get the runaround and I have to explain the issue five different times."
"Program Management can be more functional to provide better program management."
"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"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 user experience of the product needs to be improved"
"Budget management could be provided. Reports could be enriched."
"Budget management could be provided."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
 

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."
"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."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"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."
"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."
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
