Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
1.0
Planisware is highly valued in pharma for project management, though opinions differ on its financial benefits and effectiveness.
Sentiment score
5.6
Planview ProjectPlace enhances ROI through streamlined tracking, resource assessment, and improved visibility, though ROI varies with feature exploration.
It is primarily used for the pharma vertical and related fields, and since we were running a full ERP digital transformation project in the life sciences domain, it suited that requirement very well.
Sometimes I feel that the ROI is not optimal because we are totally dependent on Planisware's system stability.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
2.8
Planisware's customer service is enthusiastic yet dependent on costly advanced support, with some feedback noting varied response accuracy.
Sentiment score
6.5
Users have mixed experiences with Planview ProjectPlace support, praising resources but citing issues with service quality and response times.
The support was good, but there's more space for collaboration that we can do internally through Planisware, which was not the case.
We experienced a couple of issues, and they responded and resolved the issues and bugs promptly.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
4.9
Planisware offers stable scalability on resourceful servers, with customization on-premises and strategic modifications for extensive user environments.
Sentiment score
7.0
Planview ProjectPlace scales efficiently, accommodating increased users and projects, offering a collaborative space despite minor technical constraints.
We experienced crashes in the upcoming year, but these mostly occurred on weekends, which minimized the impact on our users.
The scalability of Planisware is good, as when you want to implement changes, you need to manage the process with your collaborators.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.4
Planisware, especially in SaaS, is stable and reliable, with minor bugs, and praised by companies like Pepsico and Ford.
Sentiment score
7.7
Planview ProjectPlace is generally stable, though Indian users report occasional crashes; newer versions address some issues.
They have made significant improvements, but still, there is a long way to go in terms of their flexibility, adaptability, and usability.
Sometimes the ROI is affected because we are totally dependent on Planisware's system stability.
 

Room For Improvement

Planisware needs enhancements in integration, UI/UX, reporting, accessibility, stability, collaboration, flexibility, and third-party system integration.
Planview ProjectPlace needs improved reporting, UI updates, better integration, and enhanced performance for competitive functionality and user experience.
Better integrations to JIRAs and perhaps open APIs for task management would be super beneficial.
The reports should be improved because all companies now need reporting, and with tools such as Grafana or Tableau, Planisware needs to add interfaces for data lakes since all companies require this.
We have experienced crashes in Planisware and system slowdowns.
 

Setup Cost

Planisware is a costly tool with licensing, setup, support, and training expenses, requiring strategic management commitment.
Planview ProjectPlace offers moderate costs and functionalities but requires staffing, with confusing licensing models and potential unexpected expenses.
 

Valuable Features

Planisware provides robust project management with resource planning, data integration, Agile support, and built-in BI tools for enhanced decision-making.
Planview ProjectPlace boosts collaboration with real-time updates, flexible workspaces, and seamless integration, enhancing project visibility and resource management.
The tools communicate with other tools, making it effective, and when we have a new resource, we can add it and send it to the resource management team, who can view it in Planisware.

Efficient project management and resource allocation, but agile capabilities need improvement
One drawback with Planisware is that it doesn't have good features for test management or agile; it lacks many concepts in agile such as retrospective, velocity planning, and backlog view. Some features are still missing because they have introduced these agile modules only in version seven and are still improving that product, so I see a good roadmap on those modules from Planisware's end. I find Planisware's collaboration tools to be good but not great as they still have certain restrictions. It can interact with Jira, it can interact with ADO, and you can have APIs created to interact with your internal HR systems or other systems for data flow. However, the error messages or fail scenarios don't provide good visibility of what is happening, why errors occur, or why something is not working. Regarding scenario planning, I haven't explored much on that side. We have the strategic module, strategic planning module, but we haven't explored much on the other side, so I don't have much experience or exposure to scenario planning.
Eduardo Maya - PeerSpot reviewer
A complete and useful solution, but it should be easy to use, and they should provide fast support
Their support team should provide the answers fast because it impacts our daily operations. We use the app every day. We have about 70 projects managed in the app, but their responses are too slow. They can take three or four days to analyze a problem. We have a connection-related problem, which is impacting our daily operations, but we have had the same status for the last two months. It is not easy. The deployment of the application and its functionalities are not easy. It is a complex process to create accounts, names, and catalogs. There should be more operational reports. They have a set of internal reports, but they can't be customized. You don't have the permissions to configure your own reports, which is a very big issue. Currently, you have to ask for permission in order to configure simple filters. You have to ask a third party to configure it. It is expensive, and it also takes a lot of time.
