Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else.""We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources.""The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI.""The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution.""It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models.""There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."

Cons
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive.""Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations.""The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution.""They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning.""More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration.""The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."

"We use the desktop version of RationalPlan, and It seems some desktop software has the ability to share a document as a web view. This would be a nice feature allowing us to share our plans with clients without needing additional software. This may be something that is offered in the RationalPlan cloud plan."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."
  • "There are training and certification costs."
  • "The solution is expensive and support is an extra cost. There are three license types to choose from, and we only pay for support and cloud services depending on our needs."
  • "It comes with a high cost."
