"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."
"The interface is cluttered with a lot of names and areas. It may not be user friendly enough for a first timer."
"ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management must improve its interface, which is not very interactive or user-friendly compared to other tools like Zendesk. The real-time reporting feature doesn't help much in our decision-making process. It's quite complex to use and lacks the rich features needed for visualization. Overall, I find it to be very poor."
"The timing reporting module, and how it's used is a bit difficult to understand. Everything related to project management is quite extensive. It needs to be simplified. At first, our users didn't want to use it, because it seems a bit complex."
"The product does not give us the freedom to capture all the instances, test cases, and evidence."
"The portfolio management tool is not as good as DevOps or Jira because it requires a Russian site and BitLocker to train users or run projects."
"A major improvement we would like to see is definitely around agile management."
"The only issue for us is the pricing. It’s quite high in comparison with the competition."
"When we import a really big project with a lot of tasks on it, we face some issues with dependencies. The links between tasks are not working very well. There is definitely room for improvement there. Microsoft Project, in my opinion, is the best option for such a use case."
