Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve
The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Easy to tag people and has a form system to collect information but cannot work in multiple channels simultaneously
There are several areas where Wrike could improve. First, it doesn't allow accessing multiple channels simultaneously, which would be useful. Transferring data from one project to another is also difficult. It would be easier to work on parallel tasks across different projects. I've noticed others facing similar issues when I check the chat on their website. The tool should also improve coordination between external stakeholders and collaborators. It should also integrate financial features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."
"I find Wrike's form system very valuable. I can share forms with my collaborators, and they can fill them out, providing me with the necessary information. Another useful feature is the communication platform, which makes it easy to tag someone and communicate efficiently. Additionally, the integration with Microsoft Office is great. I can create a card on Wrike directly from my MS Teams chat, which is convenient."
"Weekly meetings and collaboration between different departments have become much more productive."
"The ability to assign and reassign tasks to multiple stakeholders, time tracking, project completion."
"The improvement was quickly seen in project planning and execution because all people involved know which tasks are assigned and to whom."
"Customer Service: Awesome: 10 out of 10. From how they set their website so that you can find the info, and look at videos to immediate and thorough response in the live chat."
"Wrike provides us with this system in an intuitive, robust platform that is beautiful to look at."
"The most valuable feature of Wrike is the tag functionality."
"All I can elaborate on here is that we were able to close more projects than expected and save the company thousands of dollars."
 

Cons

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."
"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"Possibly another user group, the collaborators cant do enough and they dont have a program it seems to have a ton of users."
"The product needs to send direct emails to customers updating the latest aspects since it is better to hear directly."
"Better ways to establish private communication between users vs collaborators."
"Free version is very limited, but Pro version that includes Gantt charts is reasonable for SMBs."
"It would be great if they could develop more reporting."
"The main concern was about the management of task and how easy it is to use the tool."
"One thing that we are looking for in Wrike is a better workflow. Because we can only move the status of tasks, we can't really manage workflow and send a task to a specific person."
"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."
"Wrike is very expensive, and its price is almost $1,400."
"Wrike is expensive."
"Wrike is not so expensive, but I don't know exactly how it compares with other tools. Wrike might not be so cheap when we are using it for a lot of users."
