Project Manager at 3M
Centralized planning has improved resource visibility and supports data‑driven financial decisions
The best features Planview Portfolios offers are visibility enhancement, robust system performance, and comprehensive resource management. This enhanced visibility in Planview Portfolios ensures that all users can easily track progress, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions to optimize workflow efficiency. When discussing robust system performance, the system's robust performance in meeting our various work requirements effectively and efficiently stands out. It is very stable and reliable, contributing to a seamless user experience, which enables users to focus on their tasks without disruptions. I also love the financial breakdown, planning and prioritization, and attribute collection on projects in Planview Portfolios. Planview Portfolios has positively impacted my organization since I started using it. It has enabled me to gain insights into the full scope of work consuming resources. I am able to know where the resources are being consumed more, especially which resources are consuming the most. I have been able to leverage resources management and resource time reporting, which enabled the generation of $90 million in annual revenue through labor billing to customers.

Excellent portfolio management SaaS - strategy, savings, visibility
I haven't used the product for over a year, so this could be out of date but entering information was somewhat cumbersome. PPM systems in general are a challenge to keep populated with current information. The business priority of portfolio visibility must be communicated to users and reinforced that the project doesn't exist unless it's updated in the system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The portfolio management gives you a view of all the projects as well as all the information about the total amount of effort, time, and cost being spent on the projects. It gives the organization how much money and effort should be spent towards projects so they can budget and do better capacity planning in the next fiscal year. It gives them visibility into their resources and if they have capacity."
"Planview Portfolios has increased our ability to monitor and guide processes, process health, and compliance automatically without manual intervention."
"Having that being sort of a single source of truth for the risks and for the resource forecast, that's been very useful for us."
"Planview Portfolios offers us a single source of truth and enables a faster, more reliable decision-making tool."
"It provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of the types of work."
"Troux has an easily extensible meta model and UI which other tools don't have."
"When it comes to managing project plans, Enterprise One is awesome at enabling us to see what stage work is at."
"The dashboards and reports that we provide out of Planview are priceless when compared to any other tool."
"Very configurable software; almost any stage-gate process can be mapped and defined in the software giving excellent visibility to your project portfolio."
 

Cons

"Allowing users to have a link that opens a specific sub-tab or folder is a challenge."
"The administrative tabs are very confusing, especially in terms of configuring screens and users. It's not very intuitive versus many other applications that I have worked in the past. I have to go to separate sections than I think I have to in order to get to the place that I need to adjust something."
"The administrative tabs are very confusing, especially in terms of configuring screens and users."
"Customer service is hit and miss. Most of their support team will not respond to requests for real-time conversations and the gap in email responses drags what turn out to be simple solutions into days-long aggravations."
"The configuration for the front-end user can be a little antiquated and it needs a facelift."
"Our version is definitely set up a bit more waterfall world. It would be better if some of the agile features were more in the standard product."
"Even though Enterprise One is easy and user-friendly, it could provide better training like a demo. Providing more tutorials or sessions would really help."
"I would like to be able to integrate with Oracle to supplement what we're currently doing with reporting."
"Entering information was somewhat cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."
"We overbought our licenses. We looked at our needs three to four years down the road and tried based our contract on that. However, we were over aggressive. We use about a third of the licenses that we have. We're looking to adjust the makeup so we can start utilizing the amount of money that we are spending. Right now, we're overspending, and my organization is not seeing the value in Planview because we are paying so much for licenses that we're not using."
"The licensing part is a bit costly in comparison with the other available PPM tools."
"I think all in we are at $33,000 a year and that includes Projectplace and Planview. We used to have the integration to JIRA, but we don't pay for that anymore."
"We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."
"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $50,000 USD annually."
"With the costs, they were very understanding. Knowing that we were an existing customer, they were very much willing to work with us to make sure that we were able to transition to Enterprise One from PPM Pro."
