A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects

The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.

Customizable labels and the ability to modify cards streamline task management and save time

There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things. I would like to see that improved. Sometimes they add new features, which can be either welcome or odd. More control over email notifications would also be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like that it's an enterprise environment. I can look across everything that's going on and have a sense of what is going on within the organization."

"Enterprise One provides a variety of types of resource assignments for assigning work to people. It's very easy and straightforward to configure these assignments. Planview allows us to see the entire workforce. We can see where our skill sets of people are, what they're working on, and allows us to make informed business decisions based on priority."

"Its view into resource capacity and availability absolutely help us manage work. We can't plan out projects for delivery until we know if we have resources available to deliver them. That's been really critical. We look at our projects and see what availability of resources we have. That helps us to determine when we can start new work."

"I would say it works really well for forecasting remaining effort, especially in terms of forecasting the dollar amounts. We've gotten pretty good at adjusting rates because we have a lot of contract workers."

"We can easily see which functions are overcapacity. Before, we did not have visibility into that."

"The biggest impact for using Planview currently would be to understand the true costs of projects. We are trying to get to a point where not only do we take into account technical costs, but what the business cost is. Trying to integrate our business right now into Planview is helping us identify the true cost of the investments that we make so we can try and understand their value."

"We can view a project both at the top level and dig into the particularities. It's given us greater visibility into the work itself."

"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."

More Planview Portfolios pros

"The solution is great for project management."

"I like how user-friendly, visual, and intuitive it is. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure out how to make it work for you."

"Trello definitely saves time and makes things a lot easier, except when it's buggy."

"I like Trello's speed. It is more user-friendly compared to Jira. Jira is technical, whereas the management can use Trello."

"The most valuable feature of Trello for us is the user-friendly interface."

"The most valuable feature of Trello stems from the fact of how easy it was with it to see large visual aspects, especially when people were getting their workflow in order."

"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."

"While Nasuni has a learning curve, it becomes user-friendly once mastered."

Cons

"I would suggest for the request module that they open up the fields and columns so it's like we are doing our work in the work module. You can't do that with today. We also have to make sure that the fields can go both ways with the request and work modules. Including fields in the column sets would be helpful, because today they only use attributes."

"Its support to legacy paying customers is something PlanView is not handling well. We were unable to implement due to lack of professional support by PlanView. "

"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."

"The solution is stable. However, it's so robust, there's so much data, that it has the tendency to lag."

"The reporting capability and access to the fields for our system administrators to have access to the data without having to pay Enterprise One to get the data that's needed to create custom reports for management to create reports need improvement."

"We've been using it for a while, so it's about maturity. It's about being able to build out things in Agile groups and teams and some of that. Then really trying to drive into the direction of Lean Portfolio Management and more Agile program management, I think is where we're heading."

"We had issues with the data rephrasing."

"I would like to be able to integrate with Oracle to supplement what we're currently doing with reporting."

More Planview Portfolios cons

"It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems."

"We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful."

"Sometimes, I find it challenging to manage the checklists."

"Trello was a little complicated initially because we didn't know how to use it, create a product backlog, or define the work items."

"Trello has become complex over the years."

"In terms of improvements, adding more artificial intelligence and making it more user-friendly in terms of design could be beneficial."

"I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members."

"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."

"I don't know about the actual pricing. I have not come across any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The licensing part is a bit costly in comparison with the other available PPM tools."

"We recently did a new bundle for all of Enterprise One. It includes some of the newer pieces, like Projectplace and LeanKit. It bundled our CTM in with it as well. I think the total came out to be about $900,000 a year. This is for unlimited licenses."

"We have unlimited licenses for all of our functionalities. Since we went global, we went with that model."

"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."

"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."

"In the time that I've used it, we've doubled up the amount of dollars on our intended projects."

More Planview Portfolios pricing and cost advice

"The basic paid version is pretty expensive"

"The tool's pricing is average."

"The product is cheap."

"The pricing starts from around $6 per license for a subscription, and there might be higher subscriptions available, possibly around $12 per month."

"We pay $10 per user per month for the product."

"Trello has a really good price."

"I am tinkering with the free version."

"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
