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

"The resource capacity planning is the most valuable feature because you can evaluate your team's capacity by team and what projects they're working on and you can forecast easily by team."

"It gives us flexibility in configuring assignments. We can do both Agile Teams and non-Agile Teams. This flexibility affects our ability to meet our company's particular needs by allowing us to work in a hybrid model, some Agile Teams, and some non-Agile Teams."

"Enterprise One has enabled us to eliminate Excel. We don't track financials anymore in an Excel format, which the company was doing before. Even now, being a new portfolio manager four months in, I'm able to just pick up my project. I'm able to see where I am right now. That improvised it to be more automated. The only missing part is the integration between tools. I'm not able to see my full schedule, but I know what are my important milestones are like watching the financials and all that stuff."

"We have a fairly good picture of time tracking."

"Another good thing is that we can create custom reports, which is great. If I created a custom report, a tile that tells me how many people have logged in today. We currently have a little under 2000 users, and that's only users, we actually have integrations, that we created a custom form that sends hours directly to Planview. They're not using Planview directly, but they're sending their hours to Planview through an API."

"The overall interface is very easy to use. It puts together strategy and execution across all your investments."

"We do a lot of big projects which are pretty expensive to structure the product development around and see the progress. Every time we start a project, we have to expense the spends for certain amounts. We need some baselines, like predictive versus actual."

"Planview Management integrates seamlessly with other tools and systems used within the organization, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and collaboration platforms."

More Planview Portfolios pros

"The product has a lot of integrations."

"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 installation was extremely straightforward."

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

"Trello's most valuable feature is its visuals. You can customize your board with covers and pictures. There are no restrictions in workflow columns as in Jira. It is a powerful solution to organize work. Jira is process-oriented and restrictive."

"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."

"There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product."

"It has a very modern-looking interface."

More Trello pros

Cons

"It could do with a quicker response time for some reports or portfolios."

"The only area that I can see currently needing improvement is just the modernization of the look and feel of it."

"Their off-shore support is something new that they're laying out and the team just needed some development in terms of skill and experience."

"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting is not immediately useful and although it can be configured or customized, there are still improvements that can be made."

"We have required more time from our resource managers to spend time in the tool. The adoption has been slower than we would have hoped. So, I would think from a rollout perspective, if Planview could help us with material which gets non-Planview users or previously light Planview users to become more heavy users of the system, then this would help us with the rollout."

"Sometimes within the application, when you pull a report, it takes awhile performance-wise for the reports to pull up."

"Support is still a challenge. We find it challenging more due to the responsiveness and getting a case or ticket assigned to an analyst. That's what I was just doing. I was following up on an email that we opened last week. We haven't heard anything, so following up on that."

"While Planview Management provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities, further enhancements could include more advanced data visualization options, predictive analytics features, and customizable dashboards to provide deeper insights into project performance and trends."

More Planview Portfolios cons

"Trello was available as a standalone version that does not allow you to collaborate with other people."

"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications."

"The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."

"The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors."

"Trello has become complex over the years."

"There aren't as many tracking tools."

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

"Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS."

More Trello cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."

More Planview Portfolios pricing and cost advice

"The tool's pricing is average."

"The product is cheap."

"Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."

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

"The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."

"It is free."

"We are currently using the open-source option."

"We didn't need to pay for the solution."
