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

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

"The portfolio and technology management are well built."

"The resource management and assignment features are valuable. The timesheet management is also valuable because that is a requirement for us. So, the ability to see timesheet forecasting and timesheet actual submission from resources has been very useful and valuable to us."

"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool. It affects our project management because our project management uses Planview to monitor their daily work. Every night it loads our SAP system and then they monitor the daily work. They use Planview as a full planning and monitoring tool."

"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."

"With the lifecycles, it helps us step through our processes easier. We'll take a process and create it in Visio, then we'll go and implemented in Planview. Anytime that we have to do a new process, this is what we use. We just step it through the lifecycles and the configure screens are very easy to use. The fields that you need are easy to use."

"The flexibility on offer is very helpful in meeting the organization's needs."

"The most valuable features are the control and visibility that you have for portfolio management in terms of projects and capacity planning for resources along with strategies and outcomes, etc. It's so easy to access information for sharing analytics and reporting."

More Planview Portfolios pros

"It is easy for users to start working with Trello because it has a user-friendly interface."

"I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities."

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

"Another feature that impressed me is the clear Kanban board, as it provides a clear view of to-to tasks, assuring the team not to forget anything."

"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around the mobile version of the product that was easy to use."

"We found that the solution was available on multiple devices, has a great user experience, is simple to use, and it is available on multiple channels."

"I really enjoy the drag-and-drop feature."

"The user interface is great. I find it very easy to create cards."

More Trello pros

Cons

"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."

"We don't use the Progression feature. We will use it at some point in time. Until then, we want to have a way to set time to help decide what's in the past, present, and future. It is one of the things we've been discussing with Planview."

"The biggest room for improvement are the scripted dialogues. The scripted dialogues are a logic that you set up to force a certain workflow or process to happen. It's very old in respect that there are no clauses that you can apply to that logic. That definitely can use a lot of room for improvement."

"When I started working with Planview, I didn't know anything about project or resource management. I had to learn everything: the admin side, then the user side of it. Probably, in the beginning, I would implement in the blueprint or workshops more demos. A live demo of how the system works because we would like a little deeper dive in how the application works for us to understand what we need to provide, what we are doing, what we will be doing. Because in the beginning, it was so overwhelming, and we didn't know anything about the tool."

"I think that the user interface needs some getting used to. It's not immediately intuitive. That's potentially room for improvement. I think also that an organization needs to have good support from some senior management to get something like Planview established."

"We had issues with the data rephrasing."

"I think some of the administrative aspects of it could be a little easier, especially when it comes to designing reports. The reporting coming out of it could be a little bit better."

"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."

More Planview Portfolios cons

"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."

"It would be great if there was a tour for new users to explain how this solution works. Using this solution for the first time can feel complicated."

"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."

"Reporting features could be improved."

"The product is not easy to use."

"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."

"The mobile version of Trello can be improved upon."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."

"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."

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

"Planview is a little pricey. From a licensing perspective, for just a simple timesheet user who does nothing in the system but reports time, the licensing is a little pricey, but you have to look at it from what it is that you get. We have 6,000 users, and I don't manage the system at all. I just have to do add them to the system. The servers, maintenance, OS levels, security patching for the OS, and all other things are not something that we maintain. So, you have to look at it from an operational perspective. It is not just the product itself. A holistic view has to be taken when you look at the product and how you're going to support it. I would have to hire an entire operation staff to bring it in-house, and at the end of the day, that might cost me more."

"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."

More Planview Portfolios pricing and cost advice

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

"The tool's pricing is average."

"I use the free version of Trello, which is sufficient for my day to day use."

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

"Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."

"We are using the open-source version of Trello."

"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."
