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 biggest impact has been getting all these global groups into one space so we can even have intelligent conversations about what are we trying to accomplish. Before, it was just different regions doing whatever. Now, we're all talking the same language, and that's good."

"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 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 maps back to our SDLC process pretty well. I'm able to see the stage of where things are at. We also use Azure DevOps for all of our requirements and our coding."

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

"The solution’s integrated product portfolio has transformed our organization’s delivery because people are a lot more accountable. When you have no accountability, then people don't always deliver the way that you want them to. Once you get accountability, they know that somebody is watching and the way that they manage their work changes quite a bit."

"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."

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

More Planview Portfolios pros

"What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done."

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

"You receive notifications if mentioned on a card."

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

"It can be used online or as an application from anywhere."

"Trello's user interface is really good, making it easy for us to maintain and monitor."

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

"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."

More Trello pros

Cons

"Recently, we have gotten on a newer version. We're currently on version 15. Some of the things that we've been running into roadblocks on, it looks like the solutions will be coming out in versions 17 or 18. So, we have to upgrade before somethings can get completed."

"We had issues with the data rephrasing."

"Configuring the UI in the content management system is too elaborate and too time-consuming."

"The UI needs improvement. The UI should have more possibilities for users who are not specialized in using Planview. At the moment, it is more of a technical UI. I would like it to be an open user UI."

"When it comes to reporting there are some challenges with integration."

"There can be improvement on the sense of urgency because a lot of times we've exhausted everything that we can, and now, we're reaching out. So, it isn't a, "Well, have you tried to reboot this?" We've already done everything. Once we put in a ticket, there should be more of a sense of urgency on it."

"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 think the capabilities are there, but it seems difficult for me to even create a report as I am not a Planview technical expert. It is not particularly intuitive. It slows us down in reporting the big picture to management."

More Planview Portfolios cons

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

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

"I would appreciate seeing how much time spend on each specific ticket."

"As a team board it did not work well for us."

"Trello wasn't a tool that offered lightning-fast speed like users wanted it to be for them."

"The solution could be priced cheaper."

"It would be good if we could update the project status by email without logging into Trello."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"Our licensing fees are approximately $50,000 USD annually."

More Planview Portfolios pricing and cost advice

"The tool's pricing is average."

"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."

"Trello was free when we used it, but if we wanted many people looped in, we did need to pay a fee."

"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."

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

"The solution pricing is okay. The pricing is subscription-based and depends on the features that you need. If you need more features then you will need to pay more. You can use the basic features to lead your project management."

"UiPath is cost-efficient."

"Trello has a really good price."
