Mark Hillman - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly interface, but the reporting could be improved
The reporting is poor and requires improvement. The tiles and exception-based activities in the application are sufficient to get by. However, when it comes to producing executive reports, MI reports, or any other type of reporting, we must exit Planview and work offline. We have been working with them to improve on that, as well as using some of the Power BI capabilities that have been available for a while, but it's still more difficult than it should be. In the next release, I would like to be able to use the data in the tool to gain insight much more easily.

Agile project management benefits from integrated tools for small and medium-sized teams
I use Zoho Sprints for Agile project management. It supports Scrum and Kanban frameworks, allowing me to work with epics and user stories, and manage projects effectively. It is suitable for software industries that adopt Agile methodologies in their projects Zoho Sprints can be integrated with…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It has helped improve governance, mostly. People want to know where their money's going. Projects sponsors need to know what we're spending money on and what our burn rate is. Planview can give that to you straightaway."
"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."
"We can easily see which functions are overcapacity. Before, we did not have visibility into that."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."
"It gives us the vast ability to churn out-of-the-box reports and have an overview about approach rates and resource utilization."
"The Kanban board has really helped us be more agile and we can keep track of everything that is ongoing."
"The most valuable features are scheduling, resource management, and, from a project perspective, the functions like issues that change orders. They are valuable because, from a project management perspective, we use the workflows that we build for project management and do active risk management and issue management for the projects that we want for our agencies."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"It is a bit of a rigid system."
"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."
"It is not an end-user-friendly product, and that's really the biggest thing. The hardest or the biggest hurdle I've ever had to face was adoption. I did the installation of the HP product in 2011. The company used it from 2011 to 2015, and the adoption was very high. When I was given the Planview product, adoption was very low. It wasn't as extensively used. We actually had people who wanted to go back to HP PPM because the interface of Planview was so broken, and it still is to some degree. So, it is not user-friendly. It doesn't flow the way a project manager thinks. What we did with HP PPM was a lot more manual programming. It wasn't as nice in terms of the interface, and it wasn't as pretty, but you could design it and build it so that everything flows with the way you worked, but Planview doesn't quite do that. There are a lot of screens. You have to jump back and forth. There are so many different places you have to go to just to do some basic tasks. That's the biggest thing that has really hindered adoption."
"The lack of templates harden the initial learning curve."
"The solution needs to be better at accepting new ideas for upcoming releases."
"Sometimes within the application, when you pull a report, it takes awhile performance-wise for the reports to pull up."
"The only area that I can see currently needing improvement is just the modernization of the look and feel of it."
"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."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have unlimited licenses for all of our functionalities. Since we went global, we went with that model."
"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per 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."
"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."
"We are on the Flex licenses."
"We have several hundred licenses. It costs us several hundred thousand dollars a year."
"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."
"I don't know about the actual pricing. I have not come across any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
