Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"monday.com is easy to set up."
"The feature which I found most valuable is the "My Work" section."
"It has helped us to divide work by assigning tasks and forecasting how busy we will be in the future."
"There are a lot of features and once you understand how to use them, it's quite easy to get the benefit out of them."
"Has very good collaborative functions."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools."
"I love that status updates move items from board to board."
"Since the tool is so easy to use, our team members can all learn it quickly and create new boards, projects, tasks, and views easily."
"It is certainly the resource management feature that is most valuable for us. It is the supply and demand. Like most companies, one of the hardest nuts to crack is understanding where your people are and getting them to do the right thing at the right time. So, certainly, out of all the functionality, this has been the saving grace for us because it now provides us with the insight to do future planning and stop taking on more work than we are physically capable of doing as a company."
"You can easily align strategic management and the portfolios within your organization. It helps you visualize all your strategic plans and the KPIs. It provides that information on a unified dashboard, in which you can track all your resources and the portfolios. It helps senior stakeholders and executives with clear reporting about project intake and demands, in real time."
"It has a nice dashboard view, so you can analyze the progress on a project from a single place. It provides a nice graphical representation of all the project management with visualizations of Gantt chart and customized reports. You can easily track all your progress on project tasks and flag any issues."
"I've worked at many different companies, and the customer service and the support from Daptiv are unlike anything I've encountered before. They far excel any other company I've worked with. I always say to people that Daptiv is like a sub-department in your company. You don't realize they're a vendor. It feels like you're working with somebody who is part of your own company."
"Daptiv is a project management tool, so it's pretty straightforward. The ability to manage projects and programs has been beneficial for us."
"The solution is great for viewing projects and timelines."
"The timesheet & staffing management function gives us clarity in terms of how capacity planning has to happen and how much actual effort is going into the programs. The risk and project status information gets captured in the project gives more clarity for stakeholders to understand how the programs are running. We have only explored a portion of the application features so far."
"The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."
"One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."
"In my initial exposure to the interface, I did not find it to be very user-friendly."
"It would be great to have more options on the form for external use, and an easier exporting option for client answers (rather than copying and pasting from each section)."
"If I have 20 items that all have a deadline of 3/24, I'd love to be able to update them all at one time rather than individually."
"We would like to have more open boards at one time and more CRM functionalities."
"They could offer more packages. There seems to be a gap in price between package offers. One has as much as a $30 difference."
"We'd like more automation."
"I'd like better integration with other services."
"The resource management tab is clunky, inefficient, and slow. And from a portfolio manager perspective, it would be nice if there were an easier way to view enterprise-wide resourcing to manage my team more effectively."
"There should be the ability to store historical functions, but this is not just for this tool. It is applicable to many tools. It would be great if we were able to store specific historical data, such as risk management."
"Training documentation improvement is required because there are some high-level words in that material, terms that a non-technical person is unable to understand."
"The agile functionality can be improved. The tool was definitely built around the waterfall PMBOK PRINCE2 methodology, and although there are great functions within the tool for agile, it is often compared to dedicated tools like LeanKit or Jira. At the moment, the only integration we would have is to Jira itself, not to another Planview product. I believe that's coming in 2022 at some point."
"PPM Pro requires a great deal of internet bandwidth because it's a cloud-based solution. This can present a problem if a team member is working in a remote area where they can't access high-speed internet or experience outages. They may face challenges logging in or updating tasks. If the internet connection is inadequate, it may not sync with the solution."
"The calculated field area needs improvement. There are a lot of formulas and functions available to make a calculated field, but it is still not comprehensive. We process the data to represent it through a report or dashboard. Due to the current constraints, for complex calculations, we do the data processing outside PPM Pro."
"The downside to the way the solution tracks time is if your project manager doesn't add you to the project, you won't see it on your timesheet, even if you did do work."
"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket."
