Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It's helped us organize and collaborate with clients and has been a great foundation/framework to support our growth."
"The features that I have found most valuable include the dashboards, forms, and item and task tracking."
"Shareable boards are a great solution for clients who want to track the progress of their work orders without checking in with us directly."
"Monday.com has made it much easier to keep track of a wide range of tasks whilst we have a team distributed over multiple countries and timezones."
"It has kept us very organized."
"It has kept all our departments accountable and gives a quick birds-eye to see how projects are progressing."
"The customization ability of Monday is unmatched."
"I am able to add in deadlines and filter by work assigned, in progress, and completed."
"The overall user interface is fantastic. It has been very easy to learn and use. Any non-technical person with some initial training can work on it from day one, which is very good. The learning material is very good and easy to learn. There is no need to spend additional money on the training."
"Projectplace absolutely supports collaboration in real-time. It's probably one of the best tools out there for collaboration. It affects the project's progress quite a bit. I have started two very similar projects in two separate business units, on very similar teams. I did one with Enterprise One, I did one with Projectplace just to see how the mileage would vary. The one with Projectplace had a very short cycle time so we were able to finish the project earlier. The one with Enterprise One was less engaging and it took a little more time. Because we were tracking the tasks inside the schedule it was not on the cards."
"Projectplace has excellent collaboration features, including some nice kanban boards. We use DocuSign, and Planview just integrated it into Projectplace, so that was helpful. And I like the fact that it links to Enterprise One, the other Planview tool that we use to manage our capital portfolio."
"It simplifies the management of our day-to-day work and brings all our processes into a single place where we can plan our activities, monitor them, and take any actions accordingly."
"Right from the initial steps, we found this product easy to use."
"Clarizen's slide publisher is one of my favorite features."
"The most useful features of Planview are its integration with resource management and the ability to commit and reserve various resources."
"Planview Projectplace is a really good solution for document sharing and keeping track of the history of changes in the document. I also like that you can have everything you need for a project in one place, for example, for documentation, planning, and even resource planning."
"Project management and work collaboration solution with amazing scalability and stability. Its user interface is modern and easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality."
"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
"I like how user-friendly, visual, and intuitive it is. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure out how to make it work for you."
"I think task management, prioritization, rankings, and collaboration features are useful."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Trello is very easy to install and set up. It is also easy to use. Its interface is excellent."
"The installation was extremely straightforward."
"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."
"If Monday.com could increase the refresh rate of the site, that would make things a little better."
"It is difficult to create templates for repeat use cases."
"We would like to connect with email solutions such as Outlook."
"I would love to see better integration with Google Suite."
"We'd like integration with SharePoint so that it becomes easier to find and share files stored in SharePoint."
"I find that I cannot customize my automation for Slack as much as I need."
"We often have problems with bugs and slow service."
"Speed and reliability need to be better."
"They should also improve the interface. There are other competitors like Microsoft Project for the web, Wrike, Team Gantt who have a way better, modern user interface."
"It is not easy. The deployment of the application and its functionalities are not easy. It is a complex process to create accounts, names, and catalogs."
"We'd like to see a heartier connection between Projectplace and Enterprise One. We know that's on their roadmap, but they haven't gotten there yet. Planview could also make better use of Projectplace's template capability."
"I believe that the graphs, reporting, and connection with the slides are areas that need improvement."
"An area of improvement is customer support and services. Sometimes, the issue reported is not resolved within a specific timeframe, and the technical consultants who are approached for the requirement finalization can be better in terms of understanding the requirements. Sometimes, there is a gap in understanding the requirements. Other than that, the solution is fine."
"It needs some improvement in the project planning reports, ad hoc reports, and some big file transfers are a challenge. If you were going to transfer some 10 MB or 12 MB document with your team members, then it might have some problems in uploading and sharing those files. The overall dashboard view needs some advancement in its visualizations and uploading a large file size is a challenge."
"Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two."
"In terms of what could be improved in Planview Projectplace, it would depend on the purpose, because if you talk about resource planning, from my perspective, it's not the best tool. It would also depend on the company itself, for example, I've been working with another company and Planview Projectplace was needed more for workload and resource planning purposes, and I don't think the solution covered those purposes well. Its resource planning and workload functions need improvement."
"As a team board it did not work well for us."
"It's really simple, which is a good thing, but it only does one thing for us."
"It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Many more categories could be enabled."
"Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues."
"There aren't as many tracking tools."
"Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline."
