Planview Daptiv Reviews

Planview Daptiv users highlight its powerful collaboration capabilities, flexibility in methodologies, and ease of creating new functionalities. Key features include Portfolio View for senior management reporting, excellent reporting capabilities, and resource allocation with capacity planning. Additionally, the tool excels in project management, dashboard functionality, and task scheduling. Users appreciate its ability to manage project repository and timekeeping, while IBM Cognos enhances analytics and reporting. Task management and project scheduling are also highly valued features.

• "It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
• "The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."
• "I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."

Planview Daptiv's user interface appears outdated and inconsistent, requiring improvement in ease of use and customization. Resource allocation and capacity planning needs enhancement for better ROI. Integration capabilities with other tools and improved security are lacking. Configuration demands considerable time and resources. Excessive and outdated features hinder user experience, while reporting and analytics could benefit from further development. Concentrating on excelling in specific areas rather than offering average functionality across various features is suggested.

• "The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."
• "Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
• "It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
