Sciforma Reviews

I can do my own reports for a large portfolio of projects, such as engineering and construction projects for most of my clients.

I find Sciforma's customizability valuable. I like the project management side, with planning, scheduling, and timesheets. And I also love the collaboration portion.

The report developer needs a bit of streamlining. You have to be good to understand it and use it. If you don't work with Sciforma regularly, it will be a challenge.

I would like to see an element of procurement management as part of demand management in the next release. You do projects, but a large part of EPC projects is the procurement and engineering side of it. Any development that touches more on engineering procurement modules, even if elementary, would be a great addition.

I've been working with Sciforma for about ten years. I do project consulting, and I do systems implementation.

I rate the stability an eight out of ten. We had no issues.

I rate Sciforma's scalability a nine out of ten. We have about 100 users using Sciforma. Our clients are small to medium engineering businesses.

In the early days, I found some bugs that I fixed with the old platform. There were communication issues trying to explain to them what the issue was. Sciforma is fairly responsive, and lately, they've gotten better.

I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten because it's easy. We had to really understand the solution because it's huge, and we had to know which sections to bite off first. I might even rate the initial setup a nine out of ten if you know what you've got. Once we had all our data and our migration plan, it was quite easy. The challenge lies more with the organization than the system itself. Sciforma is one of the easiest tools to get going with from a technical point of view, but knowledge is key.

Deploying the solution takes from six months to a year, depending on the level of data wanted. While deploying the solution, we have to first compile the user's requirements. Then we have to drop a baseline specification in parallel with a concept rollout. Based on what's in the concept, we pick from what the client understands to be the relevant portions, the minimum requirements. Then I convert it into a project execution plan and then execute the plan.

After that, we have initial data collection for configuration and then final live data. Then we have the sign-off processes of different departments. There's a lot of upfront work to get the data prepared for transmission, and that is a big challenge. We did almost a thousand projects per year, so there were quite a lot of decisions to speed up the deployment process. The biggest challenge was to get our internal data organized and map it.

I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good. The solution is affordable and fixed, where the price is the same throughout the usage period.

Sciforma is not software. It's a service model. You can just put it in a cloud somewhere hosted by an ISP.

One thing that took us a long time but was successful in the end was that we created an automatic process where you can tick on a quotation to automatically create the budget and the schedules. That development was quite complex, but we managed to do it in a very generic fashion that you can almost point to any Excel sheet that you can map to the Sciforma database. That was the biggest benefit of the system. I import the quote, and then the process of planning a project once the quote is landed is pretty easy.

If you're choosing Sciforma, I suggest you take what I call the vanilla version, make it work, and then fund it on one project. Only after that do the development and modification.

I rate Sciforma an eight out of ten because you want a solution that is flexible, quick to deploy, and comprehensive for mid-size to upper-scale organizations. Sciforma is in a niche position.

We use Sciforma for time tracking, portfolio management, project management, resource simulation tickets, and workflow.

The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma.

The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved.

I have been using Sciforma for two or three weeks.

Sciforma is a stable solution if you have the right configuration.

Around 60 users often use the solution in our organization.

I rate Sciforma an eight or nine out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s technical support is very good.

I have previously worked with Asana.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate Sciforma a seven out of ten for the ease of its initial setup.

Sciforma was deployed in two weeks.

The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap.

I am working with the latest version of Sciforma.

Overall, I rate Sciforma a nine out of ten.

Project Management and Project tracking with strong project communication capability to facilitate teamwork without the use of other software. With workflows and dedicated views, each team member has a clear overview of their responsibilities and who is dependent on their work.

Everybody is autonomous and can do tests, follow execution, give priorities, answer questions, ask for help, etc.

Meetings can be facilitated in ONE2TEAM, which saves much time on preperation and follow-up.

Reporting Capabilities give great insight in project performance.

ONE2TEAM revolutionizes the way of working:

The cloud based solution for project and portfolio managment and with a very strong collaboration management functionality: Executive and team members can access their work environment at any time anywhere; they can monitor program status, act, and complete a checklist with a personalized view of tasks to be performed. It is not necessary to send Emails or create Presentations, you can simply work in a Dashboard together.

Due to the use of templates, the the right methodology is followed for each project and processes become coherent troughout the entire company.

The modern and intiitive interface makes it easy to use for everyone.

ONE2TEAM is more than a PPM tool it is Enterprise Work Management:

in addition to the functionality of a PPM, the solution invites all teams to collaborate; each team progresses on its tasks at its own pace, with files, discussions and contextual data at their fingertips to get the job done as quickly as possible. We call it "Take the right decisions at the right time".

Get real-time visibility on most important project statuses, evaluate workload and blocking points, access all information to find out the source of an issue makes the right decisions. Get insight into troubbled projects and see the factors that create problems immediately.

It is more than a PPM tool it is an Enterprise Workforce solution and this means in addition to the functionality of a PPM, the solution invites all teams to collaborate; each team progresses on its tasks at its own pace, with files, discussions and contextual data at their fingertips to get the job done as quickly as possible. We call it "Take the right decisions at the right time" Get real-time visibility on most important project statuses, evaluate workload and blocking points, access all information to find out the source of an issue makes the right decisions. Don’t go through everything, focus on the blocking ones (or the ones which need to be understood).

I am very happy with the solution. 

For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources. AI systems are able to effectively handle scheduling, reminders, and follow-ups to eliminate the need for human input and human-driven knowledge. This is one of many effective ways that One2Team is capable of saving humans time on their various efforts by helping to make sure that nothing is overlooked.

Excellent support that's more user-friendly and better than from previous vendor.

We used Changepoint before and searched for a more modern and more cost-efficient solution.

Straightforward, with the prepared packages for business cases up and running after 3 weeks.

In-house with little support.

Cheaper than our previous solution.

We searched for more than a PPM solution, we searching for a Workforce Solution and based on our analysis is One2Team the Best-in-class solution.

Clarity, Planview, Sciforma, Inloox: we took a look at the Gartner leaders.

For future use, it would be helpful if more standard connectors to other software solution i.e. Infor, SAP would be delivered by a standard solution.
