If you're considering using Planview Daptiv, I would recommend finding someone who is tech literate and has the ear of the executive staff. This person can help ensure that processes are in place and agreed upon before implementation. This will help avoid wasting time and resources if an executive changes their mind after the process has been set up. If you have the ear of the executive staff from the beginning, you can engineer requirements that better suit your needs and pick the right tool for the job. This is a real-life example of how to approach the decision of which ERP system to purchase. Start by asking yourself, "What is our core business need for an ERP system?" If it's not everything, don't purchase Planview Daptiv. Instead, find a tool that specializes in that one thing. If you need a little bit of everything, then Planview Daptiv is a great choice. I rate Planview Daptiv a seven out of ten. The tool is versatile and can perform multiple tasks, which is positive. However, the trade-off is that it doesn't excel at any specific function, which is a negative. The tool was designed to be a jack-of-all-trades solution for companies that want to do a little bit of everything, as an alternative to purchasing multiple specialized tools that can add up to large costs. The tool, Planview Daptiv is charged as per the usage but might not be as efficient as specialized tools, such as Salesforce, Oracle SAP, and Microsoft.

I would rate Changepoint nine out of 10. The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features. To those thinking about adopting Changepoint, I would recommend getting all the in-house processes and policies in place before deploying a solution. Once processes and policies are clear internally and in alignment with what you want to achieve, then it's easier. Then making a change on the management side of things isn't dreadful for the organization.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with the product. I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using. It's on the cloud, so it is probably the latest version of the solution. I probably wouldn't advise someone else to go with Daptiv. I'd probably tell a company to go with a timekeeping app, or, if they're trying to do project tracking, there's probably a different SaaS project tracking app or solution that would be better. Overall, I'd rate the solution four out of ten. There are other solutions that may be more suitable. This solution lacks a lot of UI and is overstuffed with too many features that daren't useful.

My advice is: Do not be afraid to migrate to cloud solutions... Information is often safer at the cloud than our own infrastructure. When you begin Daptiv PPM implementation, make sure that the consultant understands perfectly your requirements and the reports you need, in order to get a better implementation service rate and guarantee that the company methodology will be embedded in your environment.
