Planview Portfolios reviews

Good Tool For Project Management

Opmerkingen: It has different user roles which are similar to real life and has similar access. Application UI is good and easy to use

Pluspunten:

Planview Enterprise One is a project management tool good for managing work, time and resources.

Minpunten:

It could be bit different to setup initial.

Workable but not Easy

Opmerkingen: We switched to Planview from another software and it’s only been a few months, but honestly I wish we stayed with our previous software. Planview takes so much more time to work in and get the information we need.

Pluspunten:

When Planview finances are working properly I really enjoy the options for financial analysis across different projects. It allows for quick and easy comparison.

Minpunten:

What I like least about Planview is that the names of some of the columns don’t make sense. For example “Project Start Date” stops displaying the correct project date once the project starts.

Huge Tool / Lots of Admin needed

Opmerkingen: The Planview Sales and Support teams are great. They are very helpful. But unless you speak "Planview" you have no idea what they are talking about.

Pluspunten:

It can perform any PPM and Resource Management function that any of the other tools do. The overall portfolio management can slice and dice the data very well.

Minpunten:

It is the most "UN-Intuitive" tool I've ever used. Without extensive training and administration support, it is next to impossible to use and train a casual end user or semi-casual PM.

Planview Portfolios is the Real PPM Program

Opmerkingen: Task issuing. Project portfolio management.

Pluspunten:

I like that it is way too easy to manage projects and tasks without involving a single manual workflow.

Minpunten:

I do not have any issue that I encounter when using this program.

Planview - A tool for resource database and financial management

Opmerkingen: Overall, its a solid tool to take good load of enterprise level needs.

Pluspunten:

> Enterprise tool > Great for looking at various financial views at different levels from enterprise to program to project > Time-sheet tool for time tracking by resources > Help with milestones tracking

Minpunten:

Not so good to have schedule and cost tracked as package. Also, not sure - how suitable this is for SAFe methodologies.

Planview - Easy to use

Opmerkingen: I have been using Planview for more than 3 years now, and I liked it's simplicity in managing medium size/complex project. The best thing I liked is about the 'Export/Import capability of an MSP project at the task level'.

Pluspunten:

1. Assigning resources to the individual and against the CAPEX and OPEX budget codes. 2. Reporting capabilities i.e., Status of the project, Estimated Hours vs Actual Hours, R/G/B status, Notes 3. Portfolio level management, and adding weightage to each and every project. 4. Easy to navigate and classic UI view. 5. Export/Import capability of an MSP project at the task level.

Minpunten:

Nothing to report as such, and pretty much everything seems to be fine.

A good program, but complex

Opmerkingen: It is an average software that does not make it very user friendly. It has many resources within, but the cons outweigh the pros often. I would not be disappointed if we changed out software.

Pluspunten:

I would compare it to a microsoft project software. It is easy to manage multiple things at the same time and has many useful reports to run.

Minpunten:

It has a big learning curve and it difficult to learn on the fly. It does crash and glitch frequently and there is no way to undo a mistake with a clock of a button

My overall experience with Planview Portfolios.

Pluspunten:

It is simple to plan and optimize portfolios with this tool.It is simple to execute projects and portfolios strategies with Planview Portfolios.

Minpunten:

I haven't experienced any shortcomings with Planview Portfolios.

Easy to use Project management portal

Opmerkingen: Project management and revenue tracking

Pluspunten:

Ease of use and detailed visibility to new projects and initiatives with timelines and a way to track revenue and growth.

Minpunten:

Although the portal is easy to use, the user interface may be a little difficult to navigate for beginners.

Can be much better

Opmerkingen: Focus needs to be on ease of use. User adoption is not good

Pluspunten:

Has lots of features including capacity planning

Minpunten:

Capacity can be updated by individual users but it is not easy to use which creates lot of resistance from users to regularly update it.

Agilismo con Planview

Opmerkingen: Potente en la gestión de proyectos y en planeación de los mismos

Pluspunten:

Si bien su base es la gestión de proyectos tradicionales, el software contiene un potente espacio de gestión para proyectos ágiles permitiendo la colaboración y la elaboración de Kanban y seguimiento a actividades

Minpunten:

Se debe mejorar en los reportes estándar para brindar una mayor información histórica

Good time tracking software for companies with many projects.

Pluspunten:

Each week it presents you with your most commonly added project/tasks that you can auto add to your time sheet for the week.

Minpunten:

The navigation/search functionality often doesn't work well when your company has a very large amount of projects.

Planview Project Portfolio not so user friendly

Pluspunten:

Better than some other management systems but just as cumbersome as most. If you are using this then there is a business need to track project spends and allocation so useful for that.

Minpunten:

The interface is not super friendly and with an enterprise of hundreds of projects finding allocated projects and line items to show expenditures and add time tracking to them is a pain. Setting up recurring weekly timesheets also not very persistent for users,

Difficult to Implement but a Powerful Tool

Opmerkingen: Planview requires a lot of front end time investment to get the software up and running and for people to know how to use it. However once they do, it is a great tool to use especially with multiple sites to manage.

Pluspunten:

Planview is very similar to Microsoft project which made implementation easier. It is also helpful for keeping track of financials across a variety of sites.

Minpunten:

Planview can be quite glitchy which causes efficiency to go down, and info can frequently be reset.

Planview- and effective way to manage project resources

Opmerkingen: I enjoy using planview and it helps our business move forward efficiently.

Pluspunten:

Planview has been easy to teach to people working on all levels of our projects. It’s fairly intuitive and user friendly.

Minpunten:

The auto generated orders can sometimes cause issues and extra time to correct. Starting from scratch can also be a bit difficult.

My organization uses Planview for time tracking and project assignment

Pluspunten:

Relatively easy to use interface with the basic customization and access options you'd expect with this type of application.

Minpunten:

Very basic user interface with an outdated feel to the menus and dropdowns which detracts from the purpose of the application and it's feature set.
