A tool to help create mobile and web applications that ensure its users experience a return on investment from its use
My company uses Bubble Innovator to create applications, specifically mobile applications and web applications. Our company uses the solution to design websites or online pages I did not use Bubble Innovator for my own needs. I used the solution to create applications for clients. The most…

Capably brings single source of truth to enterprise project portfolio management; provides consequential, flexible data display with effective visualization; integrated use of Agile, Kanban
Planisware helpfully distributes incremental updates on a quarterly schedule. Extent of the client base and collective user expectations push priority improvements into new versions and resolve rare technical glitches rapidly. What any single user or small client may earnestly request for increasing productivity may take years for development to start—unless one pays rather dearly for underwriting special services from Planisware’s offshore support group. Individual users, particularly those who suddenly lack affiliation with a paying client between jobs have been bottom priority in my experience. Service tickets don’t apply for this category of formerly active users. I recommend that Planisware provides formerly active users privilege of connectivity with Planisware “playground” environments that are periodically refreshed with a current release version. This new option would cultivate “hands on” proficiency in the overall Planisware user community.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that its workflows are really impressive."
"It has an inbuilt BI tool, which can be compared to Power BI or Tableau."
"Planisware has improved our project visibility, resource utilization, decision-making, and cost control, leading to higher efficiency and better alignment between business strategy and project execution."
"There are two things in particular that I enjoy; the first is the portfolio planning section and another advantage is that it is highly customizable as we can tailor it to the needs of the customer."
"Planisware's advanced reporting capabilities help the organization track project performance and align initiatives with organizational goals."
"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."
"The positive impact I have seen from working with Planisware is due to its efficacy and speed; it has very few updates and is easy to use."
"I found Planisware really effective, and I appreciate it."
"Planisware offers integration with multiple tools and provides a good level of customization."
 

Cons

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."
"The UI and UX of Planisware are not that advanced."
"Reporting out of PLW has been a definite weakness."
"Planisware is very costly. I can comment that it's expensive, and even the consultants from Planisware charge a very high rate for their time."
"The reports should be improved because all companies now need reporting, and with tools such as Grafana or Tableau, Planisware needs to add interfaces for data lakes since all companies require this."
"More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since I use Bubble Innovator to create applications for my company's clients, I feel the pricing part of the product is fair."
"There are training and certification costs."
"The solution is expensive and support is an extra cost. There are three license types to choose from, and we only pay for support and cloud services depending on our needs."
"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."
