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…

Provides good visibility and clearly shows priorities; entering tasks needs an upgrade

The solution is valuable because it gives our executives a high level of understanding of what's going on. I like the portfolio aspect that shows all the projects and the budget and you can see the priorities and whether the project is on track or not. It has good visibility.

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."

"PPM Pro provides us an organized view of the work that is ongoing and resources that are working on those particular projects."

"The timesheet & staffing management function gives us clarity in terms of how capacity planning has to happen and how much actual effort is going into the programs. The risk and project status information gets captured in the project gives more clarity for stakeholders to understand how the programs are running. We have only explored a portion of the application features so far."

"I've worked at many different companies, and the customer service and the support from Daptiv are unlike anything I've encountered before. They far excel any other company I've worked with. I always say to people that Daptiv is like a sub-department in your company. You don't realize they're a vendor. It feels like you're working with somebody who is part of your own company."

"With PPM Pro, we don't get any errors in terms of the calculations and we get the right picture in terms of the dollar amount being spent on each and every project."

"It has helped us make good decisions in terms of what projects to take or how to prioritize projects when we have multiple directors from the business or product, and it has definitely helped us prioritize and work on our critical things."

"Just about everything about the solution is valuable. I can't pinpoint one specific thing. The tool has helped us mature as an agency, has taught us to collect better data and the benefits of having good data."

"PPM Pro gives a comprehensive insight into projects and empowers project/program managers to make informed decisions."

"I liked the dashboards because I need to report out on tasks completed in the last two weeks, tasks scheduled for the next two weeks, what the risks and health are. What I've been able to do is create reports based on that and then put those reports into a dashboard. The old reporting was clunky, but the beta reports got better. But then I couldn't add the beta reports to the dashboards so now they released the new beta dashboards and it works great. It does everything I need to do."

Cons

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."

"The initial setup was a little complex. There is so much to customize. It'd be good to have some templates out-of-the-box."

"Integrations need improvement. We have the ability now with the FLEX licensing to take advantage of the different applications. But if you want them integrated there's a really large cost associated with that. The integration should be included in the cost per license. We shouldn't have to pay these really high fees to get the systems to talk together."

"The integration with some of these other tools that we use, like the Azure DevOps needs improvement. I heard there are few things coming within Planview or PPM Pro itself, but I think it's still future dated. These integrations are key for us from an organizational perspective."

"Reporting and dashboards need improvement."

"The downside to the way the solution tracks time is if your project manager doesn't add you to the project, you won't see it on your timesheet, even if you did do work."

"From a usability standpoint, the part where there are people on the tasks section on a team is a little challenging. Then for some reason, the in-demand reports are embedded in the resource section and to run them is just completely different and separate from the reports entity which is a lot."

"The product feels like a toy. The tool needs to improve its roadmap. It needs to improve things on a project management level which includes communication as well."

"This solution does not work well as a task management system because it is very difficult to expand beyond just the basic tasks, and this would be a worthwhile area for improvement."

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."

"A collaboration of all their tools truly gets the biggest bang for the buck."

"Our current license is from 2019 to 2022. So for that three-year subscription, it was $60,000 for the subscription, users, platform, and connections. Then there were some add-ons. Connecting to some of our other systems like HR for that period cost us around $12,000."

"The cost was in line."

"My advice is to pay attention to integration opportunities to reduce your licensing cost with Planview. There are additional costs for consulting services and advanced customer support."

"Bulk volume discounts are a little better. Right now we have to buy in lots of 20 at $200 a license. That's a little steep. For example, with Service Now, I pay $48 a seat for a license."

"Because we have PPM Pro with Project place, we transitioned to the Flex model."

"Pricing was fair and I thought it was comparable to the other ones that we looked at. Other than ServiceNow, it was the most expensive, but we knew we were going to get a lot of value for that, so we went with it. We paid $40,000 for the implementation and for the workshops."

"$6 million has been the return on investment so far, and that was because of work intake. Now that we are scrutinizing the work intake and asking questions like, "Is there an alternative to your $10 million project?" We had one project come in for $10 million, scrutinize it through our gate review process, and wound up with the alternative, which was $3.8 million. So, a $6 million savings."
