workflow streamlines processes and ensures activities are completed properly
The most valuable feature of OpenText Project and Portfolio Management is its workflow. The workflow is amazing and highly effective in streamlining processes. Additionally, it is used to ensure that activities are completed properly, as part of the typical project and portfolio management. It meets my needs as a good project and portfolio management tool.

Centralized project documents have improved remote collaboration but task workflows remain confusing
Regarding Procore Project Management's task scheduling feature for reducing project delays, I did not use the task management feature very much because it seemed difficult to set up. I did not care for the platform from a user-friendly perspective because I am more of a construction professional than a computer professional. Some of the features were hard to navigate through. I also found that true with some of the Whole Foods employees who were trying to use it. They were confused on how to approve things and get things completed in the task management. Additionally, some of the change order approval processes were unclear. They did not know how to approve them. When uploading a task, it was confusing to identify who was the approver of that document because the responsibility was doubled up. The task management section and the distribution list along with the project approval person designation were difficult and confusing to navigate through.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Demand Management and reporting are the most valuable features."
"PPM really has a powerful workflow and form engine that allows us to create workflow complexities and processes, with a good balance between flexibility and best practice that generally allows us to implement any kind of requirements a customer might have."
"Time Management Resource Management Project Management"
"The most valuable feature is resource planning or resource management."
"It gives a more organized approach for managing the projects and helps us since many things can be automated using this tool, which were previously done manually."
"The demand, project and time management parts are the most valuable features."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"It is very important that the platform gives us a single place where we can measure progress toward goals, as we have weekly meetings with the CTO. We present these consolidated overviews and dashboards to him so that he has an overview of all the projects and can see the status of all the problems that we have and we are working on."
"What I appreciate about using Procore Project Management is the convenience of putting everything in one location, where pictures, schedules, blueprints, drawings, change orders, and all documents are accessible in one platform."
"Other companies have been using it for years, and it is a very stable platform."
"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."
"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."
 

Cons

"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"The HPE PPM license prices are a bit high. HPE PPM does not support agile management."
"Micro Focus PPM should be less dependent on coding. It could also benefit from some updates to the software architecture. These have been on the roadmap for years now, but they haven't been released."
"There are some limitations when it comes to attaching receipts. For example, if we are going to buy some non-labor-related assets such as hardware, we are not able to attach the receipts in the Financial Management module in version 9.41."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management could improve in several areas such as portfolio planning and resource allocation."
"There is quite a few areas of improvement - Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
"I'm not thrilled. I feel like I get the runaround and I have to explain the issue five different times."
"I did not care for the platform from a user-friendly perspective because I am more of a construction professional than a computer professional."
"It would be nice if the tool can reduce its operational cost. It would make it more competitive."
"It takes time to use it. It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Now, we also received an increase in the support license prices, without any advanced notice. At this point, switching to unify all our licensing under HPE and customer support has been poor."
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"A large organization will find Micro Focus PPM affordable, but it may be a bit costly for a small or medium-sized company. The license is based on the number of users."
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"Support and license management are two hurdles for us. Every time we purchase new licenses, it has taken us half a year to implement those."
"The tool is cheap and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
