CTO at Marco Technology
Useful for resource and financial management but needs to change Oracle database
The solution helps with tech management. It has a work plan similar to Microsoft Project for tracking progress anywhere. It can synchronize with Microsoft Projects for updating and rebooting tasks. They can also assign tasks to team members who can update progress using timesheets without a sheet. It includes a Project dashboard for managing multiple projects simultaneously and program management for overseeing groups of projects. It offers various data metrics. It has project entities for controlling risks, issues, and protections. It can calculate costs based on resource tasks and compare actual and planned costs. The tool has features for scenario comparison, allowing us to optimize scenarios based on various factors. Additionally, we can manually optimize by managing resource availability, creating staffing profiles, and making payments to optimize in any situation.

A project management tool that helps to manage milestones and dependencies
We use the product to design online courses. It also helps us with media production and marketing.  Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports. The product is expensive. It needs…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The demand, project and time management parts are the most valuable features."
"I like the ease of customization from an admin perspective. I'm really excited about some of the things that are coming in version 10.0.3 as far as what admins are able to do."
"There are lots of project management tools that do a good job, but not so many that can manage portfolios and the bigger planning picture."
"Customer service and technical support are excellent and great at helping us when needed."
"Demand, project and time management parts of the tool are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is resource planning or resource management."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"Resource management: The resource management module is very complete and covers most of the time all needs of customers."
"I recommend this solution; it is very good for simple projects."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
 

Cons

"The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management could improve in several areas such as portfolio planning and resource allocation."
"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."
"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"Better user interface. Usability in terms of better UX."
"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."
"We constantly put in requests for some of the things we need. One of those is being able to export just our standard request type to PDF."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"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."
"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,"
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
