Director of Operations at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve
The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Easy to tag people and has a form system to collect information but cannot work in multiple channels simultaneously
There are several areas where Wrike could improve. First, it doesn't allow accessing multiple channels simultaneously, which would be useful. Transferring data from one project to another is also difficult. It would be easier to work on parallel tasks across different projects. I've noticed others facing similar issues when I check the chat on their website. The tool should also improve coordination between external stakeholders and collaborators. It should also integrate financial features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
"With Wrike we’re able to keep task and projects on track because everything is super visible, updates or questions are able to be handled in real time due to the way Wrike captures update data and when tasks or projects run late everyone involved can see it and adjust accordingly."
"The product is intuitive. It is easy to learn and update. You can follow the project from the beginning till the end with the help of the solution. The tool helps to update the project in seconds."
"Their support is pretty good, and they've been pretty helpful."
"Weekly meetings and collaboration between different departments have become much more productive."
"I can see at a glance what assignments are in process, who they are assigned too, and it basically saves me a lot of time and confusion trying to keep track of everyone and their workloads."
"Great way for our employees to send in project requests/ideas and then for us to be able to prioritize and schedule them."
"Large projects are much easier to manage and keep track of who is doing what portion and when."
"The initial setup was intuitive, but the training and support videos provided help in moving us to a more developed organizational system."
 

Cons

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."
"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"However, support email reply should not take 12+ hours to those people who live in 12+ hours difference of timezone."
"The main concern was about the management of task and how easy it is to use the tool."
"We feel that the actual project reports and roll-ups could be a lot different. We are seeking something more for the dashboard. We would like a high-level dashboard that can be broken down into individual product roll-ups and tasks that are assigned. If you assign someone to a task, it assigns them all of the tasks under that. We want to be able to break those down so that a person doesn't have an 800 task list, for example. We want more separation with that and a higher-level dashboard experience."
"The user interface takes some adjustment. It could be more intuitive."
"One thing that we are looking for in Wrike is a better workflow. Because we can only move the status of tasks, we can't really manage workflow and send a task to a specific person."
"I would love to have a more user friendly layout of the page in order to understand all those important features that will help me."
"On one side, it's very easy to create a task with text, but on the other side, it's not very well-formatted. Therefore, it's difficult to track specific data written in a task. We are making templates, but it's not enough to use a template to know the exact status of different tasks. One thing that we are looking for in Wrike is a better workflow. Because we can only move the status of tasks, we can't really manage workflow and send a task to a specific person. This is what is really missing in Wrike as compared to other tools. We are looking to replace Wrike because we need support for workflow. Another issue with Wrike is that they bring a lot of versions of the tool, which it's not so easy. They bring new versions very frequently, and these versions look similar. For example, we are using robots to read the tasks in the tools, which is problematic with Wrike because it is changing very frequently."
"More options in the "basic" paid version would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
"From a pricing perspective, I would rate Wrike a four out of five."
"Wrike is expensive."
"Wrike is very expensive, and its price is almost $1,400."
"Wrike is not so expensive, but I don't know exactly how it compares with other tools. Wrike might not be so cheap when we are using it for a lot of users."
