A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects

The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.

Customizable labels and the ability to modify cards streamline task management and save time

There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things. I would like to see that improved. Sometimes they add new features, which can be either welcome or odd. More control over email notifications would also be helpful.

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 features are the control and visibility that you have for portfolio management in terms of projects and capacity planning for resources along with strategies and outcomes, etc. It's so easy to access information for sharing analytics and reporting."

"In my opinion, the financial planning feature is the most valuable feature of Planview Enterprise One."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the completeness of the standard, underlying metamodel."

"The data is the most valuable because the reporting that we provide out of Planview is priceless when compared to any other tool. The reporting has a variety of reports. It has the capabilities of Power BI. It gives us all these dashboards that we can show to our executive leadership, and they have been very well-received."

"The biggest impact has been the visibility into our IT assets."

"We use expenditures quite a bit. We put in forecast expenditures and then we actualize them below the line in the little box in the bottom tray. Being able to track the project with relevant milestones is also valuable. Milestones are valuable because it helps us to keep the project on track. The expenditures are valuable because we need to be able to understand expenses that are beyond the regular resources in the projects."

"We are able to see where everyone in the team is in terms of hours, where there is capacity, and where we can actually add them, e.g., other projects that they're not currently staffed to."

"Our transparency is increasing a lot. It is helping us to get people together. There are no dark rooms anymore. In some areas or concepts, we want to add more light to every single concept. That's the big impact that the tool is having. It allows conversations between people."

More Planview Portfolios pros

"It is easy for users to start working with Trello because it has a user-friendly interface."

"Projects do not take as long and meetings take less time, since you know the status of developments or tests."

"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."

"The solution is great for project management."

"What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done."

"Trello's user interface is really good, making it easy for us to maintain and monitor."

"The most valuable feature of Trello stems from the fact of how easy it was with it to see large visual aspects, especially when people were getting their workflow in order."

"Trello is very easy to install and set up. It is also easy to use. Its interface is excellent."

More Trello pros

Cons

"I would like to be able to copy and paste from Excel into work and assignments along with roles and hours, as opposed to having to type it out one by one."

"Visualization and reporting areas could use improvements by having canned reports."

"The technical support is a little overworked. At least, they have been in the past year. We need them to focus on somethings from time to time. You can tell that they're really focusing on many things. It has gotten better, but I think they could still use some relief."

"The UI needs improvement. The UI should have more possibilities for users who are not specialized in using Planview. At the moment, it is more of a technical UI. I would like it to be an open user UI."

"While Planview Management provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities, further enhancements could include more advanced data visualization options, predictive analytics features, and customizable dashboards to provide deeper insights into project performance and trends."

"I would suggest for the request module that they open up the fields and columns so it's like we are doing our work in the work module. You can't do that with today. We also have to make sure that the fields can go both ways with the request and work modules. Including fields in the column sets would be helpful, because today they only use attributes."

"We've been using it for a while, so it's about maturity. It's about being able to build out things in Agile groups and teams and some of that. Then really trying to drive into the direction of Lean Portfolio Management and more Agile program management, I think is where we're heading."

"Sometimes within the application, when you pull a report, it takes awhile performance-wise for the reports to pull up."

More Planview Portfolios cons

"Trello was a little complicated initially because we didn't know how to use it, create a product backlog, or define the work items."

"Trello could be improved by having a better notification system. Currently, notifications flood my inbox, making it hard to differentiate what I actually need to open."

"Trello has become complex over the years."

"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications."

"The dashboards and flexibility to adjust the timeline view for each task are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."

"In the card area, you should not be able to modify so easily what is already written, as this can cause loss of information."

"It would be good if we could update the project status by email without logging into Trello."

"The product is not easy to use."

More Trello cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees are approximately $50,000 USD annually."

"With the costs, they were very understanding. Knowing that we were an existing customer, they were very much willing to work with us to make sure that we were able to transition to Enterprise One from PPM Pro."

"We have unlimited licenses for all of our functionalities. Since we went global, we went with that model."

"We recently did a new bundle for all of Enterprise One. It includes some of the newer pieces, like Projectplace and LeanKit. It bundled our CTM in with it as well. I think the total came out to be about $900,000 a year. This is for unlimited licenses."

"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."

"Planview is a little pricey. From a licensing perspective, for just a simple timesheet user who does nothing in the system but reports time, the licensing is a little pricey, but you have to look at it from what it is that you get. We have 6,000 users, and I don't manage the system at all. I just have to do add them to the system. The servers, maintenance, OS levels, security patching for the OS, and all other things are not something that we maintain. So, you have to look at it from an operational perspective. It is not just the product itself. A holistic view has to be taken when you look at the product and how you're going to support it. I would have to hire an entire operation staff to bring it in-house, and at the end of the day, that might cost me more."

"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."

"I don't know about the actual pricing. I have not come across any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

More Planview Portfolios pricing and cost advice

"Its pricing is good. It is about $6 per license for what we use, but then there are other plans as well, such as $12 a month. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of pricing."

"We are currently using the open-source option."

"Trello was free when we used it, but if we wanted many people looped in, we did need to pay a fee."

"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."

"Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."

"The tool's pricing is average."

"We are using the open-source version of Trello."

"UiPath is cost-efficient."
