Good integration with resource management and handles time management well, but the licensing is absurd
We did not purchase the agile package. I believe this relates to what we had. We had Planview and Projectplace, but not, the full agile package. We had cards in Projectplace, but we couldn't put them into Epix and then stories because they were part of the agile package. Planview turned out to be completely useless for my use cases because I needed to be able to take large, stories or large Epix and put them on a backlog and associate them with Planview work breakdown structure schedules. In Planview, we would have to migrate application A and application B, but we would be doing this for 30 different applications. In the absence of a way to represent large sub-projects in Planview and have them moveable in time, with the resources associated with them also moving as you move them, I had to work around that limitation and mostly work in Projectplace. That being said, I did not have access to the agile module, but my suspicions are that it would not have made much of a difference due to the poor integration between Projectplace and Planview. Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two.

A project management solution that can be automated to suit your needs
I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten because it's easy. We had to really understand the solution because it's huge, and we had to know which sections to bite off first. I might even rate the initial setup a nine out of ten if you know what you've got. Once we had all our data and our migration plan, it was quite easy. The challenge lies more with the organization than the system itself. Sciforma is one of the easiest tools to get going with from a technical point of view, but knowledge is key. Deploying the solution takes from six months to a year, depending on the level of data wanted. While deploying the solution, we have to first compile the user's requirements. Then we have to drop a baseline specification in parallel with a concept rollout. Based on what's in the concept, we pick from what the client understands to be the relevant portions, the minimum requirements. Then I convert it into a project execution plan and then execute the plan. After that, we have initial data collection for configuration and then final live data. Then we have the sign-off processes of different departments. There's a lot of upfront work to get the data prepared for transmission, and that is a big challenge. We did almost a thousand projects per year, so there were quite a lot of decisions to speed up the deployment process. The biggest challenge was to get our internal data organized and map it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workspace ease, navigation, and portfolios are the most valuable aspects of this solution. I just got access to the portfolios from my upper management, so I'm able to look at our specific SRE portfolio to see what's a priority, look at how many hours we've tracked, and things like that. I'm not so much included in the budgeting but it's important to see what projects are higher priority and so forth."
"Planview Projectplace is a really good solution for document sharing and keeping track of the history of changes in the document, and I also like that you can have everything you need for a project in one place, for example, for documentation, planning, and even resource planning."
"Projectplace absolutely supports collaboration in real-time. It's probably one of the best tools out there for collaboration. It affects the project's progress quite a bit. I have started two very similar projects in two separate business units, on very similar teams. I did one with Enterprise One, I did one with Projectplace just to see how the mileage would vary. The one with Projectplace had a very short cycle time so we were able to finish the project earlier. The one with Enterprise One was less engaging and it took a little more time. Because we were tracking the tasks inside the schedule it was not on the cards."
"The most useful features of Planview are its integration with resource management and the ability to commit and reserve various resources."
"Clarizen's slide publisher is one of my favorite features."
"I would absolutely recommend the system to other users."
"Projectplace absolutely supports collaboration in real-time; it's probably one of the best tools out there for collaboration and it really helps to finish projects very quickly."
"It is a complete solution. It is very useful for the management of our internal processes."
"ONE2TEAM revolutionizes the way of working: The cloud based solution for project and portfolio management with very strong collaboration functionality lets executives and team members access their work environment anytime, anywhere to monitor program status, act, and complete a personalized checklist of tasks without the need to send emails or create presentations, simply working together in a dashboard."
"It makes it more fun to work with a modern designed and easy-to-use solution as a team and not add or analyze data alone. Internal, external, home office, remote work, desktop, mobile (available on iOS and Android), are always connected to One2Team."
"I find Sciforma's customizability valuable."
"The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see a heartier connection between Projectplace and Enterprise One."
"Planview turned out to be completely useless for my use cases because I needed to be able to take large stories or large Epix and put them on a backlog and associate them with Planview work breakdown structure schedules."
"We have a connection-related problem, which is impacting our daily operations, but we have had the same status for the last two months."
"It is not easy. The deployment of the application and its functionalities are not easy. It is a complex process to create accounts, names, and catalogs."
"The reporting end of it needs improvement. There should be more reporting, more data at your fingertips. It should be easier and a little more user-friendly. I know there is some there, but it's just how do you get more meat on the bones, if you will, of what's available."
"In terms of what could be improved in Planview Projectplace, it would depend on the purpose, because if you talk about resource planning, from my perspective, it's not the best tool. It would also depend on the company itself, for example, I've been working with another company and Planview Projectplace was needed more for workload and resource planning purposes, and I don't think the solution covered those purposes well. Its resource planning and workload functions need improvement."
"Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two."
"If the mobile app were improved to show more information then it would be good."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved."
"The report developer needs a bit of streamlining."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a good value for money for the service they provide and the tailored program. When compared to Microsoft Project."
"The cost of this product is mid-range. It's not too expensive but not the cheapest on the market."
"I think the price of Projectplace is highly reasonable for the amount of functionality that you get. We have what they call a FLEX License. That means you get Projectplace, Enterprise One, and Leankits all on the same license. That's great because then you can use the other products without any additional cost."
"In my opinion, the pricing is reasonable."
"I would say the licensing maturity was probably a three out of five. They have a long way to go before they can scale out and retain enterprise customers."
"It can be expensive, but if you see the functionalities and the processes, it's not as expensive as other applications. We pay about 1 million Mexican Pesos per year for all 100 licenses."
"The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."
