OpenText Project and Portfolio Management's most valuable features include real-time visibility into projects, programs, and portfolios, user-friendly interface, extensive financial and resource management, seamless integrations with tools like Microsoft Project and Jira, dynamic portlets and reports, what-if analysis for business objectives, and customizable workflow engine. Demand, project, time, and program management, along with scenario comparison and capacity management, are also highly valued for decision-making and tracking progress.
- "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."
- "The availability of multiple integrated modules is a vital aspect"
- "Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
OpenText Project and portfolio Management needs improvements in integration of chargeback mechanisms, managing cloud services, and reporting functionalities. Users face challenges with licensing, user interface consistency, and project management modules. Resource management and time capturing require enhancements for dynamic use-cases. There are also limitations in budget and financial management. Security, API usage, and database support are areas needing augmentation. Usability and UI improvements are critical to elevate the overall experience.
- "OpenText Project and Portfolio Management should move their database from Oracle."
- "The user experience of the product needs to be improved"
- "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."
