Gives management a cohesive place for tracking business strategies and goals, but cosmetic aspects need work

Pros

"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. "

Cons

"We had a couple of issues with stability or performance degradation about a year ago, around the time of the initial rollout. Since then, we've only had two unexpected outages that were quickly resolved. "

Provides full picture of project budgets and investments, but reporting capabilities need improvement

Pros

"It's a very detailed tool. As far as an enterprise is concerned, it gives you the flexibility to manage everything: portfolios, projects, finances, proposals, resources, and time... It takes care of even the minor details that need to be captured. The project management functionality is configured really well within the tool. That stands out."

Cons

"I would also like to see improvement in PPM's reporting and alerts. PPM has reporting capabilities, including HTML reports and portlets. But a majority of clients will build their own reporting platforms, or they will use external reporting platforms like Tableau and QlikView."

Saves significant time on demand management and helps accelerate delivery

Pros

"It is very important that the platform gives us a single place where we can measure progress toward goals, as we have weekly meetings with the CTO. We present these consolidated overviews and dashboards to him so that he has an overview of all the projects and can see the status of all the problems that we have and we are working on."

Cons

"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. "

Useful for resource and financial management but needs to change Oracle database

Pros

"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. "

Cons

"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management should move their database from Oracle. "

It's flexible and customizable, but the support isn't good and it may be too expensive for smaller companies

Pros

"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows. "

Cons

"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. "

Everything is in one tool, improving visibility and integration

Pros

"I like the automated calculations, especially on the resource side. When project managers enter their resource requirements into their staffing profiles, they are automatically translated into labor forecast calculations. PPM automates a significant portion of the forecast calculations. Timesheets are also built-in. We automatically process time sheets and bill them accordingly. "

Cons

"Sometimes features in PPM don't work as expected, or our users request a new feature. Typically, our partner vendor can deploy those changes. But there have been a few instances when we had to raise it with Micro Focus because it's beyond the ability of our partner vendor. When we raise the issue with Micro Focus, it sometimes takes time because it needs support from other customers using PPM, not just our bank. It goes through a voting system. Other customers need to vote for the feature. The features that get the most votes will possibly be added. "

We use it from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management. Support gives us the runaround.

Pros

"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."

Cons

"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 data provided by MF PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful.

Pros

"The data provided by PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful. "

Cons

"Reporting; need to be able to provide fancy reporting out of PPM, way it is done in OBIEE etc."
