A tool to help create mobile and web applications that ensure its users experience a return on investment from its use

My company uses Bubble Innovator to create applications, specifically mobile applications and web applications. Our company uses the solution to design websites or online pages I did not use Bubble Innovator for my own needs. I used the solution to create applications for clients. The most…

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

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. It includes a Project dashboard for managing multiple projects simultaneously and program management for overseeing groups of projects. It offers various data metrics. It has project entities for controlling risks, issues, and protections. It can calculate costs based on resource tasks and compare actual and planned costs. The tool has features for scenario comparison, allowing us to optimize scenarios based on various factors. Additionally, we can manually optimize by managing resource availability, creating staffing profiles, and making payments to optimize in any situation.

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 feature of the solution stems from the fact that its workflows are really impressive."

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

"Overall, they have a very strong workflow management capability. That's a very strong feature because then you can model any process easily. Whether it is a demand management process, a pipeline management process, or your project delivery methodology, it is much easier because of their workflow management capability."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."

Cons

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."

"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."

"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."

"User interface continues to be poor. The product does not have a similar view in the different modules, e.g., staffing vs financial management, it looks like you are working with a different product and it is not easy to use or intuitive."

"The user experience of the product needs to be improved"

"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."

"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."

"I was not involved in the initial setup. I know that the project involved a lot of consulting that took a long time."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Since I use Bubble Innovator to create applications for my company's clients, I feel the pricing part of the product is fair."

"Now, we also received an increase in the support license prices, without any advanced notice. At this point, switching to unify all our licensing under HPE and customer support has been poor."

"It is SaaS without a base fee."

"A large organization will find Micro Focus PPM affordable, but it may be a bit costly for a small or medium-sized company. The license is based on the number of users."

"There is an additional cost for product support"

"Support and license management are two hurdles for us. Every time we purchase new licenses, it has taken us half a year to implement those."

"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."

"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
