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…

Saves significant time on demand management and helps accelerate delivery
The ease of customization of the tool means I can support multiple departments in our company. Our users find it easy to use the service and the forms. And the Project Management module is one of the best modules that they work on. 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.

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."
"Recent Program Management lifecycle, Program Management aggregation views due to interactive UI (selection of risks, issues, and changes in Program Overview) and “flash look & feel" of this functional chunk, which is different in comparison to other parts of HPE PPM."
"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."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The designs provided by Bubble Innovator have certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"They can make its UI better. Currently, the UI is a bit clunky."
"OpenText Project and Portfolio Management should move their database from Oracle."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"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."

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."
"We have an annual license, and it is fairly priced in comparison to that of other solutions."
"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."
"It is SaaS without a base fee."
"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."
"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."
"There is an additional cost for product support"
"HPE PPM SaaS model is comprehensive, however, the base fee component has customer resistance to its recurring setup,"
