Collaborative features improve task management and project tracking
All the business areas are comfortable with JIRA Portfolio. JIRA Portfolio has many features that we have not yet explored or utilized fully, but the power of JIRA Portfolio at this moment for the several areas in the business has been a very comfortable experience. The cloud accessibility and quick task creation capabilities make collaborating with the tool a great feature for working with my team. Users can assign tasks to one or two people who can collaborate and document their work. That feature is amazing in terms of collaboration. While the tool does not currently support meetings, if JIRA Portfolio incorporates meeting functionality in the future, it would greatly enhance the process, especially for tasks requiring teams from different areas.

Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve
The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

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 is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard where we can see all of our projects and apply filters to shortlist those projects."
"The solution is simple to use."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"JIRA Portfolio is one of the best tools for storage management."
"The workflows are the most valuable feature of the solution, whether for tasks, bugs, or chain requests from the site. I also like the solution's GUI, which is easy to navigate for everyone."
"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."
"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."
"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."
"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
 

Cons

"In the next release, Portfolio should include more metrics and develop their portfolio planning."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project."
"JIra is very poor at reporting."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"The initial setup could use improvement."
"JIRA Portfolio could improve new implementation because if I want integration for the complete wide frame tools it cannot provide any wide frame tools."
"I think the reporting side is probably where JIRA is not the strongest product in my view."
"Portfolio is easy to scale, but we've had some difficulties with it regarding compliance and support."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"The price could be improved."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
