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

"With JIRA, you can do amazing things by developing connectors, embedding features, and adding new fields to create new things."
"Jira's Structure, agile, and Kanban boards are helpful. I also like JQuery, which allows you to fetch the relevant set of data. We use JQuery, JQL, and the Structure board a lot. Kanban boards help us monitor daily tasks, and we review the progress using the burndown charts."
"I like JIRA portfolio the most out of any tool I use for my job."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"The customized workflows we can define are very valuable. JIRA's private projects is very useful as well. There are also a lot of plugins that they provide."
"The integration is very good, we've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"The dashboard is the most valuable feature, the user experience is very good, it's easy to use."
"Having an option to view dependencies between projects and teams is great."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."
"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."
"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 most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."
"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."
 

Cons

"The setup process for JIRA Portfolio is complex."
"Another thing could be to have an easy way to manage the Portfolio and have more ways to share and to show graphics and reports"
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The data query language needs improvement."
"This solution is not able to be integrated with other solutions because you have to upgrade it and pay for more licensing."
"There should be an integration of efforts between the cloud service providers' side and JIRA Portfolio."
"The team-centric view is slightly weaker in JIRA compared to its competitors, especially considering how I can evaluate how each resource has been placed, not just in one project but across JIRA."
"Converting a task into an epic is very troublesome."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"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."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"The price is reasonable"
"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"I do not believe that the product provides value for money since I feel that it is quite expensive."
"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."
