Md. Kamruzzaman - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that very accurately runs projects
Project availability and speed could always be improved. Most of the time, we get the target from the system. If there is a chance to improve the interface, then it should be implemented. Otherwise, our end users are satisfied with using our own interface. Reports could be pushed more quickly.

John Andrew Kossey - PeerSpot reviewer
A comprehensive project and portfolio management with robust scalability and dedicated long-tenured support team
Its benefits extend to the centralization and control of projects, particularly in terms of maintaining consistency in defining tasks, projects, cost accounts, and other essential elements. This level of standardization is crucial for efficiency and clarity, especially in large organizations managing diverse projects with varying timelines and complexities. The software's strength lies in its adept handling of categorization, allowing users to tailor how projects are categorized based on their specific organizational needs. Moreover, it facilitates the creation of activity types and simplifies the development of project templates. These templates serve as master projects, enabling users to swiftly replicate and customize projects by leveraging pre-defined structures. The significance lies in the ability to replicate successful approaches consistently. When a company discovers an effective method, it can be seamlessly incorporated into Planisware. The result is a standardized language that remains consistent across various projects.
