A project management solution that can be automated to suit your needs

I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten because it's easy. We had to really understand the solution because it's huge, and we had to know which sections to bite off first. I might even rate the initial setup a nine out of ten if you know what you've got. Once we had all our data and our migration plan, it was quite easy. The challenge lies more with the organization than the system itself. Sciforma is one of the easiest tools to get going with from a technical point of view, but knowledge is key. Deploying the solution takes from six months to a year, depending on the level of data wanted. While deploying the solution, we have to first compile the user's requirements. Then we have to drop a baseline specification in parallel with a concept rollout. Based on what's in the concept, we pick from what the client understands to be the relevant portions, the minimum requirements. Then I convert it into a project execution plan and then execute the plan. After that, we have initial data collection for configuration and then final live data. Then we have the sign-off processes of different departments. There's a lot of upfront work to get the data prepared for transmission, and that is a big challenge. We did almost a thousand projects per year, so there were quite a lot of decisions to speed up the deployment process. The biggest challenge was to get our internal data organized and map it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else."

"Planisware offers integration with multiple tools and provides a good level of customization."

"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."

"We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."

"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."

"It has an inbuilt BI tool, which can be compared to Power BI or Tableau."

More Planisware pros

"It makes it more fun to work with a modern designed and easy-to-use solution as a team and not add or analyze data alone. Internal, external, home office, remote work, desktop, mobile (available on iOS and Android), are always connected to One2Team."

"I find Sciforma's customizability valuable."

"The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."

Cons

"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."

"The UI and UX of Planisware are not that advanced."

"The biggest con for Planisware is that if you are not a Planisware partner, you don't have access to their functions, making it difficult for beginners and new team members."

"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."

"More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration."

"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."

"I have experienced some issues, and that’s okay. It tends to be stable when the server's processing power and memory are adequate."

"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."

More Planisware cons

"The report developer needs a bit of streamlining."

"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved."

"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."

"The solution is expensive and support is an extra cost. There are three license types to choose from, and we only pay for support and cloud services depending on our needs."

"It comes with a high cost."

"There are training and certification costs."

"I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."

"The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
