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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Planisware offers integration with multiple tools and provides a good level of customization."
"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."
"We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."
"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."
"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."
"It has an inbuilt BI tool, which can be compared to Power BI or Tableau."
"Planisware has introduced Agile concepts, making it capable of Agile management similar to Jira and other Agile tools."
"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."
"The product has a lot of integrations."
"I really enjoy the drag-and-drop feature."
"It helped us to organize project information and assign tasks to team members properly."
"Our teams deployed Trello to gain a comprehensive overview of pre-sales activity, monitor project progress, create detailed task lists, and track action items - all critical components for streamlining our organization's operations."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"I like Trello's speed. It is more user-friendly compared to Jira. Jira is technical, whereas the management can use Trello."
"I like the user interface's graphics and the general features and functionalities."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is easy to use and flexible while offering the ease of use of drag-and-drop functionality for each task."
 

Cons

"More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration."
"The UI and UX of Planisware are not that advanced."
"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."
"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."
"I have experienced some issues, and that’s okay. It tends to be stable when the server's processing power and memory are adequate."
"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."
"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."
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."
"I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members."
"It would be good if we could update the project status by email without logging into Trello."
"Trello could improve from a UI and UX standpoint and should consider adding enhanced functionality from a release management standpoint."
"The hardware configuration is limited."
"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."
"In the card area, you should not be able to modify so easily what is already written, as this can cause loss of information."
"Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS."
"Trello has become complex over the years."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes with a high cost."
"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."
"There are training and certification costs."
"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."
"The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
"Maybe it would be better if they offered some extra tiers, so you don't have to go all the way up to the pro level."
"The solution pricing is okay. The pricing is subscription-based and depends on the features that you need. If you need more features then you will need to pay more. You can use the basic features to lead your project management."
"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
"UiPath is cost-efficient."
"It is free."
"We didn't need to pay for the solution."
"I am tinkering with the free version."
