Product Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Helps to organize projects across multiple teams and automates manual tasks

Integration with other tools can sometimes be a hiccup, but this isn't necessarily a limitation of Planview AdaptiveWork. It's more often a result of company policies regarding integration with other systems and tools. From what I've gathered from discussions on various platforms, it appears that AdaptiveWork does integrate well with other tools. However, our experience is limited due to company policy restrictions. Some teams use it in agile settings. We follow the waterfall approach. I would recommend it, but users should ensure they strategically build out their workflows and logic. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

A complete and useful solution, but it should be easy to use, and they should provide fast support

Their support team should provide the answers fast because it impacts our daily operations. We use the app every day. We have about 70 projects managed in the app, but their responses are too slow. They can take three or four days to analyze a problem. We have a connection-related problem, which is impacting our daily operations, but we have had the same status for the last two months. It is not easy. The deployment of the application and its functionalities are not easy. It is a complex process to create accounts, names, and catalogs. There should be more operational reports. They have a set of internal reports, but they can't be customized. You don't have the permissions to configure your own reports, which is a very big issue. Currently, you have to ask for permission in order to configure simple filters. You have to ask a third party to configure it. It is expensive, and it also takes a lot of time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that has improved our project planning the most is the ability to create custom workflows, which allows us to automate manual tasks that project managers need to perform. The collaboration feature enhances our team's productivity by allowing individuals to see the impact of their decisions on projects owned and managed by other teams."

"Clarizen Slide Publisher has helped increase transparency and communication with project stakeholders for us."

"I like the project management solution. It's really nice."

"Clarizen's strength is reporting. Aside from reporting, I also like the ability to create customized workflow and custom actions. The workflow rules are handy. For example, you can create custom fields and dependent picklists."

"Projectplace absolutely supports collaboration in real-time. It's probably one of the best tools out there for collaboration. It affects the project's progress quite a bit. I have started two very similar projects in two separate business units, on very similar teams. I did one with Enterprise One, I did one with Projectplace just to see how the mileage would vary. The one with Projectplace had a very short cycle time so we were able to finish the project earlier. The one with Enterprise One was less engaging and it took a little more time. Because we were tracking the tasks inside the schedule it was not on the cards."

"It is a complete solution. It is very useful for the management of our internal processes."

"Projectplace has excellent collaboration features, including some nice kanban boards. We use DocuSign, and Planview just integrated it into Projectplace, so that was helpful. And I like the fact that it links to Enterprise One, the other Planview tool that we use to manage our capital portfolio."

"Clarizen's slide publisher is one of my favorite features."

"I love the collaborative nature just from my role to help. I'm a strategist. I help manage those large strategic projects. Implementation is one significant piece of my role, but I love the collaboration that can exist within the tool."

"Planview Projectplace is a really good solution for document sharing and keeping track of the history of changes in the document. I also like that you can have everything you need for a project in one place, for example, for documentation, planning, and even resource planning."

"Right from the initial steps, we found this product easy to use."

"The most useful features of Planview are its integration with resource management and the ability to commit and reserve various resources."

More Planview ProjectPlace pros

Cons

"It could be more user-friendly. I think it is too overwhelming, initially, in terms of possibilities and so on."

"One specific area for improvement could be implementing a development environment to test workflows with live production data."

"I felt like the slide publisher isn't that user-friendly. I think it wasn't that easy to use or to figure out because of formatting constraints, or maybe we need to get better at understanding some of its limitations."

"If I start customizing too many things, Clarizen tends to get really slow in our environment and especially if I'm tunneled in an environment, like if I'm connected to my VPN."

"It is not easy. The deployment of the application and its functionalities are not easy. It is a complex process to create accounts, names, and catalogs."

"The reporting end of it needs improvement. There should be more reporting, more data at your fingertips. It should be easier and a little more user-friendly. I know there is some there, but it's just how do you get more meat on the bones, if you will, of what's available."

"Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two."

"I believe that the graphs, reporting, and connection with the slides are areas that need improvement."

"We'd like to see a heartier connection between Projectplace and Enterprise One. We know that's on their roadmap, but they haven't gotten there yet. Planview could also make better use of Projectplace's template capability."

"If the mobile app were improved to show more information then it would be good."

"They should also improve the interface. There are other competitors like Microsoft Project for the web, Wrike, Team Gantt who have a way better, modern user interface."

"In terms of what could be improved in Planview Projectplace, it would depend on the purpose, because if you talk about resource planning, from my perspective, it's not the best tool. It would also depend on the company itself, for example, I've been working with another company and Planview Projectplace was needed more for workload and resource planning purposes, and I don't think the solution covered those purposes well. Its resource planning and workload functions need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I would say the licensing maturity was probably a three out of five. They have a long way to go before they can scale out and retain enterprise customers."

"I believe it is a good value for money for the service they provide and the tailored program. When compared to Microsoft Project."

"I think the price of Projectplace is highly reasonable for the amount of functionality that you get. We have what they call a FLEX License. That means you get Projectplace, Enterprise One, and Leankits all on the same license. That's great because then you can use the other products without any additional cost."

"In my opinion, the pricing is reasonable."

"It can be expensive, but if you see the functionalities and the processes, it's not as expensive as other applications. We pay about 1 million Mexican Pesos per year for all 100 licenses."

"The cost of this product is mid-range. It's not too expensive but not the cheapest on the market."
