Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 3, 2026

Planview Portfolios and Planview Daptiv compete in the project management software category. Based on feature comprehensiveness, deployment flexibility, and pricing, Planview Portfolios appears to have the upper hand.

Features: Planview Portfolios is valued for its resource management, financial planning, and collaboration capabilities. It offers a centralized platform for both agile and hybrid project methodologies. On the other hand, Planview Daptiv is noted for robust resource allocation and project control functions, though it may not be as feature-rich as Planview Portfolios.

Room for Improvement: Planview Portfolios could improve its user interface and standardize automation and agile features. Its reporting capabilities also need easier configuration. Planview Daptiv could enhance user interface consistency and integration functionalities, potentially improving effectiveness by specializing in specific areas.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Planview Portfolios offers deployment on various platforms including public and private clouds, and on-premises, providing more flexibility than Planview Daptiv, which is primarily available on the public cloud. Customer service for both is mixed, with Planview Portfolios noted for proactive support but inconsistent responses, and Planview Daptiv with varying response experiences.

Pricing and ROI: Planview Portfolios is perceived as offering a good balance of cost and value, with multiple licensing models like the FLEX plan enhancing its appeal, especially for mid-to-large enterprises. Planview Daptiv's pricing is seen as complex with varying costs based on user roles, though initial setup is considered cost-effective. Both platforms demonstrate ROI through project visibility and resource management, but Planview Portfolios is seen as having a broader business impact.

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.

Centralized planning has improved resource visibility and supports data‑driven financial decisions

The best features Planview Portfolios offers are visibility enhancement, robust system performance, and comprehensive resource management. This enhanced visibility in Planview Portfolios ensures that all users can easily track progress, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions to optimize workflow efficiency. When discussing robust system performance, the system's robust performance in meeting our various work requirements effectively and efficiently stands out. It is very stable and reliable, contributing to a seamless user experience, which enables users to focus on their tasks without disruptions. I also love the financial breakdown, planning and prioritization, and attribute collection on projects in Planview Portfolios. Planview Portfolios has positively impacted my organization since I started using it. It has enabled me to gain insights into the full scope of work consuming resources. I am able to know where the resources are being consumed more, especially which resources are consuming the most. I have been able to leverage resources management and resource time reporting, which enabled the generation of $90 million in annual revenue through labor billing to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

"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."

"Consequently, it is the single point of truth for both our project managers and our senior leadership."

"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."

"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 experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."

"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."

"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."

More Planview Daptiv pros

"The overall interface is very easy to use. It puts together strategy and execution across all your investments."

"Enterprise One has improved my organization with the ability to look at the hours that people track, and as we grow within Enterprise One, we're able to pull reporting to see how much time it takes for each individual person or a team to perform a task to complete a project, so we can build estimation models that improve forecasting and reduce the amount of time project managers spend building project plans."

"One of the reasons why I love Enterprise One so much is due to the fact that, when I first started using it in 2014, when I was given the role to help administrators, there was an assumption that this tool was too complex."

"I like that everyone is able to see the same data. All of our users who aren't just time reporters have read access to all the data that is out there. So, it is one source of truth where everybody can go in and see the exact same data that everybody else sees. It is transparent."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."

"Having that being sort of a single source of truth for the risks and for the resource forecast, that's been very useful for us."

"Planview has helped connect funding and strategic outcomes with work execution."

"The Kanban board has really helped us be more agile and we can keep track of everything that is ongoing."

More Planview Portfolios pros

Cons

"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 i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."

"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."

"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."

"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."

"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."

"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."

More Planview Daptiv cons

"Sometimes within the application, when you pull a report, it takes awhile performance-wise for the reports to pull up."

"One area where Planview Portfolios could be improved is the reporting module, which needs to be more flexible as it is not easy to switch between data representations easily."

"The UI needs improvement. The UI should have more possibilities for users who are not specialized in using Planview. At the moment, it is more of a technical UI. I would like it to be an open user UI."

"I think that the user interface needs some getting used to. It's not immediately intuitive. That's potentially room for improvement. I think also that an organization needs to have good support from some senior management to get something like Planview established."

"One of the reasons why we've upgraded so many times is because of performance standards. We've just run into issues where we've had performance problems. Maybe they are not upgrading, but they're adding more horsepower. Then, we do go upgrade and lose that horsepower, which is frustrating from my perspective as an admin to lose that horsepower. Hopefully, that'll change."

"Some of the out-of-the-box reporting is not immediately useful and although it can be configured or customized, there are still improvements that can be made."

"I think some of the administrative aspects of it could be a little easier, especially when it comes to designing reports. The reporting coming out of it could be a little bit better."

"The solution is stable. However, it's so robust, there's so much data, that it has the tendency to lag."

More Planview Portfolios cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."

"With the costs, they were very understanding. Knowing that we were an existing customer, they were very much willing to work with us to make sure that we were able to transition to Enterprise One from PPM Pro."

"We have portfolio managers, resource managers, project managers, and time reporting licenses. These are the licenses that we have."

"I think all in we are at $33,000 a year and that includes Projectplace and Planview. We used to have the integration to JIRA, but we don't pay for that anymore."

"The licensing part is a bit costly in comparison with the other available PPM tools."

"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."

"Planview is a little pricey. From a licensing perspective, for just a simple timesheet user who does nothing in the system but reports time, the licensing is a little pricey, but you have to look at it from what it is that you get. We have 6,000 users, and I don't manage the system at all. I just have to do add them to the system. The servers, maintenance, OS levels, security patching for the OS, and all other things are not something that we maintain. So, you have to look at it from an operational perspective. It is not just the product itself. A holistic view has to be taken when you look at the product and how you're going to support it. I would have to hire an entire operation staff to bring it in-house, and at the end of the day, that might cost me more."

"In the time that I've used it, we've doubled up the amount of dollars on our intended projects."
