Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 8, 2026

Planview Portfolios and Planview Daptiv compete in the project management category. Planview Portfolios seems to have the upper hand due to its robust resource management and financial planning features, which are particularly beneficial for large-scale operations.

Features: Planview Portfolios offers comprehensive resource management, financial planning capabilities, and global collaboration tools that enhance organizational efficiency. Data visibility is a key feature, supporting informed decision-making. Planview Daptiv provides flexibility and ease of use with strong customization, a user-friendly platform, and adaptable workflows that integrate smoothly with existing systems.

Room for Improvement: Planview Portfolios could improve its agile features, enhance integration with external tools, and make its interface more intuitive for non-technical users.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Planview Portfolios offers diverse deployment options such as public, private, on-premises, and hybrid cloud, along with responsive customer support. Some users mention slow response times. Planview Daptiv mainly offers public and private cloud deployments, with positive feedback on its prompt technical support and direct communication with users during deployment.

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

"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."

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

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

"The most valuable features are resource allocation and capacity planning."

"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

More Planview Daptiv pros

"The portfolio and technology management are well built."

"The flexibility on offer is very helpful in meeting the organization's needs."

"We've brought our portfolio altogether. We have had multiple ways of reporting out what our portfolio is, whether it's in Excel, Word, or in different places. We brought all of our projects together in one place. That has worked out well for us. We've been able to manage the work on Gantt charts and our resources better. The big thing for us on research and development is around managing people's time, on which projects they are working on, and how much effort does it take to launch our projects."

"I love Planview Portfolios because it has better integration with reporting and other systems compared to the alternatives I had before."

"At the time of evaluation, there were only four or five environments in the entire world that could have met our requirements, and Planview by far was the best."

"As a user, I really liked the ease of the status reporting and the one stop shop of everything being in one location."

"The financial planning capabilities are very useful. We have integration for an SAP system, and so we load financial data from SAP into Planview for prior months. And then we use the forecasting capabilities to get a complete picture of the cost of a specific project. The financial management is very useful."

"The sheer amount of information available in one single interface is valuable. Everything is there. It is also a lot of work to maintain all the information, but generally, you can find everything you need within this one tool."

More Planview Portfolios pros

Cons

"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."

"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."

"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

"There are some issues with how long it takes to load the data to Planview, It just depends on what your setup is. If there was a way Planview could maybe make the loading faster, in case you do have a lot of things going on with your setup."

"Visualization and reporting areas could use improvements by having canned reports."

"We have had some difficulties with trying to get the financial component of it to work the way that we want it to."

"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."

"We have almost like a third-party group who has to do a lot of our configurations. It's a bit painful for us anytime we want to make a change. The other issue is that we have different groups all in the same instance. So, if one group wants to make a change, it impacts everyone. Then, we all have to come together, to say, "Yes, we approve this change, or no, we do not." Thus, it has not been as flexible for us."

"It would be great to see Planview incorporate agile interfacing/methods in it. Like CA Clarity and other leading PPM tools – Planview should enhance or develop the interfaces to ingrate with other market leading Agile tools."

"The scheduling's kind of clunky in terms of its ability for us to see what stage work is at. They could have done better with that. It can be difficult to use."

"I think Enterprise One is great at being a source for data, but our company is still running reports externally."

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."

"The cost of other pieces and integrating them in needs improvement."

"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."

"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."

"I don't know about the actual pricing. I have not come across any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"We are on the Flex licenses."

"Our licensing fees are approximately $50,000 USD annually."

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

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