OpenText Project and Portfolio Management Reviews

Project management, time and resource management, demand management, and workflow automation.

These are the most critical and important modules that can make the PPM usage successful.

These are connected to each other. If want to do PPM, you can not say 'I will not manage demands', nor can you say 'I will not do resource management, etc.'

These modules are the base for a successful PPM usage. If you use these modules properly (with industry best practices), you will get the most out of it.

We gained analytics about where the bottlenecks are, increased accurate decision making, and it provides us with several "versus" visibility.

Portfolio management, hybrid project management, top-down budget and resource planning, application portfolio management.

Eight years.

Sometimes, yes. Especially in a Windows environment.

Sometimes, yes. That might depend on the Windows environment.

They can take to the result which is expected from them.

No.

Straightforward, because we decided to align with best practices.

Power license must be divided. Administration and project management shouldn't be in the same package.

CA Clarity, IBM, and Microsoft. Did not evaluate Planview that time.

Keep it simple, of course. Apply phased or sprint based approach. Not Big Bang.

Demand, Dashboard, and Reporting. These are the most powerful modules for our customers

Our customers mostly use the above mentioned modules. Visibility, standard processes, faster development, and much less time spent for reporting

Project and Portfolio.

We have used this since 2007.

I did not encounter any issues with stability.

I did not encounter any issues with scalability.

We are somewhat satisfied with tech support.

We were not using a previous solution. Our customers were facing issues, such as hard to implement changes in old tools, no info, slow development, and no resource management. Some customers had Excel. PPM solved these issues.

It depends on customers' expectations. Some customers wanted a complex process for the start and some started with easier processes.

Our biggest competitors are MS Project Server, CA Clarity, and JIRA.

It is easy to perform changes (workflow/process). Even the customer can easily administer and develop it.

Demand Management and reporting are the most valuable features.

There is a need to improve the following modules:

• Project Management
• Program Management
• Portfolio Management
• Financial Management
• Time Management
• Resource Management

We are HPE PPM implementors since the year 2007.

There were no stability issues.

There were no scalability issues.

It takes longer but we always get help from the technical support.

Our customer was using another product. The older Demand Management tool was hard to develop and not so flexible so we switched over to this product.

The HPE PPM license prices are a bit high. HPE PPM does not support agile management. HPE ALM Octane, that supports agile projects, costs are extremely high.
