Overall Satisfaction with Planview Daptiv

It supports us prioritising,
managing, controlling and reporting projects/portfolios from ideas through
to realisation of benefits in order to support achievement of financial
objectives.
  • offers good a good user roles & rights concept
  • supports individual setup of Dynamic Applications for different purposes
  • in combination with the implemented BI software IBM Cognos you may design your individual as well as company wide template reports
  • In my opinion, APIs / integrations are sometimes coming to their limit
  • In my experience, no general archive available - therefore data sets cannot be frozen
  • Data roll-up for different hierarchy levels (program / project / sub-project) is very limited, in my opinion.
  • In my opinion, when having showing a large number projects navigation on project tab is not very handy
  • Transparency of Financial impacts (reporting)
  • Overview of Project landscape (reporting)
  • Project Management (operational work)
  • Group strategy fit (strategic alignment)
  • Pos.: Establishing of a single source of truth within the company
  • Pos.: Getting transparency on project landscape & spendings
  • Pos.: Supports like-for-like comparison of different projects
Planview Daptiv supports a way more holistic approach, offering more different functions (e.g. portfolio management)

Positive: - Easy entry of profile and status updates - Native Dynamic Applications cover basic needs - Custom DAs can be added quite easily - ... Negative: - Missing data archive to enable the review of historic data sets (Status history covers only entries of this section) - Design / Look and feel looks a little bit outdated, in my opoinion - In my experience, the Task section it is sometimes hard to find the right way to get your data into the system (especially for beginners), e.g. "Edit Task" versus "Update Task" (accessable via different ways and hard to distinguish) - ...
