Likelihood to Recommend Artefact Product Group, LLC
I think 10000ft is good for bare minimum project monitoring, we used it a large company because we didn't need to have exact numbers - it was just a rough idea to see where freelance resources were over burning. If, however you work a much smaller company and really need to know detailed information it's not as effective, there are many other software options that really allow for much closer and precise tracking. I would recommend 10000ft for companies that just need to monitor large freelance teams, track hours and higher level projects that are also monitored on other project management tools. It's a tool I would only use in conjunction with something else.
Read full review Planview Portfolios is well suited to provide a single, central, view of the truth. There is clear expansion capabilities to integrate it as a true Enterprise toolset with existing organisation wide (not just delivery) - you can pick and choose what you need to implement and that list gets longer. The ability to quickly gain an understanding of resources within the overall portfolio and some really clever tools regarding capacity and demand modelling. I think the only challenge we have encountered is modelling our Business as Usual activity to a level of detail - this is due to other tools being very embedded not just in the organisation but across a lot of industries.

The only problem I have with 10000ft is that the design/UI has started to feel a little outdated. I would like to have pre-done integrations with other platforms.

Reporting flexibility so that end users can create their own quick ad hoc reports for analysis. Capturing matrixed skills on resources to ensure staffing is adequate and better align demand to supply. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Artefact Product Group, LLC
I think there's limited uses for the tool and much more comprehensive options out there for multiple tools in one. With more people working remotely, it's hard to just use email and face to face, in some ways you need to have a tool that's a fall back and a record of where you are + where you're going
Read full review We have been a Planview customer since 1999 and have seen it grow and mature as a tool. We have looked at other tools and have found that PV continues to meet our needs and is easy for our resources to use. They work to stay up on the project management industry and the direction it is going, keep on on current technology so that we can work more effectively, provide excellent customer support and have great pricing for what they offer. We can purchase only the modules we need versus buying a tool where we would only use a portion of the functionality.
Read full review Usability Artefact Product Group, LLC
The toolset is provisioned as a SaaS solution making it very easy to scale up / down as our user bases increase/decrease. There are some features around the planning capability that could be improved to enable ease of access to our PMs e.g. dependency management (while powerful) dependency management doesn't allow you to add constraints in the same field - you have to click to a separate area

There are occasions when the system is a bit sluggish. However, it may not always be on the Planview side. We are investing in better tools to monitor our network performance, which will help us diagnose issues more effectively in the future.
Read full review Support Rating Artefact Product Group, LLC
They have been super responsive every time we need them. We built ourselves some integrations with other internal systems, and whenever we needed clarification or help to complete said integrations, they were super responsive. They have a very technical background which makes it super easy to work with when you present to them technical challenges regarding integrations or the use of their API.
Read full review Going through proper channels of support is fine for minor to moderate issues. However, lately the critical issues that arise have been frequent and the standard support cases do not always seem to relay just how critical these issues are and we have to utilize our customer rep to help escalate. Fortunate to have that escalation method.

Generally good. Sometimes, users are a bit overwhelmed, and it takes multiple sessions for them to get the hang of it.
Read full review Implementation Rating Artefact Product Group, LLC
Always have a pre-implementation meeting or conference call with Planview to ensure all are on the same page, disclosure of all and any customization (including reports) and plan for support after implementation of a specified amount of time with the assigned implementation resource.

Read full review Return on Investment Artefact Product Group, LLC
Better at adjusting budgets in real-time Gets us away from complex spreadsheets like Excel and Sheets Feels like we have been a bit more scalable in our approach thanks to this software Read full review The positive impact is the ability to manage our projects enterprise wide. Managing and reporting on projects and programs via portfolios makes it easy to identify troubled projects/programs that need immediate attention. The negative is that pushing too much change too quickly is hard for us. We need to get our users focused on the basics of PM before we can adopt everything else. We need to introduce change to different companies based on their maturity level. Too much change too quickly is not always beneficial. We need to focus on core competencies.
