Planview Changepoint is a platform that marries professional services automation (PSA), project portfolio management (PPM) and business analytics to provide managers broad operational visibility and control over their strategic business portfolios.
Creative Cloud for Enterprise is really built for marketing departments and creative teams where the value comes from breadth and collaboration: shared libraries, consistent brand assets across a dozen people, version control on big campaign files, that kind of thing. If your team needs the whole suite and needs everyone working in the same ecosystem, the enterprise licensing model makes sense, and the price reflects real value.
Changepoint is basic and would, therefore, work for businesses with uncomplicated requests, pretty straightforward workflows and willingness to work with an unsightly solution. It is basic, from the UI to the search option and the way the information is captured, which can be frustrating and counter-intuitive at times. It is relatively robust (i.e. I have been using it for almost 2 years and have not seen it crash once) but it does log me out when the system has been inactive for about 30 minutes - and I am only notified about being logged out upon clicking the Submit button, meaning many a line of text have been typed more than once!
Changepoint has significant reporting capabilities, though of course, the data that comes out is only as good as the data that goes in. I enjoy being able to use the standard reports to understand exactly how much a project has cost us and to compare it to how much we are charging. This allows us to more accurately set our prices. Though we have not used the report designer capability, I understand that custom reports can be designed with relative ease.
Changepoint has a versioning capability for changes made to user profiles in the system manager, which I find particularly helpful. As a non-power user, it is valuable to be able to see what changes I have made to various profiles so that I can troubleshoot a problem down the line.
Changepoint has significant functionality well beyond the features that we are currently using, and for this reason, I think it is affordable and a good deal. Particularly if your organization is interested in dedicating the time and resources into using all of the features around project planning, resource allocation, etc., the price is well worth the value.
Adobe’s enterprise licensing model (VIP, Enterprise Agreement, named users, All Apps vs Single Apps, add‑ons like AI Assistant) is difficult to manage at scale, especially across multiple countries and legal entities.
Adobe’s audit and compliance process is highly punitive in tone and structure, even when issues stem from historical deployments or poor uninstall hygiene.
The cost delta between:
All Apps, Single App, Acrobat + AI Assistant.
Is significant, especially for users that only require sporadic access.
We use Changepoint to manage the IS organization. I would like to see more advancement in order to do benefits management.
I would like to see a capability where a project manager can build a very detailed work breakdown structure, but only require project resources to charge time and provide a task status at a higher level.
There is nothing out there that can compete with Adobe Creative Cloud for Enterprise. It is the gold standard in the industry and there is nothing else that we would ever consider using. I have opted to train people in lieu of finding anything more cost effective, because it's worth it to me for people to use the right tool for the job.
Sometimes the decision to renew boils down to an old adage "if it isn't broken don't fix it". Previous to moving to Changepoint, it was obvious that we needed a better project management tool. Projects we completed on time but the time zone difference between the teams and several iterations of back and forth caused a number of communication issues with projects. The difference is night and day.
In terms of overall usability, it ranks really well and is probably a leader in its field. Staff are able to learn the systems straight away due to its in built intuitive interface. Permissions are able to be given at the appropriate level so that it doesn't hold up delivery of assets, but yet keeps security and licence management intact.
There is no comparable tool to Adobe Creative Cloud for Enterprise and its apps. Yes, in some professions you can do fine without it, but the level of produced assets will probably be not of the quality you can produce in Adobe Creative Cloud for Enterprise. The sheer width of the apps, covering all aspects of design and production (Images, videos, documents and others) in one ecosystem is a major advantage that no other company can offer, at this scale and quality.
Planview Changepoint helps us to understand our key customers enabling us to capitalize on every financial opportunity and helps us to forecast demand against the capacities required for new opportunities, and also it automates and monitors contractual terms and conditions. It gives us visibility into our employees' skills and helps to optimize resource allocation.
Employee efficiency has decreased significantly within our Project MAnagement team. The main causes are lack of logical steps/not user-friendly and the slowness of the entire program.
Changepoint PSA has greatly improved being able to track budgets for all projects. Before this software, budgets were done manually by hand and cross-referenced with Accounting. Now, we can pull a report out of the system, as long as all parties entered their time and data correctly.
