    For organizations with 10+ employees, I think it is suitable. Smaller shops might find it overly complex.

    For Project Management, Micro Focus PPM includes all most every feature you need. You can manage your projects using work plans, project health, resource assignments, actuals, and costs. Additionally, you can get required approvals with workflows like sponsor approval or CR approvals. However, at project costing we need to make customizations due to lack of several outsource costs on it.

    I would like to give 10 but there are lots thing to improve such as difficult to customize report, agile project integration with alm tool, custom financial an dynamic cost /benefit group type, dynamic project indicator and kpi. However it is because of standard already bundle as out of the box feature.

    Connectwise was the 600 pound gorilla with lots of features, but it was also the titantic, too big to get out of its own way. We found it too complex to use and too archaic to integrate with. As powerful as it was, it was missing a few key features that a modern PSA like CloudBlue had as a matter of course. CloudBlue feels like the new generation, and so far it's only gotten better as they grow.

    Return on Investment
    Ingram Micro
    • It's allowed us to migrate away from home grown solutions to adhere to industry standards and better utilize our engineer's time.
    • Quoting new projects and hardware is easier to delegate and vastly more efficient than our previous methods.
