Copper Project vs. Planview Daptiv

Copper Project is one of the best online project management and communication tools are available for businesses of all types. Creating and assigning the task to other team members becomes easy as it does on its own easily.

I would recommend Daptiv for anyone who is look for a collaborative tool that is easy to use and provides excellent results for project management and resource allocation. The tool offers many various capabilities and is not isolated for use with one or two workgroups. Its versatility allows many workgroups across many different organizations to use it. In my previous role, I used Daptiv in both a Project Management and Account Services Information Technology role. In my current workplace, I would like to leverage Daptiv for Product Launch and tracking as well as change request visibility in the Release Management Organization of a pharmaceutical company. Both roles and companies are vastly different however Daptiv would serve a great purpose in both situations although my needs are different.

• It has been a great find for me as it reduces my work and make me more productive at other work which I usually neglect them because of excessive work.
• The platform is trending on top of list worldwide because of its stand out feature task structure.
• It comprises all the best tools and strategies that involve a successful activity development system.

• Resource allocation, when fully integrated provides a in depth view of what everyone is working on, as well as their availability.
• Portfolio reporting provides a good view of where all projects are at in their lifecycle.
• Time tracking is simple to use.

• The biggest drawback that Copper Project has that it becomes slow at times [in my experience].
• Secondly, to manage anything in the platform I have to make a ticket every time to make any changes which are frustrating for me a lot.
• [In my experience] it usually becomes clunky and slow while dealing with large requests which need to be change and functionality needs to improve more.

• 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

As previously mentioned, we were not able to get the product to solve our particular problem. After time spent implementing a custom solution, it was the decision of the executive team to discontinue the agreement. The costs of training the team didn't outweigh the cost of hiring an employee to do the translation of schedules to web view.

The main thing that I have to apologize for is the UI. Does the job but just not the flexible responsive experience that most users are used to.

In the 3 years I have worked with Daptiv I think it is been down once. The ONLY partial outages I have ever had have been with report automation.

Good support team! Developed relationships and were very pleasant to talk to. Daptiv went above and beyond on ensuring the customers were satisfied

I recommend using daptiv resources on your implementation to help with setup and training.

Integration of the Copper Project is amazing. It is designed on such a great module that it can easily integrate with any other software. I have a lot of software already in my organization which we are using to handle different processes in the organization, Copper Project easily integrated with them and gives me all in one platform to manage all of my activities on one platform which is a great help for me.

AdaptiveWork might not necessarily have robust Analytical abilities that Daptiv IBM Cognos BI tool have, but from the introduction I have seen of the product it has impressive capabilities. It is still work in progress and still learning about AdaptiveWork and looking forward to implementing and supporting it in the near future.

We are quickly able to add more users as needed.

• This feature is also helping me a lot in making project structure and prioritizing things according to the flow of work, which is great as it gives clear path what to do next.
• Customer support of Copper Project is very professional.
• I recently had some problems while using the platform, they listened to the problem carefully and responded with a more feasible and workable solution within the limited time frame, which gives me the confidence to use the platform more in-depth.

• I am in the process of establishing a hard dollar ROI received from Daptiv. However, there have been many soft dollar benefits we have achieved. Soft benefits include IT teams that are more aligned to business objectives, "one version of the truth" for where work is being performed and resources consumed, and more accurate estimation of project requests.
