EPM Live vs. ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management

I think EPM Live might be the right solution for a much smaller company, who does mainly business to business material sales. As a software company with a ramped subscription model and heavy use of Salesforce, it was not well suited to our business.

Monthly planning cycle: Business Stakeholders submit their feature requests and ideas, IT experts assess them and add Effort Estimation IT management set sprint SOW with the Business stakeholders Resources are planned, requested, and allocated. The job is done, change management process is conducted including weekly CAB meetings (Change Advisory Board). The change is deployed and documented.

• This is a solid product. I do not have any suggested changes based on our experience. Cannot understand why there are any negative reviews here. The reviewer(s) must not have given the product a fair chance.

• New UI is bad. Transition is not liked by users
• Notifications can be improved. The mail notifications are little off
• Category changes are not supposed to be hard

The product is just not fitting our needs so we are looking at other alternatives. The system has gone down 3 times in the last 6 months and was down for at least half a day, timesheets have duplicate tasks, and it takes too long to save and submit. When trying to process updates it randomly changes our dates so we have to go back and fix them, sometimes tasks are lost and the system is just very confusing and hard to manipulate

We get support when needed.
