    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.

    Yes, definitely. We wanted a flexible but robust software and Sciforma seemed to be the best fit

    • The largest con for me is the clunky UI. It's not very intuitive, and has a larger learning curve to become a proficient user.
    • Reports are functional, but could use some improvements.
    • It can be slow at times, and you have to wait to make sure your changes are saved before moving on.

    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.

    • Before Sciforma we were running projects out of Excel and emails. Using a cloud based application means that everyone is viewing information in real time.
    • Our executive leadership knows that they have one place to go for a real time status on all of our strategic projects.
