OpenText Project and Portfolio Management vs. SAP PPM

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.

It's has all the functionality a proper CMMS tools required, it's act as a blueprint of what exactly all CMMS tools wants. All the features, costing, optimization, asset management all under one bucket. It's less appropriate for people who required simple UI, only some basic system or people with low budget. Because the cost for implementation is very high.

It's very detailed oriented but the UI is difficult to use. It requires proper training and good people to handle day to day activities. The functionality that SAP provides like, Asset downtime, cost optimization, settling of cost at work order level and the moving it to related cost centre, this defines the actual CMMS system which is very useful.
