Planview Daptiv vs. SAP Portfolio and Project Management

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.

SAP Project and Portfolio Management is well suited in the area of Project Management. It gives the option to create projects from standard templates and makes it easier for the Project manager to modify based on the need. The project Manager shall be able to create a detailed project plan with timelines, Milestones, and delivery dates. Every phase of the project is controlled by a status mechanism, thereby ensuring the tracking of the project's progress.

• 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.

• It routes travel for approval to different parties.
• It keeps track of vacation days and time off.

• 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

• Migrate more features Fiori UI/UX

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.

I believe the functionality of the modules is designed and build based on multiple parallel industries and constantly evolved from multiple lesson learn from the past.

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

This product is very customer-centric and solution-based for SAP Project Management. It has very good web-based UI. Portfolio and Project Management in one single platform which is very rare in different project management products. Effective tool to manage projects, portfolios, budget and schedule. KPI and Reporting is one of the best features of this product.

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

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.

The other tools are doing more to automate and stay ahead of today's technological needs.

We are quickly able to add more users as needed.

• 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.

• No additional cost for 3rd party Project Management tools.
• 20% cost saved.
