Planview
Planview Portfolios is well suited to provide a single, central, view of the truth. There is clear expansion capabilities to integrate it as a true Enterprise toolset with existing organisation wide (not just delivery) - you can pick and choose what you need to implement and that list gets longer. The ability to quickly gain an understanding of resources within the overall portfolio and some really clever tools regarding capacity and demand modelling. I think the only challenge we have encountered is modelling our Business as Usual activity to a level of detail - this is due to other tools being very embedded not just in the organisation but across a lot of industries.

We have been a Planview customer since 1999 and have seen it grow and mature as a tool. We have looked at other tools and have found that PV continues to meet our needs and is easy for our resources to use. They work to stay up on the project management industry and the direction it is going, keep on on current technology so that we can work more effectively, provide excellent customer support and have great pricing for what they offer. We can purchase only the modules we need versus buying a tool where we would only use a portion of the functionality.

The cost of SAP as an ERP is quite high and the switching costs associated with ERP systems are even higher. That being said moving from one ERP to another only happens once in a great while for large organizations. Those switching costs include retraining, IT hardware requirements, outside consultants and more

Day to day data insight is more accurate for manufacturing industry to procure as per forecasted from supplier. Supply and fulfillment cycle becomes more easier. I would say more about performance as we are using this new server so we can see clear difference between SAP S/4HANA Cloud and ECC. Also it has customized business extensions for rapid development.

Performance

There are occasions when the system is a bit sluggish. However, it may not always be on the Planview side. We are investing in better tools to monitor our network performance, which will help us diagnose issues more effectively in the future.

Support Rating
Planview
Going through proper channels of support is fine for minor to moderate issues. However, lately the critical issues that arise have been frequent and the standard support cases do not always seem to relay just how critical these issues are and we have to utilize our customer rep to help escalate. Fortunate to have that escalation method.

SAP requires
a lot of internal and external resources to complete its successful
implementation. The cloud version requires a deeper understanding of the
different capabilities of the local systems (hardware) and the connection
towards your local IT team. We found several problems on our systems that we
couldn't foresee before the implementation and roll out.

In our quest for an ERP solution, we evaluated alternatives such as Oracle ERP Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics 365. However, SAP S/4HANA Cloud's reputation for advanced analytics, scalability, and seamless integration with other SAP solutions made it the natural choice for our organization's digital journey.

Return on Investment
Planview
  • The positive impact is the ability to manage our projects enterprise wide.
  • Managing and reporting on projects and programs via portfolios makes it easy to identify troubled projects/programs that need immediate attention.
  • The negative is that pushing too much change too quickly is hard for us. We need to get our users focused on the basics of PM before we can adopt everything else. We need to introduce change to different companies based on their maturity level. Too much change too quickly is not always beneficial. We need to focus on core competencies.

  • The financial management part ensures every process is well planned and allocated resources are used efficiently.
  • The development of payroll management ensures that all employees are happily remunerated and, hence, very productive.
  • The creation of solid financial reporting acts as the primary driver in decision-making, which brings more insights into development.

Screenshot of END to END VISIBILITY: Planview offers complete visibility across all strategic endeavors, the status, spend, and progress. This gives organizations a connected view of how all initiatives are tracking without having to manage disparate teams and tools.Screenshot of SCENARIO ANALYSIS: Unlike strategic portfolio management solutions that only allow users to create different plans and manually compare them, Planview users can compare plans, analyze investment trade-offs, and prioritize investments across different types of portfolios to ensure delivery of the best outcomes. This helps users to ensure the organization's capacity and investments are aligned to the highest priority initiatives.Screenshot of PERSONALIZED USER EXPERIENCE: Planview can create unique, real-time views based on a job and the status, progress, and other data-oriented use cases. As a result, it can pinpoint where to focus, issues to address, and risks to mitigate in a single view.Screenshot of DYNAMIC PLANNING AND FUNDING: Unlike applications that do not allow for the reprioritization of in-flight initiatives, with Planview you can pivot plans and key priorities at any time, and continue planning as needed based on your organizational strategies and goals. As a result, you get a portfolio mix of investments, initiatives, products, and projects that meet stakeholder and customer expectations.Screenshot of GENERATIVE AI ASSISTANT: Unlike other AI Copilots, Planview Copilot taps into decades of Planview knowledge and learnings from thousands of Planview customers to glean insights, derive recommendations based on best practices, and inform strategic decisions.
