Projector PSA vs. vRealize Orchestrator (discontined)

We think Projector PSA is a great tool to track and manage people in a professional service environment like management consulting. This system is easy to set up, easy to understand and should easily suit the needs of smaller and medium sized firms. It may be less appropriate for firms that rely very heavily on project management through another system (like MS Project) or firms that rely very heavily on a sales pipeline tracking system. While still very much possible to use, you would (I believe) have to do some re-keying between systems

Capabilities on vRealize Orchestration are effective from the multiple data security provided for all the project data managed on vRealize Orchestration environment is excellent and easy to monitor multiple Cloud data modeling and also effective data extraction capabilities. The real time capability through data analytics results and reporting results are productive.

• Time and expense entry is intuitive and quick for our staff.
• Our forecasting and resource management capability has improved greatly with Projector and allows us to grow our team efficiently with minimal additional administrative burden.

• Orchestration capability is excellent.
• Multiple services Automation is easy.
• Speed of performance through Cloud is excellent.

• Release management process needs to be improved. Currently no facility is provided to test the impact of new releases in a sand-box. This introduces business risk if there are interfaces into Projector PSA as part of it's use in the business.

• The multiple services Automation functionalities can be more stable.
• Data migration speed to improve.
• Not easy learning vRealize Orchestration deep functionalities.

We have been using this tool for a year now and find our use of it continually evolves and broadens. We are also very excited about the overhaul that's under way and feel many of the improvements being put in place will help make us that much more effective and efficient. The Projector team is also very responsive and collaborative in terms of user feedback and improvement suggestions, which helps us know they will work hard to help us get what we need out of the tool.

Desktop interface feels complex to new users.

In 5 years of use we have never experienced an unscheduled outage.

We did pursue Quick Arrow another tool that was similar. We found that be in inflexible in use. Projector allows a lot of flexibility in setup. Our organization has very specific business processes and we were able to set up Projector to work with those processes. Several other systems we tried were not as flexible in allowing set up to our needs.

Unlike the above solutions, vRealize Orchestration provides secure multiple data management environment for easy big data management and easy to transport multiple project data across various Cloud platform very securely and quick saving much time for project and cost management is also a major important thing on vRealize Orchestration, and even creating data analytics is effective.
