Product Details

What is Planview ProjectPlace?

ProjectPlace is the collaborative work management solution from Planview that brings teams together to get work done. Whether a team is down the hall or on the other side of the globe, ProjectPlace aims to provide everything needed to set direction, communicate, execute tasks, track progress, and ultimately achieve goals. A key value proposition is to be one tool designed to work together rather than a collection of point solutions.

The vendor says the the product is built with teams of all size and complexity in mind, from virtual teams of five to entire global enterprises with tens of thousands of active users. ProjectPlace can be started in minutes and scales as new team members join. Since work types vary, ProjectPlace is flexible to fit the job at hand – traditional projects, roadmaps or unstructured work where groups just need to “get stuff done”.

  • Email Reminders.

  • To Do Lists.
  • Under the time tracking, it would be nice to have a set template that would load each week and not have to click a button to load the previous week's template.
  • Somehow making it more intuitive.
  • Having to add in each service line and each detail that I cover for every service line each week is a bit ridiculous.

  • Document storage.
  • Kanban boards.
  • Conversations.
  • Projectplace completion of tasks has to be closed on multiple levels and don't automatically close the task in PPM Pro.
  • Add a "due this month" option in Boards, sorting by the due date. I would like to see not only what is overdue and due in the next two weeks.
  • Finished tasks still sort as overdue on the boards even though they are finished.

  • Workspaces hold all relevant information for a 'project' all in one place including the project plan, team members, work assignments and status of work, communications, documents, and more. And now workspace reports!
  • Projectplace's online educational tools is one of the best vendor help sites I have ever seen.
  • Planview is regularly advancing their solutions. They really do value customers' feedback and work to implement customers' ideas.
  • The integration to PPM Pro for deeper dives with PPM Pro Dashboards. We are already using PPM Pro Dashboard. The new R2D2 dashboards are great. I want to drive our users to one site for reports. I don't want to have to push them to another location, Projectplace, for another source of reports. That is why an enhanced integration is key.
  • I was very surprised when I was first introduced to Projectplace that there is no financial tracking component in the application. If someone is managing a project, they need a way to manage the budget. Would like to see more tools within Projectplace for tracking budget.

  • All the projects that we carry out in our technology area, we can manage them correctly thanks to the Gantt chart system, where we can plan each of the projects, manage the resources of each project and we can also have a vision of the future as the project progresses. It is important to use this great function that Projectplace offers us, since we can anticipate a problem and thus solve it in the shortest possible time.
  • I love the UI that Projectplace offers me. It is an incredible comfort that I feel when I use this platform, it is very effective to have such a comfortable UI because I have been able to manage my projects without having any type of problem or without having to get bored while using the software. Apart from the convenience, it is also important to highlight the organization of all the sections within the platform, I can easily locate the projects area, the team communication area, and the project resources area.
  • The progress of the projects is developed in real time, it is surprising how I can check the progress of the projects that are being developed in my company with just one click. I can know exactly how many changes there have been in the project in a specific way and I can also know who is participating in that project.
  • In our industry, adapting to Projectplace was one of the hardest things we've ever experienced. The implementation process was not that complicated, however, adapting to each of the functions that Projectplace offered us was somewhat complicated, we did not know how to use the Gantt system and we did not know how to collaborate on projects of our colleagues. Planview Projectplace did not offer us any kind of guide or course to understand the functions of this software, we had to learn little by little and thanks to our team specialized in software.

  • It manages teams very well. Teamwork is the key to success and with the help of [Planview Projectplace], the job is done easily, without any hassle.
  • Everyone involved in a project can very efficiently view the progress or what's next in the pipeline.
  • The most enjoyable feature is the charts. With the help of charts, projects/teams become easy to manage.
  • Another particular feature worth receiving acknowledgment is kanban boards. With the help of it, visualization becomes so simple.
  • Sharing documents, because interacting with teammates is efficient with the help of it.
  • The most important thing is pricing. Big organizations can still afford to use it, but small startups or mid-level companies will have to think twice before choosing it.
  • User Interface (UI) is not as crispy as compared to other tools in the market. The UI can definitely be improved.
  • Slow internet ruins this software usage completely. A lighter version should be available to use when your network is slow.
  • Without proper training, it would be messy to understand and use the software at its full potential. So good training should exist.

  • Kanban boards - visual and no brainer to use, it's easy to the "do, doing, done" overall view of things.
  • Document management - really like that this is in-built.
  • Time-tracking - great to keep an eye on how much time is spent on what.
  • The user interface could be definitely be upgraded and streamlined. It's just not that pleasing to look at compared to other similar software out there.
  • It's not easy to link and manage different projects that fall under an overall umbrella.
  • No proper offline solution. You need to be always connected to a good, strong internet to use it properly.

  • Planview Projectplace streamlines interaction between activities within and outside the organization.
  • Planview Projectplace helps in reducing meetings because we are able to collaborate within the tool.
  • I am greatly satisfied with Planview Projectplace as the document management in Planview Projectplace is of top-notch quality.
  • When it comes to Planview Projectplace then there is training required as you will be learning how to manage everybody with one tool.
  • The ‘download’ option for documents is somewhat hidden and it would be nice if the ‘download’ option is next to the file or at least present at a more visible spot. I feel like pictures help a lot when explaining any information so pictorial representation is one thing that is missing in this software that requires attention.

  • Setting up workflows - it's great to see the status of other team members on projects
  • Locking files - I like how when a file is checked out in a workflow, others can't access it to make edits until it is unlocked
  • Organization of groups/boards
  • A lot of our work is dependent on others - content needs to be created before it is laid out on a page, etc - so I wish we could set up email alerts so that cards that are linked to each other can automatically trigger an email informing that a certain task is done so another team member can start their card.
  • Bulk assignment of cards in a project would be useful. In addition, when we duplicate projects, it would be great to have the option to push over the card assignments as well, so we don't have to assign one-by-one.

  • As a cloud based solution, Projectplace is one of the few true multiple location, multi person project management tools available for large teams. The reliability for large projects (with teams of anywhere between 50-200+ people) was a huge selling point for this and I witnessed this first hand.
  • The Windows and Mac applications for Projectplace are well designed and work impressively well for a project management tool. I found most of the teams had either application installed on their machine and did not have any complaints about it.
  • Features like AI and project management viewing styles like Kanban, Ganntt and others make the experience customizable for each user and made them adapt it to their preferred project management style.
  • It is quite pricey for smaller organizations when you compare the annual cost, there are many other solutions that can get the job done for less. In this regard, it is viewed more as an enterprise solution than a solution for any business of any size.
  • While it is a good project management tool, it can be overwhelming to use if you have a lot of tasks and project info to sort through since it is not as intuitive as other project management tools. You may need to have a dedicated person to keeping bigger projects organized.

  • An important benefit of this tool is that it is an application that is very easy to use and also comes with a mobile application that is efficient and effective as well.
  • Other than this, the software has the audacity to do easy management of tasks with other tools like commenting too.
  • The schedule overview in this platform is also simple, helpful, and friendly for all the users.
  • The video conferencing tool has poor quality as compared to other features of Planview Projectplace.
  • As video conferencing has now become very important so that is why this needs to be improved otherwise users can switch to other players as well.
  • Also, dashboards need a lot more improvisation as well because it is not up to the mark as of now.
