Overall Satisfaction with Planview Enterprise

I worked as a project manager at Aetna INC. I also worked as a Planview SME. Planview Enterprise was used across the company to manage finance for all employees. Planview was used to manage project finances, get finance reports, and submit time sheets. In all I would say Planview Enterprise was one of the [most] useful tools at Aetna INC.
  • Amazing tool to manage finances. We can add work breakdown structure as per the capability pattern of the project and add resources and hours to particular phase/ task.
  • We can get all the finance reports using this tool. These reports give a clear picture about finance and helps us to analyze project finance variance or project health.
  • We can manage project milestones as well using this tool.
  • Like any other tool, It is difficult to understand for a first time user.
  • WBS should get automated, it should have some export feature to save manual time.
  • Planview removes all manual mistakes which we could [have] made in MS Excel.
  • We can set finance for the project also baseline the finance which helps in analyzing variance.
  • In all I would say Planview is more on the positive side only.
Palnview Enterprise has much more status indicators than Microsoft's project management software.
Planview Enterprise is really strong tool to manage resource portfolios and project finances. It is also really user friendly. The different reports we can get from Planview are really helpful for analyzing our finance status. We can check resources task wise. We can allocate resources to any kind of capability pattern. There should just be some automated process to get allocations done resource by resource.
