Overall Satisfaction with Planview Enterprise One (formerly Planview Enterprise and Troux)
[We're] Using it as a project/portfolio management tool within the IT department. It has a very simple user interface, and self-explanatory screens/tabs. Project search capability using filters and bookmarks is nice. Task level administration for actual vs. expected % of completions is helpful. It's good for assigning resources at the task level for billing purposes. Reporting modules, with all the RGB statuses of various projects, are in one place at the portfolio level. Project's weight-age [are available] by portfolio for prioritization and funding approval.
- Simple to use
- Not an expensive S/W for small organizations
- User based licensing fee
- It's not updating the Task level % completion, when we update the individual tasks % completion at the sub-levels. This manual work needs to be eliminated.
- Gives the overall project status within a Portfolio and as well across the portfolios.
- CA Clarity
- Microsoft Project Plan
Yes, we have contacted the Planview support team a few times [on matters] related to the licensing issues and the response was prompt.
It gives the overall picture of the resource assignment vs. the budget consumption at the project/portfolio/organization level.
We have used this S/W product, mostly within IT department alone.
- We may be expanding the usage to the entire organization.
- Collaborate on the IT vs. business project approvals and funding based upon the priorities.
