Overall Satisfaction with Planview Portfolios

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Planview Portfolios for Project planning, Capacity Planning and Time reporting. Currently working on an expansion of functionality across the company.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Robust workflow capabilities
Timesheet tracking and reporting
Project planning with full PMP - PMI type capabilities in one place

Cons

The User Interface is antiquated and not intuitive for the user
Some of the functionality is limited around project planning and flexibility with making changes, running schedules, baselining (would like Planview Portfolios to keep version history automatically like Word or Excel does.
Expensive - would like to have different license types for the users that do more than entering time, but don't need full access so we can lessen the expense.

Usability

It is a complex system, and the UI is not intuitive.

Alternatives Considered

Adobe Workfront

The functionality is there, but the Workfront UI is much more progressive and User Friendly.
