Overall Satisfaction with Planview PPM Pro (formerly Innotas)

It is being used by several departments, but not across the whole enterprise. We use it for status reporting to executives, some portfolio management, scheduling, project management, and some timekeeping. It helps ensure we have one location for the single source and updated truth about a project.
  • Allowing highlighting of milestones on an executive status.
  • Using reports and dashboards to create an executive view.
  • Project schedules online.
  • Needs task baselining.
  • It is very complex with all its capabilities and could use a way to simplify. For instance, using LeanKit, Pro and ProjecPlace together are not always clear for the best use.
  • Positively for executive status reporting so that we can provide the latest updates on project health to executive management.
  • Cannot think of a negative that PPM Pro has on our business objectives—it is there to help us meet them more efficiently.

Would you buy Planview PPM Pro again?

On-premise only, not online. Microsoft has a stronger scheduling engine but capabilities and growth in PPM Pro is excellent.
Pro is best suited for traditional project management and scheduling. Dashboards and reports are very good for executive status reporting. Pro is less appropriate for large enterprise capabilities and agile work. Though more is being integrated from LeanKit all the time, which should address that shortcoming.
