Overall Satisfaction with Planview Projectplace
Disclaimer here - we did a 30 day demo of the full version when trying out many project management platforms and wanted to exhaustively test the forms/intake requests and project management features for managing multiple departmental areas. We were using it just for our department. Just our campus location and we set it up exclusively in English (not sure if other languages are supported).
- Request forms are adequate and customizable
- Supports multiple views
- Has calendar/meeting space/zoom integration
- Kanban boards took a while to figure out how to add files, custom tags, etc.
- The documents pane could use better organizational tools
- Steep learning curve for our application needs
- Overview dashboard isn't customizable (that we could find)
- We needed activities (projects) to contain multiple sub projects for campaigns - couldn't find that functionality but maybe it was buried
Do you think Planview ProjectPlace delivers good value for the price?
Not sure
Are you happy with Planview ProjectPlace's feature set?
Yes
Did Planview ProjectPlace live up to sales and marketing promises?
I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process
Did implementation of Planview ProjectPlace go as expected?
I wasn't involved with the implementation phase
Would you buy Planview ProjectPlace again?
No
Most of the apps we tried were explicitly marketed for creatives, but some of them did not offer more agency minded features like Kanban boards and request forms which we have grown accustomed to. We eventually selected another solution instead of Projectplace.
