Overall Satisfaction with Planview Projectplace

Planview Projectplace is being used throughout the organization mainly by project management teams across the development teams. Multiple locations and countries often collaborate together using English as the main language that is used on the software. The business problems addressed are mostly tracking of to-do items related to project management milestones. It has been especially useful in terms of allocating tasks across a board and enabling everyone to edit their tasks so it decreases the amount of time project managers need to spend in order to get updates.

I haven't had to use much support, but overall when I had questions it was easy to find the answers to my questions online or reaching out to others. Team members have also said that they've gotten support when they needed (either internally or reaching out to the company) and overall support for Planview Projectplace was a non-issue at my organization.
Overall, it's very easy to use, the UI is very straight-forward which has been great for non-software developers for whom Azure Devops or Jira might prove to be too complicated. The base feature set is good and accomplished the project tracking and scheduling tasks that we wanted out of it, we didn't use it too much for document management since we required something with more seamless integration.
We selected Planview Projectplace since while Jira is great for Agile software teams, often there was a barrier to entry for project and program managers who were more interested in higher level task tracking around deliverables, etc. Planview Projectplace had enough features to be useful but not so many that start-up and onboarding of new members was time intensive so it ended up being a good tool for the needs for our project manager and team.
Overall a decent, easy to use software that we've used for project tracking for program managers. The boards are easy to navigate and helpful for teams that are spread across time zones or locations that make real-time updates more difficult. Great for smaller teams that have already aligned on objectives and are now managing implementation, but maybe less great for teams who are in the process of aligning or brainstorming as it's features as less well developed for those types of exercises.
