Planview PPM Pro
- Easily track project phases and process gates
- Seamless progression from request to project creation
- Reporting & Dashboards - Projects/Request Status
- There is no collaboration tool (messaging, chat, etc.) within Planview
- The user interface can be difficult to follow, cumbersome to navigate
- Creating reports is not intuitive - need training to know how to create even basic reports/dashboards
Good software to unify project efforts, looking forward to using more Planview products!
- Resource allocation
- Action item tracking
- Dashboards
- Issue tracking
- Project to project depedencies
- Financial calculator
Areas where PPMPro is less appropriate for use: Project to project dependencies, automating action item notifications on multiple platforms, integrations of PPMPro into other platforms PMO typically uses (like MS Projects, Teams, ppt, etc)
PPM Pro provides a good solution for the basics of project management for an enterprise
- Customer support via tickets
- Options for paid consulting
- Frequent webinars and roadmap updates
- It is confusing at times to determine when you can get assistance or have to use paid consulting.
- The task management portion of PPM Pro can be cumbersome for the PMs I work with.
Solid Project Management Tool Foundation with Actionable Resource Management Capabilities
- Ease of Custom Filed Creation and Integration
- Ease of Report Data Source and Filter Creation
- Resource Workbench is a powerful tool for Resource Managers
- Reports and Dashboards need visual improvements.
- New Reports and Dashboards cannot use OData.
- Workflow needs to be added to all entities
Planview PPM Pro can work for you too
- Dashboards in real-time
- Interdependencies between projects
- Financials
- Program and Portfolio management - cumbersome to get program or portfolio roadmaps
- High-level capacity management when project timelines change
Doing ok with PPM Pro
- Reports and dashboards to report on the big picture
- The pre-built reports and dashboards
- The managed resource management section
- Managing rates for resources and financials for projects
- There seem to be old features like role groups that don't seem to be useful but would be if implemented correctly
- The portfolio area feels light on features
It is cumbersome to manage large projects with complicated and interconnected tasks.

Planview PPM Pro: Consolidated view of IT Effort
- project roadmaps
- project plans
- program level management
- project roll up health into program views
- analytics - limitation on rows for dashboard reports
- resource planning is not very intuitive
Great, easy to configure tool that has completely changed our view of data and reporting
- New request workflow/kanban board helps visualize where new requests are in the process of the quote to cash/request to completion
- The time tracking tool is tied directly to project tasks for seamless integration of time tracking, estimates, and actuals
- The reporting capabilities and ease of use has allowed us visibility to data that we never had before
- The tool is easily configurable by Administrators. We can add fields, change reports, add new dashboards within hours vs. days of trying to track things manually
- Planview PPM Pro does not fully support agile methodologies from a task and time tracking perspective. It is based on the notion of assigning specific resources to projects and tasks. For fully agile companies, we need to be able to create Teams, with specific roles assigned to each time and/or people assigned to teams, so we can assign the Team and estimate to the task and the data by role will associate. We logged an enhancement with Planview for this.
- The request and project data should be directly tied together, not via an association, so they can travel the kanban process together and simplify reporting
- Timesheet alerts should be set by user type, not all or nothing
Streamline Your Project Management with Planview PPM Pro
One of the standout features of Planview PPM Pro is its ability to help us align our projects with our strategic objectives. The software provides a central platform for organizing and prioritizing projects based on business value, which has helped us ensure that our resources are being allocated to the most important initiatives. Additionally, the reporting and analytics capabilities of the software have been very helpful in tracking the progress of our projects and making informed decisions about where to allocate resources.
Overall, I would recommend Planview PPM Pro to any organization looking for a comprehensive project portfolio management solution. It has proven to be a valuable tool for us in managing our projects and resources, and I believe it could be equally useful for other organizations as well.
- Aligning projects with strategic objectives
- Reporting and analytics capabilities, including the ability to generate custom reports and dashboards
- Integration with other tools like Microsoft Office Suite
- User interface, a bit confusing
- Mobile app is not as fully-featured as the desktop version
- More flexibility in terms of customizing the software to meet specific needs
On the other hand, Planview PPM Pro may not be as well-suited for organizations that have a relatively small number of projects and do not require a full-featured project portfolio management solution. The software can be complex and may be overkill for organizations that do not need all of its features.
Additionally, Planview PPM Pro may not be as well-suited for organizations that have very specific project management needs and require a high level of customization. While the software does offer some customization options, it may not be as flexible as some organizations need.
