"The perfect solution for project portfolio management, particularly for a low-maturity organisation"

5/5

What do you like best about Acuity PPM?

Super simple to set up and navigate. Clean user interface, and great functionality that allows you to manage a Project Portfolio effectively. The perfect system for an organisation with a low or developing maturity in Project Portfolio management, as it's simple to implement and use, and you aren't paying for a hundred advanced features you don't really need. I spent 8 months looking for a solution for Portfolio management, and Acuity is the only one I found that delivers a simple solution, suitable for most organisations - it doesn't try to be a Project Management software solution, which means it can be implemented on top of existing Project Management software seamlessly. On top of that, the Acuity team behind the scenes are constantly releasing new features and developments, have offered endless support in our implementation, and are committed to their vision of building a lightweight Project Portfolio Management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity PPM?

Some aspects of the functionality and workflows are a little clunky, that require a few more clicks that necessary to get to the end state. Not a big deal, but can sometimes be a little annoying.

Unable to export Project Status Updates to a format suitable for Exec level reporting is also a downside. Again, workarounds exist, but hope to see this functionality improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acuity PPM:

If you're still using spreadsheets to manage your project portfolio, don't hesitate to try Acuity - it's super cost-effective and easy to setup. Don't expect it to replace your Project Management tools - it sits above those tools and processes to capture just the high level data you need for Portfolio management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acuity PPM solving and how is that benefiting you?

For the first time, we have good visibility of our entire portfolio of projects. Using the system, we're now able to track the status of our projects, provide meaningful reporting to our Executive, and we have the data available to really analyse the effectiveness of the entire portfolio.

"FANTASTIC!"

5/5

What do you like best about Acuity PPM?

I really love Acuity PPM. It has a clean, intuitive user interface that was accessible to my entire project team, regardless of computer expertise. The various built-in query and reporting visualizations make it easy to see the status of your whole portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity PPM?

Acuity is designed for portfolio management, not specific project management, but it integrates with other industry-recognized PM tools like Smartsheets. This wasn't an issue for me or my team, but it is something to be aware of in your assessment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acuity PPM:

Acuity is a fantastic new software offering that fills a critical niche in the PM industry. It's far more user-friendly than the Portfolio tool available in Microsoft Project. The best thing about it is the support - this product is new to the market and is VERY open to user feedback and feature requests. That said, it's clean, streamlined, and bug-free -- much better than you would usually expect from a new product offering! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acuity PPM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Acuity made it simple to keep track of my whole portfolio and to show my PMO team's progress (and value!) to our top management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
