What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

The data refreshes in real time and if you update data in one area of the system, it automatically transfers to other areas, whether that is the planning section, reports, or dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

Some of the usability for creating and editing the system (i.e. dashboards) is not straightforward so it can be a little frustrating trying to change the formatting to how I want things (it is a learning curve!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

The most valuable part of Bubble PPM has been having a "single source of truth" and a consistent language to manage multiple portfolios, each with many projects. Having a summary at any time of all projects with their status is incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

A substantial implementation effort may be necessary to get started, which is why the help from the team at Bubble PPM is invaluable starting from early stages. Establishing a consistent innovation process is a lot of work, but is also the most valuable outcome of using the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bubble PPM has helped organize a new product development process across multiple portfolios of developed and managed products. When we began scoping our need for a software solution, many projects were competing for priority, with separate managers and stakeholders each with their own perspective. Getting enterprise-wide visibility to the pipelines of projects underway and having consistent metrics to prioritize which projects were critical across portfolios was an enormous benefit.

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

Bubble PPM is a great Project Management / Delivery / Tracking tool that has tons of features which can cater to the most complex PM teams. At vFairs, we have a complicated business model requiring extensive customisation. Bubble PPM immediately understood our problem statement and effectively gave us an outstanding solution that caters directly to all our Project Management issues. Furthermore, their support and business continuity team has been fantastic in assisting us with our never-ending wish list of features which we had overlooked in our original scope of work; I don't think any software company is as flexible and helpful as Bubble PPM has been. We are incredibly appreciative of their brilliant customer service and continual cooperation in any problems that arise daily within the solution provided to us. Last but not least, fantastic UI and very easy to use product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

Don't think there is anything I dislike about the product. However, I feel that feature updates to the product are a bit slower than expected, and Bubble PPM needs to up its game on Email Notifications & Alerts that come from the system. However, everything else that the product offers easily makes up for this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bubble PPM has effectively provided a solution that gives us excellent tracking for all our virtual events. It has also given us fantastic dashboard reporting for all the metrics we need packaging it into a beautiful UI. Bubble PPM has also given us a very robust resource allocation module that allows us to assign projects by looking at the workload capacity of our Project Managers.

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

I find that the application offers a "one-stop-shop" for project & portfolio management. A project page in Bubble encompasses both plan, various attributes, financials, risks, resource mgmt, scorecards, dashboards, document library and team collaboration possibilities.

As such, it is clear that the system was designed and built by project management professionals as it offers a more holistic approach compared to other PM software providers. Elements that are often somewhat neglected such as governance enforcement and lessons learned are integrated into the system, seamlessly pushing a project excellence agenda.

Additionally, the Bubble Team is very customer service-focused. They were a great sparring partner during the configuration stage, challenging processes etc. and following deployment have been both timely and proactive in their support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

- Dashboard color options are limited and can not be customized to match our company color scheme

- Dashboard exports can be buggy and new errors often appear, across project/portfolio dashboards as well as plan exports

- The "Planning" module is not very mature - there are limitations in terms of stages/phases, dependencies and manual/auto schedule Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

Functionality, ease of use, Bubble Support and the fact that the system can be tailored to business requirements, needs and reporting. Live access and up to date information and the ability to cut out manual procedures and increase time efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

Would be helpful to open another project in a new window to view comparisons or view 2x areas at the same time e.g. progress update and planning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bubble PPM:

Simply do it, it is life changing and a valuable tool to any organisation managing projects, collating updates as well as ease of reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Project Management system that is live, accessible, easy to use and can generate reports and dashboards automatically. Benefits realised are a huge saving in manual time for creating reports/dashboards in Excel, the ability to view the latest project status easily. Our team works regionally and a huge benefit is being able to view the regional picture in one place is a great feature, so much so that the national teams are taking interest in our approach.

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

The Bubble team focuses first on the business need (value-added project portoflio management) and IT second. When you work with them you can get to better solutions faster because they understand the business problems you are trying to solve. The success of our solution isn't dependent on my ability to write system specifications, but rather on communicating our needs/opportunities and collaborating on a solution, which ultimately produces a better result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

The change management of the IT solution itself can sometimes seem less disciplined. This is likely because the Bubble team is so focused on and responsive to business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bubble PPM has provided us with a single-source-of truth for our project portfolio, a tool to support our stage-gate project management and decision making processes, and the portfolio data we need to review and take decisions on resource allocation and overall portfolio health and balance.

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

The bubble interface is modern and user-friendly. We can quickly know where projects stand at a glance.

Something significant is that the solution is highly customizable and evolutive. Therefore we can adapt our managing strategy at any time.

As Bubble is available with an internet connexion, we can track our project everywhere. Helpful for our marketing team during convention.

Also, the Bubble staff is amicable and really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

As the bubble is available with internet it may be a bit slow if the connection is low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As a worldwide company, we needed to have a managing tool that is available for everyone to use in different languages and timezone.

Bubble being customizable we also are able to manage different type of project with the same tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

I like the layout for viewing key project information in a dashboard, with an option to extract out into a PDF for presentations. Stage gate sign off process is a nice easy to use tool and I like the progress bar which gives a PM an easy way of seeing the progress. Its really easy to get a project setup and go back in to edit information. I really appreciate the support from Bubble in terms of customer service which is excellent and also adaptations we ask from the system. The portfolio reporting side of the software is really useful and is nice and easy to search on key words from the portfolio view or create custom reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

I would love to see better dashboard visual reporting in terms of graphs and charts with the ability to customise on company branded colours - this would save lots of time having to do this manually if I could take a PDF download of the graphs needed already with company branded colours. But other from that I have no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bubble PPM:

Excellent piece of software for managing projects and portfolios. Excellent customer service and support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are now seeing better team collaboration on projects as all data is in one place. We are able to move some of our existing processes into the system which is saving time and effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bubble PPM?

The exceptional level of customer service and impressive technical acumen delivers the very best customer experience. I rave about the partnership built over the years I have worked with the Bubble; no matter what the problem or time of day, they are there to support with professionalism and solutions. I have truly never worked with an external company that provided a better design or service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bubble PPM?

That I personally (not Bubble) did not use all of the functionality the system/software offers - I simply ran out of time with all of the great functionality we did use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We identified an area of opportunity forthe Project Charters which was resolved by the smart and creative minds at Bubble. While we previously had multiple tabs for submitters to complete before and IDEA was deemed complete, the Bubble Developers identified a 'single view' option which streamlined the Project Charter submission process and allowed for new and current users to have a fresh and more efficient submission expererience. Well received by the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
