What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)?

What’s best in it is its automation ability to finish the task quickly with the aid of a strong internet connection. That’s a main hindrance if the application is not installed properly and one should understand its GUI style that is a somewhat old fashion straight off but further up-gradation can solve this trouble. This is pretty pricy, but people with serious business dealings can afford it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I’ve been applying this application for long and I must say this is a unique thing in its line of business. I’m able to build my portfolio for many clients at once and my connection through email and messaging is easy to approach them. It can get by my files, make a good preparation for future ventures, and give such ideas that I’m puzzled how an application is so much helpful? Clients can see my products and never think once to dispense with me as every information is furnished in my portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Might&Magic PPM tools for almost every task you could imagine"

4/5

What do you like best about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)?

This tool is highly customizable and allows you to tailor almost everything you need in it to your needs in managing requests, projects, programs & portfolios, workflows, and resources all-in-one tool. And there are many options to integrate this tool with other solutions like CRM, HR management, etc. You can start with one option (request management, for example) and grow the solution step by step to cover all you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)?

The price is high. Support is not as fast as I wish, and you should be prepared to resolve some problems by yourself. The GUI is very old style, and the web GUI usually has problems with the latest versions of popular browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM):

You should have your own local admin/development team to support PPM implementation and quickly resolve problems (don't wait for support, they are not too fast). You can do almost everything with integration and API, but first, you should fully and clearly identify your requirements. And remember that the vendor might not support all customizations you can do with PPM. You should think about a good SQL and Oracle DB dev team because it's highly likely you will need to optimize SQL code and use the latest features of Oracle to get PPM to work fast enough for real implementation.

What problems is OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We manage many projects with different tools (in different teams and departments) and we can get a whole picture of all projects in PPM after integration on the data level with all these different tools. Also, we can manage resources for projects from one point and get actual information from PPM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
