Sr. Applications Engineer Broadcast Media Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/10/2016 "Full Featured Project & Portfolio Management" 4/5 What do you like best about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? This product has almost everything you need for managing requests, project, programs and portfolios. It is up to the organization to select the parts to implement. It is highly customizable, allowing you to tailor it to your needs, not just use it the same way everyone uses it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? Good support is severely lacking, especially considering the price. The reply to many defect submittals is "this is working as designed". The user interface is very rigid. You are limited to 3 columns of data with little control other than the column and row where the field appears. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM): Spend the time and money to fully identify your requirements. Start with a minimum set of requirements but with a clear roadmap to full implementation. Make sure you get someone that knows the product inside and out to help with this roadmap and the implementation. It is much easier to do it right from the beginning and you will find it almost impossible to correct later - not because of the system but because of the organizational changes required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solving and how is that benefiting you? We are managing over 700 projects. We forecast all financial data using PPM and send this to Oracle EBS through a custom interface. We now have real-time project reporting across the organization.

CEO/Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/10/2016 "Bit of a Laborous Start; But Worth the Time." 4/5 What do you like best about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? I like that PPM allows me to view available funds, duration, and expected outcomes for different projects. For a non-profit organization, I've been able to define this software for out particular use. It allows us to quickly see which fundraising project is supporting the goals and objectives of our organization as well which ones aren't so that they can be eliminated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? It was a bit of a chore getting starting as PPM was intimidating.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? - Would like to see reporting improved. - Takes a bit of time to get used to from a usability standpoint although significant improvements have been made recently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM): One of the biggest challenges that you'll have (with any tool) is getting people to understand what PPM is and what it isn't. I've spent a lot of time trying to both listen and discuss what we wanted to do with PPM and it was a challenge to get down to the appropriate level of detail to make as much of a difference as the tool would enable. PPM takes an investment in more than just a tool and you can't treated lightly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) solving and how is that benefiting you? Primary focus has been managing and forecasting labor spend on a very large project with high turnover. PPM has allowed us to gain control over this labor spend.

I like that the hours entered are automatically tabulated and submission conditions are checked on every SAVE of the application. This helps to ensure that I do not enter too many hours and/or too few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? I am a basic user of the system and therefore can only review the application from that standpoint. With this in mind, as a user, I think the application is rather cumbersome. If you add more than a handful of tasks / assets / miscellaneous items to your time sheet (which can happen in a large organization), you end up scrolling all over the place to enter time and it becomes difficult to ensure you are are entering time on the correct days. This occurs because of the rather sad scroll bar that generates within the application itself, so that you find yourself scrolling the browser window, plus this internal window. Additionally, as a user, it is frustrating that you cannot create project buckets on your own or sub-buckets: nothing is very clear in the application as to what should go in each type of item and as a whole i think the product is difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM): I personally could not recommend HP PPM from a user standpoint, I do not like it, the fact that as a user I cannot create my own time buckets, and that it is cumbersome to use.

The only handy thing about PPM is looking up resource management details. Details such as primary skill and allocation are good to know. Timesheet management is a pain to familiarize yourself with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? In our workforce, PPM is mandatory and required, but nobody likes using it. It's bulky, it's slow, and the UI is not intuitive. Many features are hidden behind screens that are hard to find without proper guidance or training. Recalling timesheets is a pain.

Change Management Coordinator Mining & Metals Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/28/2015 "Tailorable and powerful, but can be a challenge to learn the internal workings." 3.5/5 What do you like best about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? Very tailorable to your shop and its particular requirements. Splash screens and internal functionality are all tweak-able to fit your needs. The online community is pretty widespread and questions asked are often given a lot of attention. Be sure to spend time reviewing older Q/A threads to see other opportunities for learning you may not have thought about. At one point their website was overly complex and difficult to navigate- especially when trying to submit support requests, but in the past year or two, it has been greatly streamlined and cleaned up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? Just as it is very tailorable, its complexity leads to a non-intuitive administrative interface. It takes work and research to determine how to best accomplish your needs, but there are good online forums and KB articles to get you rolling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

HP PPM is an excellent tool for project managers. I like the project management features of work-planning, portlets for viewing status and progress. The time traking ability also is excellent. HP PPM provides flexibility to design security features on who can do what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM)? I do not line the complexity of the process and the training one requires to understand how to use the process. The resource management process is too cumbursome and has a longer learning process. Program Management module doesn't provide any value. Scenario comparison doesn't take shared resources into account while comparing plan againt capacity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM): I would recomend others to evaluate their process and compare with HP PPM recomended process before considering HP PPM.
