OpenText Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Reviews & Product Details

PPM is a very easy to use and effective way to manage project time and the resources that are assigned to each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest I really have not had any bad experiences. My only complaint might be that I have heard it is challenging to pull report data from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PPM has a very strong and flexible workflow engine that could be used to run all kinds of IT service processes apart from doing a great job in project and portfolio management. Very easy to use with little effort and quick win implementations.

HP PPM integrates easily with other tools you might have in your landscape (for example tools for test management: HP ALM/QC or the HP Service Manager).

HP PPM has a very scalable architecture able to support more than 1000 users easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that I really dislike. But on my wishlist I have quicker official support for current browser versions and the replacement of the Java configuration applet with a web interface (at least for the functions that are often used by administrators like user administration).

HP PPM is a very strong Project and Portfolio Management tool that is proprietary but runs on open source programming standards meaning there is less 'vendor lockin' resulting in lower support and development costs compared to competing products like CA Clarity PPM (overly proprietary leveraging proprietary programming standards). Demand Management over HP PPM gives the product the flexibility to build and accommodate robust, rapidly tailored, client-centric processes over a centralized platform that support parallel project management extensions, as well as Change and Release Management for complex Enterprise applications. It is the only HP software product that I consider 'BYOP' enabled (Build your own process - my own acronym) and over the last 12 years I have worked with numerous clients that have transformed the nature of what the application does for them.

I feel the foundation license cost is high for instances with > 25 users. This limits, doesn't promote, adoption in a competitive market. I also feel that HP needs to take on more specialized vendors as opposed to vendors that have to look up 'HP PPM' on the Web when they receive a client inquiry. For example, I recently told a HP vendor that a potential client would like to buy HP PPM for Deployment Management of Oracle E-business Suite and they felt other HP products we're better suited for the task at hand ?? There is also a therefore a major disconnect between sales and delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our cloud-implementation of HP PPM is running a 99.99 availability which is crucial for our business. That alongside the options for tailoring the setup to fit our needs, makes it on of the very top applications in our stack. Kudos! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could be a bit more up-to-date and responsive. For example a simple thing like scaling a portlet by dragging the mouse, would be nice. And of course I would like it if screens changed the second I made some input. Just 1 or 2 seconds of hang time, gets noticed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The functionalities and the user friendliness. I am an HP PPM consultant for the past 9 years and I love this tool for the functionality it provides in Project Management and Resource Management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support of HP PPM. It is much better than before but there are still areas for improvement. Another issue is with the sales team who are not doing a great job in marketing the tool and also in the frequent releases of the new versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about HP PPM is it's ease of use and the fact that it meets most of the requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have encountered setup issues many times and maintenance is also an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's intuitive and it helps keep all the details needed to move forward with the projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular stands out for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I evaluated and ran a trial of this software a few years ago and it basically was a good tool for large IT shops that need to keep track of all their projects in one central repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was quite pricey and a little cumbersome to use. Your IT shop needs to be set up a certain way for it to really be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
