What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

This software's ability to handle the processing of resource time allocations and rate management is impressive. The reporting feature is handy, and once the data schema is fully understood, you can generate valuable reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

This sofware is not as user friendly as one would like when it comes to the creation of business processes. This feature could be improved upon by enhancing it with it's own business process development module. Customizations are availabile, but you must be very well versed in the data structure in order to master the functionality required in order to generate automated processes. You have to purchase Professional Services expertise in order to get the support you will need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity of the SaaS. It is so complete that sometimes it is very complex. Also, I don't like the scheduling of the system, it's only a basic scheduling function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best PM tool for users. But config/API are ok for admin/dev."
4/5
What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Clarizen is a great tool to project managers and they can do day-to-day tasks project planning, resources allocations, budget management quickly. Our Users adapted the tool very quickly and they like it. Clarizen is extremely user-friendly and I had a very good experience with Clarizen. The product is very flexible. It's a lightweight tool that can manage a lot aspects of project management.

Using CSS, HTML to customize some of its UI is great, even it can be used to customize CSS based on permissions and migration from MS projects works well. The resource management and time sheets are the best addons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

As a software developer with 2 years of Clarizen support/admin experience, I can say, API can be used to read/write most of the Clarizen data, but it cannot be used in provisioning custom action, workflows, etc. Clarizen data model/ config/ workflows are not as matured as MS office 365, salesforce workflows, actions, etc, and have few limitations. Not ideal for massive organizations, but it can do the job.

A lot of reports cannot be downloaded as PPT and even downloading projects, reports, etc as spreadsheets also slow and load time for the reports is very high Moving the config between environments is not so smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Crucial tool working with our investments related projects."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

I am impressed by the versatility and comprehensive nature of custom fields. These fields provide all the necessary data to the project manager. Moreover, the reports are excellent. Their interactive nature enables me to quickly obtain the data I need, particularly when I combine the contents of a table with those of a graph on one page. It is also helpful to note the presence of a risk management module, available "ready-to-use," but can be configured to be a powerful tool for managing the risks associated with Clarizen projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The tool may at first glance appear complex, particularly for those accustomed to working with more straightforward tools. Even so, if you grasp how it functions and how the various components interrelate, it becomes relatively straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Portfolio/Project Management Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

I like the flexibility and completeness of the custom fields very much. These fields allow the project manager to have all the data he needs.

I also enjoy the reports. They are very interactive, and I can get the information I need very fast, especially when we use a table with all the content seen on the graph on the same page.

Another strong point is the risks module, which is "ready to use" but, with some customization, it can be a very powerful tool to manage risks of the projects inside Clarizen (at project, program and portfolio level). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

It may not be a very intuitive tool at first glance, especially for people who are used to work with more simple tools. However, once you understand how it works and how the different modules relate to each other it gets pretty easy.

Another thing that I did not like very much at the beginning was that it is not possible to see the summary of the tasks at the project level, it is necessary to go to the project details in order to see them. In any case, it is not a problem, I already got used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clarizen provided an efficient and productive environment for our projects!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Clarizen may be the most configurable tool among the PPM SaaS tools, especially in the UI. One of the key strengths of the software is the ability to support unprecedented processes by offering custom fields and workflows. In addition, the software provides unprecedented levels of training and support. The Clarizen staff is actively involved in helping both administrators and end-users utilize the solution in an easy-to-use and highly accessible manner. According to my, Clarizen is very attractive because it seems to satisfy the enterprise requirements for PMOs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Despite the fantastic mobile app, it is only available to Apple users and not to Android ones, so it has no value for us (the old Android app, which is not as valuable as the new app), Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clarizen Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?

Reporting capabilities are great and have allowed us to have more catered reports, and the use of tabs has been a great addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?

The success site can sometimes be out of date and the information a little hard to digest. I wish there were ways to report on user groups without it pulling in individual names of people, but instead reference the group and it's users, and update over time as new resources are entered into that group.
