Planview PPM Pro Reviews & Product Details

The interface is clean. For how much can possibly be managed, it's nice to navigate without being overwhelmed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a little too plain. Although the pro there is not having a display that's too busy, everything looks too similar, so it's not as quick to navigate as something that's more color coded or shaped differently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is an amazing project management software that creates and manages project timelines and organization. It enables us to easily track hours of project tasks and activities and time on deadlines. It greatly aligns projects and provides tools to execute each project day by day. It is easily accessible from anywhere. It is cloud-based platform, so data is being saved and secured on cloud. Their support is very helpful. It has incredible tools for portfolio and asset management. It always focuses on project improvement. It provides the ability to customize the request workflow from submission to decision. It increases developer’s productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The details of projects, resources are sometimes problematic to manage. It takes too long the user interface should be more clearly designed to make it better for project management. The reporting engine needs proper training for report writers. It opens new window for everything which is quite confusing. It is not that much intuitive; it needs a lot of understanding of how it works in first time. It takes time while updating project tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main negative feature seen in Planview PPM pro includes not those reasonable scheduling processes. Also its interface is a little tricky to plot a course for pioneers with partial functionality. The developing reports feature is much time taking. The pin feature does not work every time. If you are new to use this application, you have to spend some time to learn the basics as well. The Gantt chart view cuts off the description of projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, ease of onboarding, frequent software releases with new functionality, cloud platform SaaS very convenient, no IT support is required.

Greta product team involve customers in building product roadmaps, well moderated user community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to create and maintain interfaces to ERP, this require some development effort to link Open APIs.

Lack of team collaborative environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralized timekeeping for multiple projects per user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Underutilized as not all employees trained on all features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration to Hyperion to pull in financial data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Innotas for its robust capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that the reports that come out of Innotas aren’t print ready. They don’t come straight out of the cloud ready to print for executives looking clean and easy to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simple User Interface

Project search capability

Task level administration

Assigning resources at the task level for billing purpose

Reporting modules

Projects weight-age by Portfolio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not updating the Task level % completion, when we update the individual tasks % completion at the sub levels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really easy to use interface. Able to assign tasks to project stakeholders and much better format to track in than a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much room for customization beyond the basics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am giving this product a 2 just because of it's potential.

- Like that I can drag tasks to new locations

- Seams to have a lot of features

-I don't think I have ever had any issues with logging in, and the site not been available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm writing my review from the perspective of a Project Manager/User working as a consultant for a local city government. I have been using MS Project for many years, and the transition to this product is PAINFUL. I have been using Innotas for about 9 months, but it's not something I enjoy, and so I use it only as much as I have to...in fact, as a PM, I have to continue to use MS Project, otherwise I'd spend way too much time making updates to my Innotas project plan tasks.

First off, I dislike the fact that I had to connect to my linked in just to provide a review! Anyway, here are some things I really don't like about your product:

- I have tried Chrome (Version 56.0.2924.87) and IE 11 (Version 11.0.9600.18618)..and both have different issues

- It's web based, which I generally consider a good thing; however, everything requires a click, and I get the spinning wheel to let me know it's updating...so, any time I'm trying to update my plan, it takes a long time....for every change. I know "long time" is pretty generic, but from a usability aspect, it's just terrible.

- Using chrome, my task rows aren't aligned, half the page is lower than the other side; doesn't do that in IE 11. My last and only input for Chrome...there are others, but focusing on IE issue at the moment.

-Using IE 11, inserting a new task is cumbersome...click task, right click, insert new task, enter...scroll down (have to scroll again after every entry) to newly inserted task..where did it go, Oh, it inserted my new task somewhere else on the task list...oh good, at least I can click and drag that new task.

Innotas provides us with the ability to manage our complete portfolio of projects using a cloud-based solution, integrating in our budgeting and actuals for projects with the interface for IT personnel to quickly enter in their hours for the week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a decent amount of time to master the way estimated, budgeted and actual costs are calculated. It all makes sense once you figure it out, but you really have to dig in to get to that point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Innotas offers a one stop place to handle project requests from planning to execution with robust reporting and time tracking capabilities to fully understand major KPIs associated with our resource allocation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Innotas is quite costly which requires us to limit full functionality to a tight list of users. It makes it very difficult to expand our user base beyond those highly integral to our group. We'd like to be able to expand this out to a greater user base to not only submit project requests but to access some of the reporting options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Innotas is easy to use and provides all the basics (and more) for managing a portfolio of projects. The reporting feature does not require a specific skill set (i.e. Crystal) to run. Recently Innotas has implemented new features that allows Administrators to create different types of projects (I.e. project with various data fields) which has allowed for the solution to be extended at an entreprise level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see a "read only" license be available that would be free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The resource workbench is one of my favorite features. I love being able to see/work on multiple resource allocations at a time (instead of having to go into each project individually.

I love the support. This is for me one of the strongest selling points for Innotas. They have proven they are not a vendor who abandons customers after the sale.

I also like the self-service model and the options available for self-administering the system (and improvements being made in that area). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User access levels - either I don't understand how they work or the options to create meaningful groups to restrict access does not work well.

The what-if tool is not capable of handling large scenarios.

****

Would like to have ...

- more Website log data - who visited which areas of the site

- ability to create new Request forms by copying existing ones (instead of having to recreate from scratch)

- ability to edit directives when creating filters - if I start building a filter and realize it's wrong, I have to delete it and start over - would be nice to be able to change "&" to "or" or "is date range" to correct date range, etc. PS - Filters could also be built on a single screen so you don't have to click next, back, etc.

- end-user-ready communications so that as major changes are announced, we can edit and distribute notifications without a lot of content prep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the introduction of Innotas, we moved away from a custom, legacy PPM solution to an industry leader. We have moved away from manual reporting to poor visibility of our portfolio to a solution which captures all this information. With Innotas, we now have a better view on the following:

- Portfolio Management

- Resource Management

- Request Management

- Dashboard and Reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The current license model for Innotas is restrictive. My hope is that through the acquisition from PlanView, Innotas will adopt different licensing models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting and dashboarding capabilities are very robust Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to do effort based planning

Not as user-friendly as MS Project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool works well for requesting and understanding where resources are allocated in our organization. The new request process helps us differentiate between requesting project managers and the employee (resource) managers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the reporting functionality, while extremely comprehensive, is ultimately much too complex for the average person to be able to create reports and successfully get the data they want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We utilize the request setup for our project intake process. This is a very helpful tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not a big fan of the reporting tool as it seems a little cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to access as most cloud based systems are. However as you can see im my screenshot it doesn't work with our identity management tool. But it used to be easy to access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting leaves a lot to be desired. It requires much customization to get what you want you can export to excel to manipulate data but we could just manage our portfolio in excel then if we wanted to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the reporting (dashboard) feature and the ease of editing project data (in-line with the latest upgrade) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is now not possible to post published dashboards on external sites like intranets. This was a very useful reporting method previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Request queue, capacity management, reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

project planning can be easier to use. Some of my users still prefer MS Project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is easy to use for all types of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Forecasting and reporting is not always intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have recently started using the resource workbench, which is a great tool to see how my staff are allocated on a monthly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Entering in a project has too many required fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's nice being able to access this software via a browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's kind of clunky in design and does not have an intuitive baseline functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Innotas provides a surprisingly excellent amount of end user support. They hold frequent seminars led by thought leaders, have a good community support platform, and respond timely to questions and issues.

It syncs ok with MS project - occasionally a little buggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It appears to be marketed to executives so good for portfolio management, a bit burdensome for project management, not good for team collaboration.

Innotas seems heavily driven for add-on sales. Their frequent seminars are followed up by calls from account managers. Interfacing data with other systems is really only possible by paying for their consulting support to build API connectors. This has been a bit bothersome because the reporting isn't fabulous and users who want to manipulate and re-use the data in novel ways are limited. One example would be creating a charter. All data for a charter can be captured in fields, however they cannot be easily pulled to generate a document for posting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
