Planview PPM Pro Reviews & Product Details

Planview PPM Pro is a project portfolio management (PPM) software solution that helps PMO teams centralize project portfolios, resources, financials, and reporting in one cloud-based system. It gives PMO leaders, project managers, and resource managers a shared system of record for managing project work end to end, replacing manual, spreadsheet-based tracking and fragmented reporting. Primary users include PMO directors, project managers, resource managers, and CIOs and CFOs who need portfolio-level visibility into project status, resource allocation, and financial performance. PPM Pro supports both traditional waterfall and hybrid project delivery methodologies and applies structured governance to work intake, financial tracking, and portfolio reporting. Main capabilities include: • Portfolio and project management with project templates, health scoring, and automatic status rollups across the full project inventory • Resource management through a centralized Resource Workbench that shows demand versus capacity, supports skills-based matching, and covers both employees and contractors • Financial management with budget, forecast, and actuals tracking at the task, project, and portfolio level, including capitalization (capex/opex) tracking • Structured work intake and request management, with configurable forms, approval workflows, and scoring models that route requests before work begins • Reporting and dashboards with configurable health indicators, calculated fields for custom metrics, and Predictive Portfolio Analysis and What-If Analysis tools for scenario planning PPM Pro connects with Planview AgilePlace and Planview ProjectPlace for organizations running hybrid delivery teams, and integrates with external tools including Jira, Azure DevOps, Cherwell, and Tasktop. Planview Anvi, Planview's AI capability, is being integrated into PPM Pro, including an Anvi Insights Widget for automated portfolio health analysis and an Anvi Chat interface currently available through early access.

"We use Innotas for resource management"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

"Innotas Review"

3/5

What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

It is easy to access as most cloud based systems are. However as you can see in 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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

"Won over by its support"

4/5

What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Planview PPM Pro:

Implement portfolio management practices and behaviors first before buying the tool. Dissatisfaction with the tool comes not from the tool's limitations, but the business's resistance to behavioral change Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview PPM Pro solving and how is that benefiting you?

Portfolio management for intake and demand / capacity management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
