"Great tool but needs better reporting tools"
4/5
What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

"How is the average rating so high for this product?!?!"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

"Excellent PMO at a great price point"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

"Great for real time project tracking"
4/5
What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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: Great Value for Portfolio Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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

"Happy with the tool; the rest is on us"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

"Innotas helping us with our Project Management maturity capabilities"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Planview PPM Pro?

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.

What do you dislike about Planview PPM Pro?

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.
