Planview ProjectPlace Reviews & Product Details

Planview ProjectPlace is a collaborative work management software solution that helps project management offices (PMOs) and delivery teams plan, execute, and report on project work in a single workspace. It covers the full project delivery lifecycle, from structured intake through execution, team collaboration, and portfolio reporting, and is designed for project managers and teams across any business function, not only IT. ProjectPlace brings project plans, team boards, documents, and communication into one workspace, so project managers and stakeholders work from the same data. A formal business request process replaces ad hoc intake, with every request categorized, sized, and routed for approval before work begins. External collaborators, such as vendors, contractors, and partners, can also be invited into individual workspaces with scoped access. Main capabilities include: • Gantt-based project planning with milestones, activities, resources, and schedule templates, alongside Kanban boards for team-level task management linked directly to plan activities • Structured business request intake with categorization, sizing, and approval routing, plus project-level financial plans that capture and baseline estimated costs and benefits • A single repository for change requests, risks, and issues that consolidates automatically into project status reports • Document management with version control, review workflows, and e-signature integration, along with in-workspace collaboration tools including comments, mentions, and real-time notifications • Project, portfolio, and personal dashboards, a workload view across account members, and AI-assisted reporting through Planview Anvi, including automated risk summaries and sentiment analysis of project status updates ProjectPlace connects to Planview Portfolios and Planview PPM Pro for organizations that also manage a broader project portfolio, and integrates with commonly used collaboration, document management, and productivity tools, including Microsoft Teams, Slack, Microsoft SharePoint, Google Drive, and Microsoft Power BI. It is available on iOS and Android with offline access, supports eight languages, and runs on ISO-27001 certified infrastructure with 256-bit AES encryption, single sign-on, and role-based access controls.

"Wholistic view but cluttered"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Planview ProjectPlace?

I like that you can see across teams, and get a high level visual of what is going on, timelines, etc. I also like that you can see a summary of how many projects are in the pipeline, what is next , etc. Lastly, I like that you can easily drag products from one category to another - such as "currently working on" to "finished". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview ProjectPlace?

In general, I find the UI to be very cluttered. It's not super easy to navigate or update, and not very intuitive. From the dashboard, it always takes me a bit to figure out what I need to click on in order to see what I need. Or, when someone tags me in a card/task - it's not immediately obvious where their note is. Also, not clear how to pull data from the platform to use somewhere else - such as Tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview ProjectPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

Increased visibility and following project timelines. It is good to make sure no projects are conflicting, and figuring out who to assign and what to assign depending on their availability and what else they are working on. It is an easy way to get a high level idea of what is going on in a team/company and then drilling down to understand which specific tasks are getting completed.

Giving everyone tasks and being able to easily follow up. We benefit by having a whole visual of open projects and being able to manage in one place as where previously we were just using emails and a lot can get unorganized and not followed up correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"What It Does, It Does Well"

4/5

What do you like best about Planview ProjectPlace?

One stop shopping for Kanban, Gantt, File Sharing, Comments, tight integration with Planview (owner of Projectplace).

This was a quantum leap above the SharePoint lists and Excel project plans we were going to use before being introduced to this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planview ProjectPlace?

Had some problems with very large Excel documents (13mb) not coming through properly. Putting the Gantt view behind the highest paywall is a bit of a blatant money-grab, but that would only affect non-corporate users.

We tried to expand the use of this tool here, but it was not viewed as being favorable to other tools that more tightly integrate with the code/build/test cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Planview ProjectPlace solving and how is that benefiting you?

Projectplace was used to coordinate the rollout of a different tool into our corporate IT environment. By using a tool outside of our own network it made it much easier to collaborate with the vendor without having to invest in VPN connections so they could access our internal SharePoint sites.
