Planview Portfolios Reviews & Product Details

I use Planview Portfolios for project management, financial management, capacity planning, and resource management. I like that it allows us to create and deliver meaningful dashboards and reporting. The versatility and ability to customize views and extract data, as well as manage all project details within one project entry, really stand out for me. I also appreciate the export feature and the status reporting, as they allow me to look at data in any way I want on the fly. I can easily export it and manipulate it within Power BI, Power Apps, or Excel, which is very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I need help with roles and permissions, especially when a single user can have multiple roles. It's hard to set controls on what people can edit without updating roles and permissions for each user. User adoption is slow because most of our users, who are project managers, don't find it easy to use. We also want visibility of supplier-filled roles and there's a lack of a solution for SOW management within the tool. Without an SAP integration, managing actuals is painful.

The ability to Crete portfolios and provide tools for investment and capacity planning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is not user friendly and is challenging for Project Managers to use when managing a project plan. I have a lot of negative feedback from PMs about the interface for their work. Reports are pretty old school looking, we will likely focus more planview.me for more impactful reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Planview Portfolios allows me to leverage the data we collect into fact-based (data-driven) decisions for execution and investment. The success we’ve experienced with Portfolios has transformed our understanding and helped us expand our perspective from the portfolio level to the enterprise level (a collection of many portfolios) for strategic portfolio management.

I dislike the difficulty that we experience moving data into Portfolios. We have overcome this by using Project, which permits ingestion of the Data. In a perfect world, the ingestion of data could occur in Project, Portfolio, and Agile place with the 1-step importation feature, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the strategic planning tools and the options for customizing our portfolio management model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can be a bit cumbersome especially when it comes to creating column sets and filter/building a portfolio with Planview. There are some common activities like adding columns, sorting filtering etc, that require multiple windows and a complex navigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how customizable Planview Portfolios is. It really helps with project visibility across our business and tracking resource hours related to new product introductions. I find the rolling up of financials and project dates to be especially beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user experience around time approval isn’t great, it feels old. The initial setup was complex as we didn’t know what we didn’t know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps us connect strategy with product roadmaps, investments, capacity planning, project execution, and market performance. This is exactly what we needed to support executive-level decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I ran into issues when working with large or long WBS (work breakdown structure) setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the reporting capabilities and being able to have the other capabilities such as OKRs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we had real time data. We had that in PPM Pro and we really miss it. We also really miss the Kanban board view from PPM Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you can track projects within a portfolio and set an affordability within a Business unit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

my pain points with Planview is that we started 10 years ago and the functionality we use now sucks. We have way too many custom attributes,I wish we can start all over and enable all new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the integrations and how everything connects with Planview Portfolios. The product offers a product and project hybrid model and has an easier pricing model that includes all the features we need, like OKRs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
