## Planview AdaptiveWork Reviews
  ### 1. Director of Construction & PMO

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Timothy G. | Senior Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

I love the dashboards in Planview AdaptiveWork as they enhance visibility. The live reports add a lot of value too. Our organization loves using it and I found the initial setup to be seamless.

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

The dashboards in Planview AdaptiveWork only limit 10 projects at a time. It would be better if it could open the dashboard to where the report is located to show all projects.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Planview AdaptiveWork for visibility in tracking project progress and financials.

  ### 2. Flexibility and Depth, but Challenges in Configuration

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Iker R. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 05, 2026

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

I like the flexibility and programmability of Planview AdaptiveWork. I also appreciate the number and depth of the modules it offers.

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

I would like you to try to reconfigure yourself for Agile when necessary. The initial setup was difficult due to the inexperience of the implementing partner.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Planview AdaptiveWork to replace MS Project and control activities, OKRs, and operational projects in a large institution, offering advanced monitoring and adaptability to diverse information needs.

  ### 3. Easy Template Creation from Existing Templates

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** michelle K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

The ability to create templates from other templates very easily.
Allowing users to only see what they need to see to complete their tasks

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

That it all depends on the license type as to what users can see in reports, even when trying to get just read only

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Every user gets their tasks when they are available and not able to complete before ready 
Easy to make customization to work for us

  ### 4. Great Visibility and Customization, But Work Plan Scheduling Feels Slow and Unintuitive

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dianna D. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

Visibility across teams and customization options.

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

Using the Work Plan to build schedules is slow.  Adding multiple related items is also slow.  The system is not very intuitive.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ability to see and manage everything about a project in one place (schedule, issues, risks, action items, etc).  We like not having to go to spreadsheets or a SharePoint site to search for information.

  ### 5. Highly Configurable Planview AdaptiveWork for Tailored Business Rules and Automation

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Manufacturing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

Planview AdaptiveWork is highly configurable. The ability to create business rules tailored to my company’s specific ways of working opens up more opportunities for automation and helps align the tool with how we actually operate.

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

In certain cases, some out-of-the-box features we would like to use can’t be configured to meet our exact needs. However, in most situations, we’re able to find a workaround that accomplishes the same goal.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to create very specific business rules and automation helps streamline workflow dependencies and makes day-to-day processes run more smoothly.

  ### 6. Efficient Project and Financial Management, but Restrictive Reporting

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karen M. | Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

I like the work plan and financial planning features of Planview AdaptiveWork because they keep our projects on task and budget.

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

Reporting is a little restrictive at times.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Planview AdaptiveWork for project management, keeping our projects on task and budget.

  ### 7. Helped Our PMO Organize Projects and Move Beyond Access Databases

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephanie M. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2026

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

It has helped our PMO organize projects and get away from Access databases

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

Sometimes the service does not respond to tickets timely

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps set standards for our PMO, allows for senior leadership dashboards outside of spreadsheets

  ### 8. Lack of out of the box basic functionality.

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2023

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

The tool is very customizable, and most people with little coding experience will be able to build custom workflows and processes. The views are easily changed with no coding needed, and the hybrid Jira board views are excellent for scum-style projects.

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

Almost nothing works well out of the box; many processes are completed outside of the tool and then entered into the tool. The support for the product is lacking; with Clarizen being bought by Plainview, there are different growing pains.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Works great for overviews of projects at a high-level.

  ### 9. Why we changed from Clarizen (Planview Adaptive Work) to Smartsheet

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karina Celli C. | Head of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2023

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

I really like the dashboards and the system to register the hours spent in tasks, inside each project.

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

The problem with Clarizen (Planview AdaptiveWork) is the price, and it is also not so easy to configure. There is not much material to learn how to use Clarizen, so we had to learn by ourselves.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The system to register the hours spent on tasks inside each project really helps us control project prices.

  ### 10. Planview flexibility

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kim H. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 22, 2022

**What do you like best about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

It is very customizable and able to fit your individual needs

**What do you dislike about Planview AdaptiveWork?**

You have to understand what it is you need and want, which is much harder than it sounds.  Very iterative process.  It is a complex beast, you really need someone to be an expert in it.

**What problems is Planview AdaptiveWork solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Hopefully it will smooth out our peaks and valleys and enable us to have a good idea of when we need to hire staff as opposed to working through a temporary spike.
