Planview AdaptiveWork

Pros

Planview AdaptiveWork is an excellent platform for managing a large portfolio of projects without losing visibility into multitasking, making it ideal for fast-paced business environments. Additionally, we can quickly visualize those activities that require the most attention from project managers by quickly inspecting our Gantt charts or boards, and this follow-up can be related to the financial plan, resource management, or even registration and validation. of project milestones.With Planview AdaptiveWork we can make a comprehensive follow-up of our projects and reduce the costs associated with supervision since it guarantees efficient planning, execution, and control, in addition to the fact that it has the ability to make very complete reports for stakeholders.

Cons

Planview AdaptiveWork is a very complete tool, capable of giving us 360-degree visibility, and it is easy to use by experienced project managers and trained in this branch of knowledge, however, it may be for those who do not know the theory in detail. In project management, it is a bit laborious to familiarize yourself with capacity planning, versioning, API support, critical path, and more.That being said, it is a great platform, developed to manage both small projects and project portfolios, and allows collaborative work in the organization.

Pros

Its very useful for workplace coordination, connecting staff and enabling real-time visibility in projects. A Robust Tool with useful functionalities that make work management and collaboration easy.

Cons

Reporting needs to be more intuitive. There's technical issues with its search functionality as well.

Pros

Project management tool is comparable to MS Project. Users that are looking for a subscription PM product rather than purchasing MS Project may benefit from this software, but I am not sure if all PM features are available out-of-the-box at cheaper subscription levels.

Cons

Although the PM tool is comparable to MS Project, it also comes with a level of complication also comparable to MS Project. Full functionality of PM (i.e. including resource management) requires buy-in by all departments/users in the company, and this is difficult to acheive in large or diverse organizations.

Our company implemeted this software with the goal of bringing project management together with time reporting, expense reporting, and invoice processing. The purpose of implementing Clarizen was to have a centralized system where we could report project status by including all relevant metrics on the project in a list or detailed view, e.g. planned time vs. actual time, planned cost vs. actual cost, and project manager comments/narrative on goal vs. result. This purpose was never realized. Clarizen underestimated the work effort to develop customizations, which resulted in the time module never being completed, the expense/invoice modules were cumbersome to use, the related approval workflows had many problems, and support from Clarizen management was almost non-existent.

We are now taking a different approach. No longer do we believe that one system can handle all our needs, and so we have adopted different systems with some integration between them to try to bring together all project-related data.

Pros

I like that it is easy to mark a tasks progress and completion

Cons

It sometimes takes a long time to load and it can be slow.

Pros

Easy to use. You can assign the resources for a project easily, see their advance and request progress report.
With few clicks you can get a global stand point of a project and see risk point and define next steps to do.
You can integrate it with outlook and get your contacts. You can access from any device.

Cons

There is not a desktop application, would be nice to count with that.
