We performed a comparison between OpenText Project and portfolio Management and Trello based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very important that the platform gives us a single place where we can measure progress toward goals, as we have weekly meetings with the CTO. We present these consolidated overviews and dashboards to him so that he has an overview of all the projects and can see the status of all the problems that we have and we are working on."
"There are so many different pieces of functionality, and we use almost every single piece from deployment to demand, project, resource, and time management."
"Micro Focus Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) has a very strong workflow engine."
"Has a powerful workflow engine that allows creation of workflow complexities and processes."
"Micro Focus PPM is flexible and easy to use. It's simple to customize and configure workflows."
"The data provided by PPM is trusted and is available almost immediately; without trusted data there is very less scope of any tool to be successful."
"Scenario comparison is the feature most valuable to us and the reason why we decided to choose HPE PPM over other portfolio management products."
"Overall, they have a very strong workflow management capability. That's a very strong feature because then you can model any process easily. Whether it is a demand management process, a pipeline management process, or your project delivery methodology, it is much easier because of their workflow management capability."
"The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need."
"You receive notifications if mentioned on a card."
"Project management and work collaboration solution with amazing scalability and stability. Its user interface is modern and easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality."
"Another feature that impressed me is the clear Kanban board, as it provides a clear view of to-to tasks, assuring the team not to forget anything."
"Projects do not take as long and meetings take less time, since you know the status of developments or tests."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"We found that the solution was available on multiple devices, has a great user experience, is simple to use, and it is available on multiple channels."
"I like how user-friendly, visual, and intuitive it is. It doesn't take a lot of time to figure out how to make it work for you."
"Micro Focus PPM should be less dependent on coding. It could also benefit from some updates to the software architecture. These have been on the roadmap for years now, but they haven't been released."
"I would also like to see improvement in PPM's reporting and alerts. PPM has reporting capabilities, including HTML reports and portlets. But a majority of clients will build their own reporting platforms, or they will use external reporting platforms like Tableau and QlikView."
"User interface continues to be poor. The product does not have a similar view in the different modules, e.g., staffing vs financial management, it looks like you are working with a different product and it is not easy to use or intuitive."
"Portfolio scenarios: This is a very powerful feature. However, it’s limited to analyses."
"We had a couple of issues with stability or performance degradation about a year ago, around the time of the initial rollout. Since then, we've only had two unexpected outages that were quickly resolved."
"Currently, HPE PPM does not allow “Project” approval, but only simple “Demand Request” approval (mobility)."
"We constantly put in requests for some of the things we need. One of those is being able to export just our standard request type to PDF."
"The user interface is very, very old and is missing some functions, such as, for example, re-do, follow, and share functions. The UI is not good."
"The solution could be priced cheaper."
"It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The tool should be able to predict the task completion dates based on the date assigned and sprint dates. It is also not commercial compared to competitors."
"Sometimes the notifications are not updated on iOS."
"The mobile version of Trello can be improved upon."
"Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues."
"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."
