We work as an internal support factory and use Planview Portfolios to manage our projects and develop software. And we are trying to migrate to agile functionality. We used the software for booking reservations in hotels.

A solution that gives you all the information you need to plan detailed projects
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The benefit of Planview is that you can manage all the features simultaneously, and you have the information you need online. You can change your information and manage the resources very well. Getting to view the project is the best feature in Portfolios.
What needs improvement?
The box reports are too limited. If you want to configure it, you must consult someone, which is sometimes expensive.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is very scalable. We are only using a part of the solution. About 20 people from IT are using Portfolios in my company.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support sometimes takes a lot of time, but otherwise they do great. It is necessary to have some support because we have to do some special configurations.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was just a little complex. I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. Deploying the solution took two weeks. While deploying the solution, we had two instances, one for the IT team and one for the business team. And we had to connect the two and explain things to the team. Only two people were needed to deploy the solution, me and another person.
What about the implementation team?
Sometimes, we needed to hire a consultant, but not always. The majority of the time, we can implement the solution alone.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Planview Portfolios is not too expensive. You get what you paid for.
What other advice do I have?
Before choosing Portfolios, you must prepare all the scenarios well to create projects on Portfolios. You must find the stage you want to manage in the life cycle. I rate Planview Portfolios an eight out of ten because the solution should explore more with reports.
