Robust Product Management Platform!
What do you like best about the product?
Apptio Targetprocess is built for Agile teams and excels at planning and management of the most critical intake and development processes to just standard portfolio management. It's not often that you can say that a tool grows with you as you get more advanced and in the weeds of project/product management, but this platform does. Taking advantage of the flexibility in managing processes is another area that they focus on and provide great benefit in as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any thing that I would say is a dislike. I'm really happy with the overall product experience. I guess if I had to mention something, they don't have as many integrations as others in the same market. However, again I really think this is a strength because for the integrations that they do have they are complete more so than need feature enhancements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster time to market, oversight into project and product management, a tool that serves as a record of source aligned with our business intake process, and a development tool for teams.
TP; an alternatieve to JIRA
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is highly flexible when setting up your board views. It has your typical Scrum and Kanban view. With just those two basic views, you can build many different board views according to your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since it is not a pure Scrum board, prioritization does not work well here. You would need to state which of the User Stories has higher priority implicitly, and the ordering may or may not get messed up depending on your views.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to visualize all of our Product works for the Engineering team to pick up. I would say one of the benefits I appreciate with Targetprocess is its flexibility, which is something I find lacking with JIRA or Trello
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a smaller budget and want to move away from Trello, definitely give TP a try, especially if you're still not big enough and don't need all the fancy stuff that JIRA has to offer.
Great project management software
What do you like best about the product?
Targetprocess is easy to customize to what works best for your project. If you need more, you can add whatever you need, like setting up different views to help keep track of the standing of your projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Targetprocess takes a long time to get used to because so much can be added to it. If you have long-term projects navigating Targetprocess can be intimidating and hard to do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management problems I am solving with Targetprocess. I use the software to keep track of where projects stand and how much more needs to be done in order to meet my goals.
Helped us a lot with complex projects and investments.
What do you like best about the product?
Outstanding pricing system, easy to put in place so the implementation/training of expert solutions are class that is first. The application is effective and also works with various methods to Agile/Agile Scrum, and also includes pre built application solutions like sound. Our company was all set up in an extremely short period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because we're an international company, there was no great way to link customers on the tasks together with the capability to bring responses on the cards without buying a licence. In particular situations, there have been over ten participants taking part in the project who'd have extremely limited interactions. This would not seem sensible to buy a licence for all people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Targetprocess helps us a great deal to handle a complicated project, with numerous teams doing work in tandem on an extensive product roadmap. My realization was to be able to be well worth the investment, teams must make use of most of the functions as well as metrics which could be grown. Based on the client 's task management, it wasn't feasible to properly use sprints as well as create metrics in particular scenarios. In all those situations, we wound up migrating to a different device.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
After seeing several of the videos, it looked as we appreciated the adaptability to make our customized processes. It was truly cool to have the ability to seamlessly transport cards around teams depending on the position of theirs.
Agile and manageable to carry out a practical and effective management of the projects.
What do you like best about the product?
Allows you to personalize the tool of a practical and effective achieving to create very dynamic boards in which the activities that you have to be developed and executed by all the members of the work team are guided achieving this way, improving the whole workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its interface is a bit complex to handle the first few days so it is a bit confusing to understand the proper functioning of its functions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is very useful and easy to use as it allows you to manage all projects in a useful and efficient way .
the reports issued by targetprocess are very complete
What do you like best about the product?
Provides an excellent tool to design agile methodologies that allow a more efficient approach to the activities or tasks that are pending to be developed in my business. In addition, the design of its interface is responsive, allowing full adaptation to different devices. Speaking a little about consumer support, it is quite effective in solving the problems that may arise, in addition to responding in fairly short periods of time, so I do not stay stuck waiting for a response from them. The reports it issues are quite complete and very well designed, which provides information of ideal weight for decision-making within the organization or simply to adapt processes within it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customization of the views of the entities is somewhat poor, which does not allow a custom design of them. Prices are somewhat expensive, which is a disadvantage for small companies since they lose sight of the benefits that this system offers them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was used as a tool to design new development strategies within my company, since we were looking for a tool that would allow us to design and structure new adaptation mechanisms to the needs that the current world demands, and we consider that through this application We could take that first step, since it presents many approaches to agile methodologies, which are the ones that are dominating the current market.

Great project Management tool
What do you like best about the product?
This tool very flexible to make it work according to your needs.Tracking time and cost for multiple ongoing projects is very easy. Also work efficiency can be improved by great visuals generated by this software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setting up and making this software know about your projects needs time and patience. Also if lot is going on the UI gets overwhelming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of time and cost tracking when working with multiple projects. And easily improve budget and timeframe by studying visuals.
Awesome software and the best support I've ever experienced
What do you like best about the product?
Target Process is the perfect app for someone who isn't afraid to get into the details and likes to configure things. It is incredibly configurable and adaptable. There is hardly anything I want to do that I can't find a way to do, and they are continually improving it. It has a wide selection of plugins, customizations, mashups, automation capabilities, an API and commercial integrations. And the pricing is reasonable enough for a small business to afford. And the tech support is honestly superb - I've never gotten this kind of support from ANY company for anything. Even on a free trial they respond quickly, helpfully, in detail - and the support people know their stuff! None of the ridiculous scripted responses - these folks know the product backwards and forwards and are always helpful -and they're honest when the software simply can't do anything. They also have a public suggestion list you can vote on - and they pay attention to what customers need.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike about it - I'm almost afraid to recommend it too strongly because I'm afraid they'll grow too fast and not be able to keep things up as they are now.
If there was one thing I would like to see change - it would be this: right now, the assumption is that every resource tracked in the system is also an active user, who needs a license. There's no real ability to track work assignments and resource availability on people who are not also licensed users. This is perfectly reasonable if you are following the intended model of each resource taking their assignments from the system and updating as they progress. However, if you have a model where a smaller group of managers track the work of a larger group of people , you will have to pay for licenses for everyone. There are ways to get around this but then you lose some of the capabilities of the software. I would like for them to allow assigning work to users who don't necessarily log into the system and use it - either by having a concept of a "passive" user (perhaps at a reduced cost) or else by not requiring assignments to be tied to licensed users.
I recognize that this may not be an issue in many businesses however.
One thing I haven't been able to do with it, that would be helpful is have it send notifications based on calculations with dates - eg send a notification when the current date is x days before the date in a date field. It's possible that this can be done using the API or the most recent automation updates - I haven't looked at this recently but it wasn't possible a while back.
The timeline calendar views are a bit clumsy to use - you can't just select a standard time scale (quarter, month, week) . The date picker doesn't have a Today button so sometimes you have to scroll through a long range of dates to get where you want. This is surprising given how thoughtful most of the product is. And the controls for timeline views are rather unintuitive compared to almost everything else.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used the software in a variety of ways - for the intended use case of software development (very small business), for tracking projects in a more general way, and I've adapted it for use in a completely different use case. Really - it's great stuff.
I've not used the strategy and road mapping much yet - but they look quite good.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I don't have a lot of experience with similar tools so I can't really compare it well. I initially chose it because of the capabilities and because it was affordable for a tiny business. The UI and configuration can be quirky at times - but I love how much customization it affords. It doesn't offer much in terms of dependencies in the way that MS Project does - but it also doesn't bog you down with Project's rigidity.
A decent tool to track Software Dev work; they have come a long way in adding features
What do you like best about the product?
The current version of TargetProcess offers many different ways to configure automations, workflows and customizations. If you looked at TP even 2 years ago, the product is very different and much improved from that version. They have really listened to what we wanted out of it and done the work to roll out functionality that they didn't have before.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the backend configuration requires a bit of coding. I'm not a career developer, so sometimes it takes me a little while to work through the code in order to make things work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a tool that can keep track of all our software devleopment work with a few different products that we offer. We use the Epcs, Features, User Story, Tasks and Bugs in order to track the life cycle of our products.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan out your projects and processes very carefully before beginning to create cards. Once you have those in place, it can be difficult to change them.
