Experiencia satisfactoria pero deben mejorar ciertos aspectos.

Pros

Tiene una gran variedad de funcionalidades que se adaptan a diferentes metodologías, sectores e industrias. Puedes gestionar desde la demanda hasta la ejecución, pasando por la planificación, el seguimiento, el control y el cierre de los proyectos .Permite una integración rápida y sencilla con otras aplicaciones web, gracias a su arquitectura basada en contenedores. Las soluciones se pueden implementar en las instalaciones del cliente, en la nube del cliente o como un servicio alojado y gestionado por Planisware

Cons

Su precio es bastante elevado en comparación con otras alternativas, sobre todo si necesitas usar muchas funcionalidades premium o realizar muchas tareas al mes .Su soporte al cliente no es muy eficiente ni amable, ya que a veces tardan mucho en responder, no resuelven los problemas o no hacen reembolsos

The Planisware Orchestra team is knowledgeable, very easy to work with and are very collaborative in gathering requirements, deployment and providing on-going support. In addition Planisware has a lot of experience with Planning and Portfolio Management. Planisware has forums to discuss and share experiences and expertise with other users, they also implement improvements to their tools by listening to the needs of their customers

Pros

Orchestra is an all inclusive tool that allows for project and portfolio to be fully captured, managed and reported from - it can be the single source of truth when fully leveraged.

Cons

Orchestra currently has limitations in reporting out gantt views. The planning/gantt view for timeline management is a multistep process which decreases efficiency.

Pros

It's a versatile tool with lots of options for customization. I can see large or small organizations getting great use from the functions, with a careful assessment of your individual needs. Lots of ways to visualize progress on projects. It also has paths for simplifying the user experience for different members of the team. What I/we perhaps like most about the software is the ability to not only plan the project, but assign resources (allocate) at different increments (hours, % of FTE, days) - and to have that information push automatically to the individual owners of those allocations for task management and time reporting.

Cons

UI still needs some sharpening (and I've seen the teams improve on this since we signed on). Limited integrations with other commonly used software.

Switched from

[Meisterplan](https://www.capterra.com/p/219824/Meisterplan/)

[Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/)

Previous tools and approaches could look forward to build a project plan, and look backwards to report time, but could not look forward to align resource needs with the project plan. Our resource needs were often an educated guess at best.

Data is being used as "The One Source of Truth" across the organization

Pros

Ability for all to see the same information across the organization.

Cons

Reporting needs improvement (gantts, etc.))

Reasons for choosing Planisware Orchestra

Offered other functions such as baselining, scenario planning, etc. Also feel Orchestra is still evolving and future changes are coming.

Pros

I enjoyed how easy the software is to navigate, it is easy to switch between information such as projects, resources and users etc. I also believe exports are a key feature that I enjoy the most. For the work that I conduct, these exports are a critical function. Being able to easily grab the information that I need from the system in a ready-to-use format is incredibly helpful.

Cons

Currently, there are only 3 individuals in our organization that are actively utilizing the system. Once we roll out the software to a larger audience I believe I will be able to answer this question more adequately. However, I believe being able to customize your own reports and exports from the system could be greatly improved. Additionally, I feel that the dashboard customization could be improved to provide more in-depth customization and more granular details.
