May 9, 2018 5.0 Simplicity in the use and ready to start procedures made the change very quick and effective. Different methodologies (Critical Path/Agile/Prince2) are included in the setting. We can keep under control our processes in a easier way Pros The software is definitely very simple to be used and it doesn't need customization because the "out of the box" features are very wide. The team accepted the change and in a short time we have been running at 100%. Cons so far I haven't had any issue with Sciforma, it meets my expectations. We had some troubles installing the on premise version. The support we got was very prompt and the configuration problems were solved in a short time.

Pros We used it to plan a large project with multiple teams. The Gantt charts helped us align timelines and avoid delays. Cons Setting up complex dependencies took some getting used to, but it worked perfectly once set. Review Source Response from Planview December 17, 2024 Thank you for your feeback Mrunmayee! We're thrilled to hear that our Gantt functionality helped streamline your project planning and timelines. We appreciate your note on complex dependencies and are glad it worked well in the end.

Bioinformatics Co-op Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Much Left to Be Desired" December 7, 2018 3.0 Overall, I have had an average experience with SciForma. It's excels in record-keeping but can be quite clunky to use. I wish the UI/UX would be improved so using SciForma wouldn't be as hard to use than it currently is. Pros I like how it keeps track of your previous records and is good for accountability purposes. It is extremely convenient and easy to see what tasks I have been working on the past few weeks. Cons Many times the software UI is very clunky and leaves for a fairly annoying experience. Once in a while, buttons don't work and certain loading screens freeze. Though the effects are not critical, I do find the software to be somewhat of a pain to deal with at time and I think that's something that SciForma shouldn't be. Review Source CZ Collett Z. Manager Consumer Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "just my review !" March 30, 2025 5.0 I was able to complete my task without any issues so overall with ease I rate far above 5 star.. Pros Everything. I can't one negative thing on the software as a whole. Everything operated as advertised and overall was better Cons Na I didn't have any issues at all. The software over exceeded my expectations and for that there's no negative to or least liked to write .

Would recommend. Expect to work with it again at multiple clients. Pros We spent a lot of time implementing not only the tool but all the understanding and the processes around it. We have over 200 users in more than 50 projects. Cons With versatility comes complexity. The "Help" is not always useful for end users. A pre-requisite to your clients is really the knowledge of concepts coupled with experience in Project management. Review Source Tarun K. Sr. Project Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Sciforma for Project Management at DHS - State of MN" December 6, 2018 5.0 I have been using Sciforma since 2016. It is easy to use, user-friendly and above all helpful in project management. Pros Great tool for time tracking, project scheduling and status reporting to executives. Cons Less self-help sections for learning the tool. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Research Analyst II Broadcast Media Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Implementation was great!" June 27, 2018 5.0 We now have a tool to manage our PMO and strategic efforts that is easy to use and provide information to our executives. No more spreadsheets! Pros The ease of the user interface, maneuvering throughout the system, and easy customization. The tool helps standardize our PMO and strategic efforts. Cons Nothing so far. The key for anyone wanting to implement Sciforma is to complete the implementation data entry template one week prior to the vendor arriving onsite. This made our implementation very smooth! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Associate Scientist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Timesheet" January 20, 2019 5.0 Pros It helps to manage time and resources used in projects. Cons The software is slow response and maybe due to software itself. Review Source KN Kevin N. Process Development Engineer Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sciforma is a great project management tool!" August 29, 2019 5.0 Sciforma helps us with our project management needs, specifically R&D projects. Pros As a certified project manager (PMP), I can say this software fits very nicely with my training and it has great ease of use. Cons So far, this software has not presented any cons to our organization. Obviously we wish the price per user per month was lower, but the price is very fair.

Pros It is very well categorized with very much details needed for updating the time spent over the week. Cons The layout could be improved to be more user friendly. When more projects added to the worksheet, the layout can be a bit confusing. Review Source CP Cecile P. Chef de projet Semiconductors Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Outil performant et complet" November 15, 2023 4.0 Pros Sciforma est un outil très complet, qui propose des solutions valables pour des projets aussi bien simples que complexes. La gestion des portfolio est un atout de Sciforma. Cons Le reporting n'est pas à la hauteur de l'outil. Les données sont là, mais difficilement exploitables sans un outil tiers ou de la personnalisation de rapport. Il est nécessiare d'avoir en interne des personnes capables de former et d'accompagner les chefs de projet dans la gestion de l'outil.

Responsable Performance & Innovation IT Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Avis Sciforma" July 22, 2022 4.0 La solution répond au besoin avec une couverture fonctionnelle riche. Il ne faut pas sous estimer le changement à accompagner auprès des différents managers et utilisateurs. Pros La couverture fonctionnelle est large. Cela permet de pouvoir gérer les projets et les portefeuilles de projet de tous les départements de l'entreprise. j'apprécie d'avoir une fonctionnalité pour le future qui nous permettra de renseigner la stratégie de l'entreprise et des différents départements et de pouvoir mesurer la contribution des projets à l'atteinte des objectifs et le niveau de contribution des projet à la stratégie d'entreprise. Cons nécessite de bien définir le processus à déployer. J'aurai apprécié d'avoir un paramétrage std, des bonnes pratique pour démarrer simplement avec la solution. Une évolution à prévoir est de pouvoir directement manipuler les infos dans le Gantt pour l'établissement des road map par exemple.

Cons the gant is not ese to use , no trace log Review Source NH Nicole-Marie H. Scientist Chemicals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good UX, However Highly Specific Tracking Capabilities Facilitate Micromanagement" December 10, 2018 4.0 Pros Sciforma has a sleek user interface that allows users to pin certain projects to their timesheet every week, hide less important / inactive projects, and annotate individual tasks with ease. I've also never experienced trouble with the platform loading slowly or crashing. Overall the software provides a good user experience. Cons Sciforma allows users to track their time down to half-hour increments. While this feature may be useful in a legal firm or other setting where very small time increments need to be kept track of and billed to separate clients, in a normal lab-based or office-based setting this degree of granularity is not necessary. Attempting to track working time down to the half-hour is both impractical and facilitates micromanagement when supervisors approve timesheets. This is not an inherent limitation of the software, however workplaces adopting Sciforma should be cognisant of this effect and allow employees to log time in a weekly percent-based manner rather than logging every hour of every day.

Responsable des études et développements Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sciforma examen" August 3, 2022 4.0 Pros Puissant, complet (couverture des phases avant projet : idées/opportunités, puissance des rapports, planification, capacité à faire et projection) Cons Complexité d'appropriation, quelques bug ou incohérences du logiciel de base. Difficile de faire des rattrapages et de comprendre certaines anomalies même en étant accompagné d'experts certifiés Reason for choosing Planview ProjectAdvantage Outil qui offrait + de perspective et d'évolutivité, cout correct Review Source NE Neda E.

Principal Used the software for: ### "Easy to configure and use. Very appropriate for Agile and non-Agile Projects. " September 1, 2014 5.0 Sciforma supports both Agile and non-Agile projects including a resource pool, financial modeling and decision-support tools that together make this product a recommended linchpin for for a forward-thinking PMO and product development organization. Alerts can be set for a wide set of conditions that support data-driven governance. Project financials are automatically generated. Project trade off analysis is supported (and very straightforward) to make decision-making metrics driven (versus gut-instinct driven.) Customer Support (both sales and technical) are exceptional: Sciforma has developed presentations and demonstration instances for my clients without pushing for sale. They truly want to share the comprehensiveness of their product and service. Review Source MC Meg C. Co-op student Biotechnology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Platform" December 7, 2018 4.0 Good well set up program. Pros Ability to see the hours updated in real time when you enter them, ability to standardize categories. Cons annoying to scroll through all the categories to find what you need. wish you could save commonly annotated notes and reuse them for other timesheets. Review Source TH Tom H. Medicinal Chemist Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Software would lots of nice features" December 7, 2018 3.0 easy to keep track of where all of your time is going into Pros Many features, can do a lot different things Cons Since there's a lot of different features, it take a good chuck of time to learn it all and to use it to the maximum capacity. I'm still far from using to its maximum capacity. Review Source DB Dave B. VP of Pharmacy Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "VP of Pharmacy Operations" February 8, 2018 3.0 Pros The setup is a free base setup which allows for you to design any task you wish to be monitored. This is important for large projects Cons Only set up for large projects with start to finish features. Not user friendly for multi-repetitive task management Review Source SB Shawn B. Creative Director Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solid project management platform once you get past the learning curve" June 28, 2025 5.0 Overall, Sciforma has been a solid choice for our team. It took some effort to get it configured the way we needed, but now that it's running smoothly, it gives us a clear view of all our projects and resources. It’s especially useful for portfolio level planning and helps us keep everything in sync. I’d recommend it to larger teams or organizations that need flexibility and are willing to invest the time to get it set up right. Pros What I liked most about Sciforma is how flexible it is. It supports multiple project management approaches like Agile, Waterfall, or something hybrid. Once it’s set up, it gives you everything in one place like task tracking, timesheets, resource management, portfolio visibility. I like the custom dashboards and workflows, they're really helpful for tailoring the tool to fit how your team works. The customer support team has also been great whenever we’ve needed help. Cons The setup process took a while, and the interface isn’t the most intuitive out of the box. There’s a bit of a learning curve, especially for administrators. Some screens are a little clunky or slow, and we found that we had to do a fair amount of customization to get the reporting where we wanted it. It’s powerful, but not the easiest to use at first. Review Source Swathi J. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flexible PPM tool with powerful reporting and steep learning curve" June 27, 2025 5.0 Overall, I am positive about using Sciforma, as it is a solid solution for companies longing for enterprise-grade project and portfolio management. It provides good visibility across different projects. Pros It's flexibility for project workflows and templates. Apart from that, the reporting capability is also very customizable. Cons Performance can lag with a high amount of datasets, that's made me a bit sad. More time-consuming. Also, integration with Jira requires additional effort. Review Source ZH Ziad H. Freelancer Program Development Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review sciforma" April 21, 2025 4.0 Pros "Sciforma is a great product and platform that allows for excellent project portfolio management." Beautifully designed, highly intuitive, and takes advantage of the best technologies it's built on. Cons The initial setup took a long time, as with any major program. But the main problem was that every small change required training, which frankly seemed unnecessary. The user interface is very poor, and some buttons suddenly stop responding. Sometimes some screens freeze for no reason, which annoys me. Honestly, dealing with this problem is exhausting.

May 24, 2025 5.0 This solution was a great choice for managing detailed schedules and projects; it can be customized depending on the project. Pros You can efficiently manage time and adjust each schedule was able to increase the work efficiency.I was able to specialize in the company's projects. Cons It took time because I wasn't used to using it for the first time. After I was familiar with the setup and method, I used it quickly and quickly Review Source Similar Products Featured
