It has many resources within, but the cons outweigh the pros often. I would not be disappointed if we changed out software. Pros I would compare it to a microsoft project software. It is easy to manage multiple things at the same time and has many useful reports to run. Cons It has a big learning curve and it difficult to learn on the fly. It does crash and glitch frequently and there is no way to undo a mistake with a clock of a button Review Source Shashank T.

If you are using this then there is a business need to track project spends and allocation so useful for that. Cons The interface is not super friendly and with an enterprise of hundreds of projects finding allocated projects and line items to show expenditures and add time tracking to them is a pain.

Civil Engineer Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Workable but not Easy" May 8, 2021 4.0 We switched to Planview from another software and it’s only been a few months, but honestly I wish we stayed with our previous software. Planview takes so much more time to work in and get the information we need. Pros When Planview finances are working properly I really enjoy the options for financial analysis across different projects. It allows for quick and easy comparison. Cons What I like least about Planview is that the names of some of the columns don’t make sense. For example “Project Start Date” stops displaying the correct project date once the project starts. Alternatives considered [Oracle Primavera Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/145503/Oracle-Primavera/) Switched from [Oracle Primavera Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/145503/Oracle-Primavera/) Our client required us to switch.

They are very helpful. But unless you speak "Planview" you have no idea what they are talking about. Pros It can perform any PPM and Resource Management function that any of the other tools do. The overall portfolio management can slice and dice the data very well. Cons It is the most "UN-Intuitive" tool I've ever used. Without extensive training and administration support, it is next to impossible to use and train a casual end user or semi-casual PM. Review Source YS YERRISWAMY S.

The best thing I liked is about the 'Export/Import capability of an MSP project at the task level'. Pros 1\. Assigning resources to the individual and against the CAPEX and OPEX budget codes. 2. Reporting capabilities i.e., Status of the project, Estimated Hours vs Actual Hours, R/G/B status, Notes 3. Portfolio level management, and adding weightage to each and every project. 4. Easy to navigate and classic UI view. 5. Export/Import capability of an MSP project at the task level. Cons Nothing to report as such, and pretty much everything seems to be fine.

Environmental Engineer Environmental Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Difficult to Implement but a Powerful Tool" May 8, 2021 4.0 Planview requires a lot of front end time investment to get the software up and running and for people to know how to use it. However once they do, it is a great tool to use especially with multiple sites to manage. Pros Planview is very similar to Microsoft project which made implementation easier. It is also helpful for keeping track of financials across a variety of sites. Cons Planview can be quite glitchy which causes efficiency to go down, and info can frequently be reset.
