Daptiv facilitates creation and distribution of reports of Project status. Projects are being executed more quickly with fewer mistakes and greater transparency to management. Pros The Administrative and User configuration capabilities facilitate Daptiv's support of our processes rather than the tool forcing a change in our execution methodology User impersonation is invaluable in trouble shooting and monitoring adoption by quickly identifying what any user is experiencing Cons Very little Program Management capabilities with respect to the update of a Program based on changes in child Projects Tasks should behave more like MS Project Alternatives considered [Adobe Workfront](https://www.capterra.com/p/268205/Adobe-Workfront/)[Planview ProjectPlace](https://www.capterra.com/p/125399/Projectplace/) Reason for choosing Planview Daptiv Allowed greatest flexibility while providing the tools required to mature our execution methodology Review Source Response from Planview December 9, 2019 Thanks so much for the review.

Strategic PMO Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PPM Software that grows with your organisation" December 5, 2019 5.0 Visibility of project portfolios across a large organisation are now possible, in both capital and non-capital investments. Our role as a PMO is to help enable the organisation realise its strategic vision through change, and Daptiv is a key enable for this. Pros Ease of configuration and reporting - we started from a fairly low position of maturity around project, programme & portfolio management, so needed to tailor a low complexity system initially to meet the needs of our users and manage change and adoption, then over several years we have been able to build new functionality, registers and reports in-house, and introduce this to users when they were ready. This has meant we have been able to offer more advanced features to some of our more complex programmes, while retaining an easy to understand interface and process for some of our smaller projects. Cons While there is work underway to improve agile functionality, there is still a gap between Daptiv task boards and some of the other agile planning tools on the market. Hopefully this continues to improve. Reason for choosing Planview Daptiv Experience with Daptiv in prior PMO, ease of configurability, other collaborative agencies using the tool, flexible reporting Review Source MG Melissa G. IT Portfolio Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Flexible and well supported" December 6, 2019 5.0 We are trying to use Daptiv as the single source of truth about a range of projects types and for reporting at project, program and portfolio levels. We plan to introduce a range of dashboards in 2020 which will make all our reporting much more immediate and interactive, which will in turn enable better decision making about portfolio investments. Pros Daptiv has the ability to meet all our varied requirements for portfolio and project management and reporting. Regular updates continue to improve the end-user experience.The support provided is first class and all the staff we deal with seem to genuinely want to assist us. Cons It can be slow, especially when running some reports. Reason for choosing Planview Daptiv We adopted Daptiv in 2014. I know a few products were considered but was not involved. It's high rating with Gartner was a significant factor in it's selection. Review Source Response from Planview December 9, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. We're making some big improvements to our analytics solution which should speed things up! SW Sarah W. SVP Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daptiv for PMOs" October 16, 2019 4.0 Daptiv has been instrumental in helping us aggregate project-level data into information executives can use for decisions about initiatives. Pros We've had Daptiv for over 5 years and as our organization and PMO has evolved, we've been able to use Daptiv to meet our needs. The capabilities and features are flexible to evolve and mature as our processes and experience matures. Cons We tend to rely on MS Project for building and managing schedules because of all the features and because most of our PMs are familiar with it. Keeping the Daptiv task list and MS Project in sync is a challenge, even using some of the automation to help with this. Review Source KL Kam L. PMO Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent forecasting tool" December 5, 2019 5.0 We have got another work stream that delivers capital projects for welfare have started using daptiv which has helped them easily identify and see their cost and forecast. Pros I think all users and customer’s will agree Daptiv is a very easy and user friendly tool to use. Cons The one thing I think it lacks is bulk delete option for workspaces. Sometimes we create many workspaces for testing purposes and it just time consuming deleting them on a individual basis Reason for choosing Planview Daptiv We used 5 spreadsheets in order to produce our final report to management. Which took 3 days preparation and it only takes a day. Review Source BB Barbara B. Manager, PMO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Daptiv PPM?" October 16, 2019 4.0 Overall, we've had a bumpy ride with Daptiv. Our implementation did not go well due to the fact that Daptiv did not ensure/encourage us to use their defined process and due to lack of stakeholder involvement from the business. Most individuals within the company are very willing to try to help address issues, but there are some, at the lower levels, who just say no or it's not something they can do. Pros Daptiv has nice visuals and, once you get used to specific functionality it is fairly easy to use. Cons The current reporting functionality (Cognos 10) is cumbersome and not very user friendly. Reporting is currently not a strong capability within Daptiv. Review Source TD Tina D. SVP Enterprise PMO Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Portfolio Management" October 16, 2019 4.0 Pros Supports project intake process, scoring, governance and resource capacity planning.

Associate Director, IT PMO Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective and flexible solution to PPM" October 15, 2019 4.0 Pros The breadth of the functionality - intake management, portfolio management, financial, timekeeping, and resource management. It is easy to adapt and is flexible. There is also the ability to implement in phases or "big bang" depending on organizational needs. Cons The reporting tool was difficult to learn and difficult to make appealing reports. Needed a great deal of time and expertise. (They are addressing this with new ChangePoint Analytics.) Review Source BG Beatriz G. Manager PMO Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "daptiv review" December 16, 2019 4.0 Pros Web Application with OK speed/performance Simple to use Cons Missing possibility to do resource management per department, across several projects Limitations in calculations in the dynamic applications No chance to see several parts of the same Project on the screen at the same time Review Source NH Nick H.

Through leveraging Daptiv, we now have an easy to use PPM tool and enterprise level tracking for current initiatives.

Steps to enter information. 2. Ease of integrating BI or other solutions. Review Source CE Colin E. PMO Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Director of Digital and Voice PMO" August 26, 2015 5.0 Pros The software is very configurable, allowing us to adapt it to our methodology and maturity. The reporting tools are fantastic and since reports are what most of our executives see from any PPM solution it really helped make a great impression. Cons It is a bit daunting to non project managers. While it can be scaled back to make it more approachable, it really is more suited for professional, certified PMs. While better than Clarity, Daptiv isn't quite as easily approachable as other solutions to team members.
