Experience With Planisware Enterprise

Pros

The standout feature of Planisware Enterprise lies in its versatility and customization options. The software allows users to tailor it according to their unique requirements and workflows enhancing the effectiveness and precision of project management. Another aspect that I appreciate is its ability to handle resource management and complex project portfolios. With tools for capacity planning resource allocation and financial management Planisware Enterprise aids businesses in optimizing their project portfolios and budgets. It's important to note that the advantages users value most may vary depending on their specific needs and usage scenarios.

Cons

In my experience as a potential user I found that successfully using Planisware Enterprise can be challenging especially for those who are inexperienced with the software. It may require extensive training and expertise to fully leverage its capabilities. Additionally the pricing of Planisware Enterprise seems to be on the higher side particularly for smaller firms or organizations that may not require all of the program's complex features. While the software offers many capabilities I have also heard that tailoring it to suit specific demands can be difficult. This lack of adaptability and customization options may frustrate users seeking more flexibility.

A Versatile Tool with Useful Features for Project Management

Pros

I highly appreciate the various advantages offered by the software such as project control fund control and time monitoring. It provides personalized web desktops and insightful reports enabling us to effectively manage project finances and deliver services on time. The adaptive map feature allows us to monitor plans modify project activities and demonstrate program outcomes. It also facilitates financial management for managerial programs.

Cons

While my company finds it a bit pricey we believe it is worth the investment. It would be beneficial if the software could simplify certain processes to make them more userfriendly and require fewer steps. Additionally there are some terms within the software that are not compatible and need to be aligned. However considering the overall benefits we understand the effort required for such adjustments.

Planisware Review

Pros

What stands out to me about Planisware Enterprise is the ability to plan through different hypothetical scenarios. As someone with a neurodivergent thinking style this software has provided me with the unique capability to explore and analyze various scenarios in a way that other tools have not allowed.

Cons

One aspect I find disappointing is the limited availability of a free trial version. Currently Planisware Enterprise only offers a 14day trial and it would be beneficial to have a simplified free version for individuals to test and experience the software's capabilities. Despite this I still find value in using it but having a free option would enhance accessibility.

Leader for PPM in Pharma

Pros

Planisware is a leading solution for portfolio and project management in the pharmaceutical industry. Its integrated timeline and resource management capabilities make it stand out. The software's configurability is another strength allowing proficient administrators to create unique capabilities without extensive customization reducing the need for custom work.

Cons

One aspect that could be improved in future releases of Planisware Enterprise is its integrations. Currently the software primarily supports basic filebased integrations for data movement which may not meet the requirements for highperformance and realtime access to data for downstream reporting. Enhancing the integration capabilities to include options like AWS S3 or Azure outofthebox would be beneficial.

Planisware Community

Pros

Planisware Enterprise has provided us with a centralized source of data for our NPI New Product Introduction pipeline. The software has also enabled us to mature our processes without outgrowing the solution. It offers valuable features for managing and tracking our product development lifecycle.

Cons

One challenge we faced with Planisware Enterprise was aligning the outofthebox software with our highly customized processes. Adapting the software to our specific requirements required effort and coordination to ensure it met our business needs effectively.

I have successfully used the system to improve portfolio resource forecasting at 3 companies.

Pros

In my experience the support team's expertise and the flexibility of the tool make Planisware Enterprise the strongest project and resource management solution in the market. The combination of reliable support and the software's adaptability contributes significantly to its effectiveness.

Cons

One improvement I would like to see in Planisware Enterprise is the ability to create tabs in the views. Currently reviewing the data management rules and identifying the active rule can be cumbersome. It would be helpful to have a table format that highlights the data management rules in play for better management and visibility.

This reduces the costs associated with implementation consulting and maintenance providing a more efficient and costeffective solution.

New Planisware implementation in additional business unit

Pros

The best aspect of Planisware Enterprise is its versatility and ability to be customized according to specific needs. It offers a complete solution that can be tailored to fit the requirements of different business units. Additionally its integration capabilities allow seamless connectivity with external applications such as SAP further enhancing data management and collaboration.

Cons

The high level of customization available in Planisware Enterprise can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing for users. The user interface particularly in version 6.1 relies heavily on tables and lacks visual elements out of the box. Additionally a lack of field definitions can make it challenging to understand how different components fit together and should be utilized.
