Birdview vs. OpenText Project and Portfolio Management

Each member of our team can choose their own view, so they can see only what is relevant to them. Plus, we can keep track of everyone's progress without bothering them. Our team loves that everyone can have a different view, so they see only what's important to them. In addition, we can keep tabs on everyone's progress without pestering them. The user interface has some nice quality of life features, such as the different views for different members of our team.

For Project Management, Micro Focus PPM includes all most every feature you need. You can manage your projects using work plans, project health, resource assignments, actuals, and costs. Additionally, you can get required approvals with workflows like sponsor approval or CR approvals. However, at project costing we need to make customizations due to lack of several outsource costs on it.

• Easy Projects has a really nice UI. It's really easy [to] work there and make our projects easy to follow.
• Great support. A few times I had to talk with support about API connections and they answered me quickly and kindly.
• It's stable. I cannot remember a day when Easy Projects' platform [was] down, so it's really STABLE.
• Charts and reports are very easy to use

• Easy to manage tasks among project's stakeholders
• Satifying resource management capabilities
• Complete dashboard (fully customizable screens and integrations)

• Easy Projects has some problems when it comes to accessing the site via different methods/browsers. It is either very slow or never works on a tablet. It is not smart-phone friendly. And it stopped working for us in Firefox -- all we could use is Safari or Chrome (we are a Mac-based office).
• Easy Projects' email notifications are overwhelming. I turned them off completely since I was getting messages every time one little detail was added or changed.
• While the reports are great, they are somewhat hard to pull. It takes a lot of trial and error -- I would not say the reports are an "intuitive area."
• The biggest by far is what we fondly call "the screen of death." When you mark the last open task associated with a job as complete, a screen pops up that asks if you want to close the overall job, as well. The "yes" field is pre-selected, so if you are overzealous and click through quickly, it automatically closes the job. I don't know why they think this feature is helpful. We have so many staffers that complain they suddenly can't find their open job -- well, it's been marked completed and goes into the archive.

• User Interface needs lot of improvement

EP is great but could be better. EP has been a wonderful tool within our organization, it has helped us control expenses, resources, and the time needed to invest in each project, however when it comes to presenting reports and details it is a bit weak, there are more tools specialized in data visualization, and it would be good to make some kind of integration between EP and the other market alternatives

We have many business processes using it along with our project management staff.

EP is easy to use and adaptable, its menu is intuitive and the design is pleasant.

I would like to give 10 but there are lots thing to improve such as difficult to customize report, agile project integration with alm tool, custom financial an dynamic cost /benefit group type, dynamic project indicator and kpi. However it is because of standard already bundle as out of the box feature.

In my personal experience, I only needed EP support once and the truth is that they attended me very well and very quickly, they helped me with what I needed, it was a question regarding the use of WebServices, they solved my doubt and then they contacted me another agent to verify that everything was resolved and if they could help me with anything else

We have a Change Management Team for internal support of Micro Focus PPM. So, they give close and quick support to our problems. They contact product support when it is necessary. They regularly upgrade the product. Generally, I can say that there is a good support for this product.

I am really satisfied with the implementation of EP in our organization, since it is a very useful tool in our day-to-day work

phase based delivery and working closely with business and vendor resources are vital

East Projects integrates with other financial systems such as NetSuite and Compass, which allows a great financial view into the existing and future projects and overall financial health of our resourcing. Other systems, such as Wrike and MS Projects, just focus on project/task management, whereas this is a one-stop shop. It also allows us to manage internal resources.

HP PPM was more economical than Carasoft. HP PPM was more robust than the Microsoft product
