Oracle Fusion Cloud PLM vs. Powernoodle

Oracle Agile is great for companies that need a way to manage their products and work with various resources in their department from developers, to PMs and UX designers. This is a great way to keep track of feature requests and shippable versions of the product. Implementation and user friendlessness is an issue with this tool so companies that have the budget for consulting or for additional resources to help implement and maintain will need those resources as it is necessary. Training resources should also be factored in by any institution wishing to implement this.

• Powernoodle helped us to engage a wider and more diverse spectrum of people than we ever thought possible.
• The customer service is wonderful, I really enjoyed working with their employees to create a safe space for our end users, which ultimately gave us great results.
• Very user-friendly.
• People felt comfortable with Powernoodle and trust the anaominty of it, so they could speak their minds without fear of backlash.

• The overview page is dated as this UI has been in the works for many years - a very 'engineering dashboard'
• Unable to copy, paste, and modify workflows . Need to create from scratch
• Ongoing support for Oracle Agile is in question with the movement to Cloud technologies

• Our group found that it was sometimes difficult to respond immediately to directions from the facilitator, and that we needed time to absorb what was written on the tiles and what we were being asked to do. This put us behind on the schedule laid out for us. Part of the reason for this is, I'm sure, the fact that Powernoodle was new to all of us.
• Merging tiles that were similar is something only the facilitator can do, but it was confusing at times for our group to work together to decide which tiles should be merged. I think each of us should have emailed the facilitator with our ideas for merging tiles, however, this didn't happen with our group. We ended up having additional "private" meetings without the facilitator to make decisions about what should be merged. Perhaps there is a better way to handle this important step of merging tiles.

In simple words Oracle Product Hub cloud is easy to set up and configure, we don't have to depend on anyone to set it up. It's that super easy. But to operate them we need to have proper training and needs to complete the essential certifications. But compared to others it's easy and will help in the business a lot more than others.

• The gains provided by Oracle agile PLM have manifested themselves mostly in terms of time, since by being able to better organize and schedule our work we have been able to expand our ROI significantly, gaining around 900% of the investment made monthly, which leaves our ROI at 9g.

• While we are still in the beginning stages of taking action on the decisions we made using the Powernoodle process, I have no doubt that there will be a very positive ROI on our overall objectives.
