Cora PPM is indispensable when organizing projects and daily tasks

No matter if we are in or out of the office, Cora PPM works perfectly with an integrated messaging to consult project progress. We add and design our virtual whiteboard in the way that makes it easier for us to work.

Pros

We organize tasks in groups and individuals to have each project present in a single page with drop-down columns, Cora PPM is an intuitive tool for workgroups to organize easily and quickly. With Cora PPM the progress is fast in your company's projects, it has a free trial so you can confirm if its features are what your company needs and adapt it to your colleagues to make their work and communication easier.

Cons

One of the disadvantages of using Cora PPM is when a project has many notes, because it is difficult for the whole team to visualize all the progress that it has completely and makes us lose the thread of the project we are working on.

The experience with Cora has been superb. My role as Administrator and the main contact for the Trust for all things Cora has meant that it's been essential for me to have a good relationship with the team that are assigned to us from Cora. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] have been fantastic to work with, always there to help and advise and essential for me to learn more about the system and to be able to take a lot of the builds myself.

From a project management point of view - We now have better reporting, better views of all Risks/Issues... just the general management of all of the Work Plan has been made so much easier and slicker.

Pros

We started our journey into Cora by replacing our existing Excel and SharePoint set up. The move went really well, planning what functions we wanted to explore and use in our Directorate, creating forms that replaced Word, Excel etc. The Project Leads and users of the system took to the change pretty well with very few teething problems. It is an easy to navigate, intuitive system that we are constantly working on, refining our processes and what functionality we use... it's just now part of our day to day business.

Cons

Speed has recently been an issue for us but working with Cora colleagues, this was quickly investigated and fixes put in place to help with this.
I'm not a Project Lead so don't use the system in the same way but there haven't been too many complaints... more just around some little tweaks here and there but they are discussed with Cora colleagues and more often than not, there is a solution provided or coincidentally this is being picked up in a new release.

Cora PPM allows my organisation to track our projects "under one roof" - in terms of time, cost and scope.

Cora PPM also interfaces nicely with our Financial Accounting/ERP system.

Pros

The smartforms, registers and Gantt Chart are comparatively easy to use.

With a small amount of training, a new user will have sufficient knowledge to operate the Cora PPM portal.

Cons

For an Administrator, the back-end can be daunting....... especially if the employee does not have a background in ICT or logical arguments. A knowledge of SQL is beneficial.

Excellent, the functionality is exceptional, and the customer support from the sales to technical staff is fast and comprehensive.

Pros

The functionality is very configurable and the range of approaches extensive.

Cons

Great software that meets my needs

Reviewed on 2021/07/09

Pros

Cora PPM is highly configurable and has been tailored to meet the organisations requirements and allows changes to be easily and rapidly applied as required.
I choose the hosted solution to forget about infrastructure and upgrades which are all managed for me, and the implementation of multi-factor authentication delivers a secure solution.
I allow users to submit their own project ideas directly into Cora PPM and use Cora PPM to report to the management team on the status of their projects.
The Gantt chart delivers perfectly on a project level and is powerful when combined with a Programme. Cora PPM software underpinned with the support of a dedicated team help my organisation deliver on programmes and projects.
New features and improvements are rolled out on a frequent basis.

Cons

User management isn't integrated with our Directory Services, however, the overhead is minimal.

Customer service is excellent. Always quick to respond and issues are rectified fast. Feedback is also taken on board and with the vast array of new features #, it really is a powerful tool if used correctly!

Pros

The Executive Dashboards are an excellent way of pulling in data from across the portfolio to report on Risks, Issues, actions and decisions. Also, the ability to edit within these is a excellent timesaver!

Cons

More bespoke reporting functionality and the creation of exportable dashboards to powerpoint.

Less duplication of project documentation due to registers being highly effective for data entry, tracking and reporting. Cora PPM portfolio reporting excellent. Cora are very proactive in their roadmap for future development and enhancements which I mind very important. My feedback has been listened to and acted on which I value

Pros

Cora made the implementation process very easy. Working through a number of workshops with my team and I. They took into account our specific requirements, processes and terminology and help customize the system exactly to what TUH required.

The dashboard and registers are the best of any competing product in terms of ease of adding and reporting on them. IT has the best cross portfolio reporting that I have used. All these featsures are very intuitive.

Cons

It's project planner could do with more functionality as it isn't as rich as MS project. It could do with more exporting options of Project plans.

The use of Cora PPM has added a huge level of transparency to a number of hitherto 'invisible' processes that has afforded the realisation of benefits in terms of cost savings, greater productivity and more focused and reliable reporting.

Pros

The Cora PPM platform is extremely flexible and scalabe, and configuration and customisation is possible by a proficient user, allowing maximum use of the platform. The layout is simple to understand with minimal bloatware.

Cons

At times speed can be an issue, but this most likely more due to local internet speed rather than the platform itself. It is the problem that any cloud based software encounters from time to time.
