Changepoint PPM Reviews

User friendly and drives desired behaviors.

Reporting with Cognos 10 is clunky but looking forward to Cognos 11 with BI functionality

Very intuitive, the engineering and programme community required little training and its really low maintenance. You can aggregate data, slice and dice and create custom dashboards to really understand and interpret large swaths of data into meaningful and actionable results.

Nothing thus far ! We are embarking on phase 2 - to exploit more of the incumbent functionality.

The ease of use and the great customer service you receive. Daptiv supports you through every aspect of the implementation and provides the same support afterwards.

Sometimes the configuration of field names

I really appreciate the ability to oversee multiple resources and project plans all within one easy to use system.

I wish that it would integrate with MS Teams - or had better collaboration capabilities.

The tool is very flexible and easy to configure. We have also found it is easy for our new PMs to pick up and start using with minimal overhead.

It may be too flexible, in the past we "jumped" into adding fields or apps before flushing out all the details. This caused some fields that are no longer used.

A good tool for project management and for task management. Custom fields can be configured easily and native fields easily adapted for use. There are a lot of features to easily drive Project management practice maturity. The support services are also awesome. They are also always improving and launching new release of features which is commendable.

Reporting: Reporting is not good enough. I still have to export my data to an Ms Excel to do detail analysis. I can't easily customize reports on the tool and as a PMO analytics, reporting is very very key.
Portfolio management : The tool still need a lot of work to adequately serve as a Portfolio Management tool.
PMO Governance: This aspect still require a lot of work
Resource Management: The features are complex and not easily understood for usage.

The ability to customize the product has been the biggest selling point for us as we have numerous business units.

Since we use the tool for over 10 businesses some of the admin functionality for adding users is cumbersome.

The ability to configure to our needs and link to our tasks.

The task list doesn't have the ability to undo changes.

The software supports end to end projects portfolio management.
Demand management including projects prioritization is great
The resources and capacity management module is fantastic to use and all encompassing
The dynamic applications are easy to create and use.
The analytics module is very rich leading to ease of report creation and dashboarding
Generally the software is very easy to use!

Scheduling - the project scheduling functionality is a bit complex and not very easy to use

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

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

Daptiv is configurable and extensible enough to allow for an organization whose PPM maturity is at any level effective see benefit from using the tool. Along with that it allows an organization the chance to move along the maturity level journey easily by extending the tool as needed.

Not enough people know about it the software and it's benefit.

Very easy to configure and ability to develop reports to extract key information.

It tends to be slow across our organization. There are also some limitations as it relates to resource management, limiting the resource types.

Ease of use is number one and if my PMs are happy so am I.

Resource management could be more robust

- It is built with foundations related to standard concepts of project management (PMI) tasks, profile, change management, issues, risks, capacity management,
- Allows customization in almost all parts of the system
- Has standard reports for analyze all parts of project
- Cognos reporting is really powerful
- User can request functionalities in an open board, everyone can see, vote and request

- Cognos reporting has a steep learning curve if you don't know SQL
- Recognition of geography of projects is not standard / native (if you need reports based on that concept)
- Portfolio management although powerful still needs ease of use (expect a big upgrade on this on 2020)
- It is licenced through user based and not seat based

The accurateness of results we get from Daptiv is what makes us stay with this solution so far. It is really incredible that we are able to forecast how our ideas and program’s abilities will so-called cooperate and create. What is more, flows of data with the ability of operation in the real-time mode are another powerful feature of Daptiv. All in all, the program does not require constant unfaltering control from our employees, and this allows them to distribute their efforts and powers more effectively. The main reason why we prefer Daptiv PPM is the program’s abilities for making projects and adding sense and individuality to them. We must say that a major part of Daptiv’s productivity lays in its ease of use and a customizable interface at a high level.

We think one of the main drawbacks of the service is its price. Frankly speaking, Daptiv PPM is rather a solution for big- or medium-sized businesses. Even though such a price may be explained by the high quality of the service (which is true to life), but we believe the program should be adapted and modernized a bit to justify the investments needed. Well, concerning problems with functionality or productivity, we have nothing important to share.

Daptiv is a highly configurable, feature-rich PPM software that provides excellent visibility to project, program, and portfolio status. It allows you to manage a multitude of simple or complex projects and programs through a single user interface making tracking, analysis, forecasting, and planning a breeze. The ability to customize data output is only limited to the boundaries of your imagination.

The downside of Daptiv is the frequency that support cases need to be submitted due to unexpected errors or known issues with the software that are yet to be resolved. Generally, you have to find a workaround until the issue is resolved. The software is not cheap and although most support cases are resolved fairly quickly (within a day or two) reoccurring or unresolved issues make the price much harder to swallow.

This allows us to complete structured planning of project and resources, while showing data lead results to our business. This tool has saved the business time and money. It enables seemless planning, delivery and reporting

Nothing, the constant evolution by the change point team ensures that the product continues to impress

What i like the most about Daptiv PPM is flexibility. Also provides a easy way to use it and that shows on user adoption. You can add configuration for your own BUT YOU CAN NOT add code or customization (you can though on reports), and thats very good because it will set a way to use best practices instead of rebuilding the wheel.

Reports can be powerful but can be slow. If there is too much data on them, might crash.

Integration.You can integrate with other tools using Daptiv Connect, but there is no public API.

I think all users and customer’s will agree Daptiv is a very easy and user friendly tool to use.

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

The ease of use and that it is SAAS based and can be accessed from anywhere.

The administration area needs to be updated, it is antiquated and there should be better functionality in this area.

There is a ton of out of the box functionality and best practices baked into this software suite. This makes it quite easy to enable useful functions that help drive improved processes.

We implemented a year ago and so far we haven't found anything material that we don't like!

I like how customizable it is to meet the needs of my customers. Because of where our organization is on the maturity curve, we needed to start with many manual fields to get the data we need from our PMs.

Its something thats been addressed in the latest iteration but the reporting capabilities via Cognos 10 were extremely difficult to work with, without having a cognos expert within the organization. Very excited for Cognos 11

Very complete software with many functionalities.
Easy to use.
Good performance

Reports are not the best, performance sometimes is slow and graphs have limitations

Web Application with OK speed/performance
Simple to use

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
