Daptiv PPM

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

First of all I liked the technical sales approach we were given before taking a decision. The vendor was vastly knowledgeable and the solution was explained very professionally.
I had the task to find a product that could help the company manage the engineering workload since we were merging resources from other countries. This is no easy task. When we were presented with this solution immediately it clicked since it was exactly what I had in mind.

Cons

Vendor-wise, no issues, the service provided was always excellent. I would say that perhaps the reporting is not that intuitive and required several training sessions to really be able to create customised reports.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

The software is very configurable, allowing us to adapt it to our methodology and maturity. The reporting tools are fantastic and since reports are what most of our executives see from any PPM solution it really helped make a great impression.

Cons

It is a bit daunting to non project managers. While it can be scaled back to make it more approachable, it really is more suited for professional, certified PMs. While better than Clarity, Daptiv isn't quite as easily approachable as other solutions to team members.

Pros

It is flexible. You can create what they term "dynamic applications" to accomplish your organization's unique processes and goals. Daptiv gave my organization much needed visibility into our project portfolio.

Cons

The reporting tool (Cognos Report Studio) is robust but difficult to learn and master. Daptiv offers their own training on it which I attended and that unlocked most of the features my organization needed for reporting.
