Acuity PPM is perfect for anyone looking for a lite weight PPM solution

Working with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been a dream! He listened to our needs and provided suggestions on how to use the software to meet those needs. We have worked with him to import our current portfolio of projects and created a work intake process for new proposals. We look forward to adding a prioritization scoring model and resource management. Whenever we suggest new features or functionality, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] takes it to his developers to see if those enhancements are feasible. They have completed many requested enhancements. Acuity not only provides the software, but they provide great insight on project portfolio management in general. They send out articles, videos, and tips that have proven to be extremely helpful in my organization. Our experience with Acuity PPM has been excellent. We look forward to a continued relationship with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team!

Pros:

Ease of use. How easily we were able to fit our current process into the software and how much more portfolio visibility we gained.

Cons:

I would love to have a more robust permission/roles set up.

Reasons for choosing Acuity PPM

We knew our business PPM maturity level was relatively low and we wanted something to match our culture. We also were not looking for a software to manage individual projects. We wanted a true portfolio management software that was simple to use but provided project tracking at a high level. Acuity provided a lite weight PPM solution that we could easily adapt our current process as well as enhance it. We wanted something to help with visibility of how our project portfolio fed into our strategy. Acuity PPM provides a single source for viewing the portfolio of projects as a whole with the ability to customize it to help you make solid decisions. It is not a complicated software. It does exactly what we need it to do and is easily mastered by all who use it.

Reasons for switching to Acuity PPM

Excel was not providing the reporting/visibility I needed and it required a lot of manual work from me and my team.

Great PPM Tool - Easy to Use

Using Acuity is helping to centralize our project portfolio information, and it makes it a one stop shop for project information.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Acuity is easy to get up and running on - very intuitive. I really like the projects dashboard view (I use it very often), and the ability to drill down into the project details from this view. It is very easy to create a status report, and to refer back to previous status reports as well.

Cons:

It would be great to have some additional features (although I'm sure you are working on them), such as: more text formatting in the status reports, ability to export the project list and project status, ability to sort the projects in the portfolio view, ability to easily see plan vs. actuals for dates and budget.

Reasons for switching to Acuity PPM

Microsoft Excel isn't an ideal solution for storing your project portfolio information. There were always version control problems, and the historical status was hard to keep track of. Additionally, there were limited visual capabilities for the data.

Mainly Status Reports

We are doing mainly project tracking and this would include status reports, timelines, etc.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I will admit I really only use the software for status reports (versus advanced tracking). Given this I am not sure I can speak to some of the features of the software. I would say the status reports section is useful and easy to use. I haven't seen any issues with the software in this regard.

Cons:

There was 1 time (about 3 months ago) that I had issues with login (lasted maybe 10 minutes). I didn't report and can't honestly say if the issue was related to the software. But otherwise I have seen/had no issues with the software.

Easy to Spin Up!

Acuity PPM has been used in the classroom as part of a simulation for graduate students in the Lerner College of Business. During a busy semester where time is of the essence the intuitive interface enabled students to come-up-to-speed very quickly. Each student took the role of an executive team member. Executives could quickly rank and approve projects tied to strategic goals. Reporting is very strong – critical information was at our fingertips allowing us to quickly assess portfolio value and risk. Also, having been the Lerner College IT Director (prior to teaching), I managed an IT project portfolio in Excel using nothing short of brute force to garner the information required for executive reporting. If Acuity was available at the time - it would have been adopted in a heartbeat!

Pros:

1. The intuitive interface made it very easy to come-up to speed quickly. 2. Critical information need to manage and assess performance of a portfolio is smartly placed on screens. 3. Acuity gives you just enough but not too much. Larger systems are cumbersome and can be difficult to navigate. 4. Being able to export individual portfolios for additional analysis was very helpful.

Cons:

We really like the product and don't find issues at this time.

Reasons for switching to Acuity PPM

Excel does not capture all of the information we need to effectively manage a portfolio and generate meaningful executive reports.

Fantastic option to reduce spreadsheets

Our rep has been fantastic and very easy to work with which made adoption to this a very smooth process. It no longer have to create multiple spreadsheets to manage my project portfolio and I thank Acuity for that!

Pros:

Prior to purchasing Acuity I would often find myself creating spreadsheet after spreadsheet to prioritize our organizations projects with our leadership. I happen to come across Acuity and quickly realized it had everything that I needed to work through these sessions. This is very instrumental in my end of year planning of our project portfolio and project status updates.

Cons:

There are still parts being enhanced which is understandable.

Acuity PPM

As a Sr. Project Manager, I like Acuity PPM as it gives me a clear overview of the project's status, resources, timing, risks, and issues. The dashboard is easy to use and provides all information needed for reporting to stakeholders.

This software allows us to view all projects underway and, even more importantly, the resources assigned. The dashboards are easy to follow, and detailed project plans and milestones are being tracked in Smartsheet but automatically updated in Acuity PPM via the API integration.

There is really nothing that I do not like about this product. Feature are being added on a regular basis.

See your projects portfolio at a glance with a super simple user interface

Not only the tool is great but the support was exceptional, Acuity even accommodated several changes and personalizations (that latter on became standard features in the product), they were super responsive and attentive in helping us make the most of the tool.

Functionality

Pros:

I've used many software applications to manage and track multiple projects but it was not until I discovered Acuity that I came to the realization of how simple it can be to have a true "bird's eye view" of a complex project portfolio. Most of the tools in the market focus in providing Project Managers tools to control in DETAIL each project, but no tool that I know of helps management visualize and track at a high level multiple projects. I love the simple UI, the intuitive access to information and the ease of use of the tool.

Cons:

It would be great if it could link and integrate with legacy Project Management tools, for example if a manager wants to drill down into a specific project maybe he could double click on a project in Acuity and launch a MS Project document where the full details of that particular project are presented.

Reasons for choosing Acuity PPM

We were looking for a Project Portfolio Management that was at the same time easy to use and very powerful, Acuity was the perfect choice for what we were looking.
