Indicators of projects

Pros

Using the kamban panel is easy, because you can move the tasks in execution and those already finished. The hours part is very functional, and helps to keep an efficient daily record of tasks and activities.

Cons

In the gantt diagrams, having to move the baseline when it is required to lengthen some task, that does not allow to see an indicator comparing it with the beginning of the project as it was provided, to which it currently goes.

Integration bottom-up from operational projects to strategic long term plan
Easy migration to end users due friendly look and feel and pre-stablished workflows and forms that facilitate expediting done task quick and effectively communication

Pros

Excellent exploitation on communication affairs following social media functionality and appearance
Cool interface and outstandig look & feel
Flexibility to use on demand accordingly to the need of users and support in the Project phase, as an advantage of SaaS app
Important involvement on complementing services regarding to PM culture training in an agnostic tool flavor (PMO roadmap guide, Risk managemet guide, etc)

Cons

More interface tools for importing/exporting data from/to backend systems like SAP and other PM tools like Primavera P6, Server Project, Sciforma, etc.
More deeply technical documentation for systems integrators and technical project proffesionals
Templates to start projects aligned to PMI, Prince2, Prism and other PM frameworks and methodologies

more easy to track and keep in one platform all the project information, and share it by te cloud with the team members

Pros

The capability for Earn value is easy to use, and with lot of value for us, because the important thing for the managers is to see the business based on the projects performnace

Cons

it is not so easy for us to use the men hours in the Project as they are in the platform, so we track the MH out of the plantform

Pros

ease of use, comprehensiveness, completeness and advanced features, it´s everything a program manager needs in order to complete master their projects

Cons

Sometimes implementations can be expensive and since it´s an online solution, being able to connect to the internet its paramount to use the software

Easy to use, versatile, it covers major need.s

Pros

Is easy to use and delegate functions. Versatility to create new fields and record documents. The export tool for global status.

Cons

There's no option to import Project files, mostly for Gantt charts. The search tool is not very trustworthy.

What I value the most is the easy of use and the customer experience.
I know exactly what I need to do and why (PMP), so ITM Platform always give me a friendly way to perform that tasks.

Pros

Overall customer experience.
Usability
Relevant project management approach.
Great visual design.
Great and quick customer support

Cons

Sometimes is necessary to work off line and I don´t have that possibility.
For some specific or difficult task ITM platform support is a must.

Project management and planning

Pros

I like that it had all the functionality I was after and had a logical / simple layout for me to easily create projects and tasks I needed.

Cons

As it runs on the cloud, every new tab or window I go to takes a bit of time to load. This could be due to NZs slow internet speed.

After ITM Software deployment I got access to full project portfoio, grouped by project stage and project busines case.

Pros

Lot of information and features in the standar versión.
Software suits most of the PMBoK knowledge areas.

Cons

Thera are limitations when creating custom fields, sucha as currency fields.
Mobile App works read only and you can not access all information.
Integration with third party solutions such as Google Drive or Dropbox could help.

Good Reports

Pros

The gant diagram should improve greatly, and staffing by date, the program does not allow to select different efforts per day for a task.

Cons

The management of resources for its lack of flexibility, since our company is a project company and resources are shared between projects

Even with the cons that it have, it's the best tool that we know to manage our projects.

Pros

Manage Resources through different projects
Lot of reports
Based on PMI
Budget Control
Financial Analisys
Task assignment

Cons

Gantt can only have one base line
Mobile Application not so useful (basically just for report hours)
Learning curve for taking advantage of all the features is big.

Documentary

Pros

The storage capacity for documents, but it is so difucult to save heavy files (more than 20MB) I guess is so important that the SIV leave to the users upload heaviest files.

Cons

The inteface is hard, It is not easy or intuitive to use, It needs a kind of exolicationa for some interestings tolos like activities, hitos.

An overall control of my project portfolio, with several complex projects running at once it's easy to lose track of them or for little details to be ignored, and also allowed me to work in several methodologies at once

Pros

It's an easy to use tool with advanced functionality, lots of features and easy to understand interface, has lots of convenient reports and dashboards

Cons

It's an online software, which means you are limited to places where you have a stable connection for it to sync or to upload changes

I see a huge improvement in team collaboration.
Improvement in Portfolio Management due to custom reporting and the ability to export to Excel.
Cost Management: It's the first tool I use where the budget makes sense. The top down budget consists of figures from the business case. The bottom up budget is built from the estimates I put in. You can then directly compare with actual values.
Resource Management is a huge time saver and the timesheet feature.
Methodology: It's fully configurable and it makes provision for a combination of Kanban boards and Gantt views which satisfy both the traditional and Agile PM's.

Pros

I like the user-friendly interface which means users require little training. It's fully configurable to make it custom to your organization's processes and terminology. Because it's cloud-based it can literally be implemented within weeks instead of months.
You have an unlimited document repository for all your projects.

It makes provision for projects and workflow, is fully compatible with MS Project and Outlook. You can use it for resource management including timesheets and managing capacity and demand across all projects.

For teamwork it has a built-in social communication network. It allows you to manage all costs and budget, even internal and charge-out rates if you're a consulting firm. You can also use it for supplier and customer management.
For PMO's and Portfolio Managers it caters for Dashboard Reporting, KPI's and alignment with business objectives or strategies.
For the Agile and blended with Agile PM's, it has a Kanban Board function and a Task Management functionality.
Lastly I like the API's that makes it compatible with any third party solutions.

Cons

When you import Microsoft Project Plan, it doesn't bring the resource names across. You have to add the resource names separately and add them to the plan.
Also you cannot export the MS Project Plan out again.

The time that i can use in assignate works to my delegates

Pros

i really love the separation of proyects and services, because i distinguish the proyects that our clients pay, of the services

Cons

the rounding in work hours don´t like it, because the hours not match when i use five minutes in an activity

I was able to use ITM Platform and create a Project Management Office with various organizational units representing offices in different regions and countries.

Pros

ITM Platform can be accessible anywhere using the internet for your projects, programs and portfolio. It is cloud based which permits you to control and monitor your projects regardless of your location. The application is very easy to configure when it comes to company setup, creating projects, registering new users, allocating resources to projects, costing and producing reports. ITM Platform is also a great platform if you wish to create a Project Management Office. It has many functionalities which makes this application a MUST HAVE for project success!

Cons

You cannot have multiple baselines for one project under one filename. The work around is that you save your project under a different filename or version.

I can understand in an instant what is the status of the projects of the organization, their advancement and costs and follow up accordingly.

Pros

I loved the fact that the software was up and running in less than one week and that I have an onverview on the status of my projects at any time. Great PPM tool

Cons

The interface is not the best i've seen but this does not affect the functionality or the ease of use.

We cut costs in project management softare to less than one third and were still able to do the same things with less training for new team members

Pros

It's really easy to navigate, plan projects and see the aggregate data. All the relevant components are at plain sight. Great tool for simple PPM without having to invest millions.

Cons

The UI is not the sexiest, but that's something I can work with. I hear they're about to launch an improved redesign.

Pros

Thais most important of the software is the facility of use the ítem to search the name office differents projects.

Cons

Usually when It has been used for many people, is complicated to know who makes the last modification on the Project.

We have been using another software for a year, and the first different with competitors this is really user friendly. So we can save time & money for its implementation in our company procedures.
