I cannot say enough positive things about the team members I have directly interacted with at Sciforma. From the trainers, to my Customer Success Manager, to members of the support and product development teams. Everyone is accommodating, helpful and collaborative. I was already confident that Sciforma as a solution was the right choice for my organization's needs; the people supporting you are outstanding too! One thing to be prepared for is that the back-end can be a little daunting for admins who are not well-versed in both system configuration and project management. If you are not that comfortable, you will still have a wonderful support team to help you.

I have reviewed, implemented, used and replaced several enterprise-level PPM solutions. Sciforma is, in my opinion, the best single-platform solution on the market to enable teams to run various methodologies, yet still report holistically at the enterprise level regardless of the methodology used to run each project. It's a true one-stop-shop for an organization that wants the flexibility to manage projects differently. You are able to do all traditional project management functions related to schedule, Gantt, budget, resource allocation, portfolio reporting and more. The Agile features are simpler than some of the big-name leaders who focus ONLY on Agile, yet robust enough that prior users of those large systems will still find comfort in managing their Agile efforts in Sciforma. For those organizations who are more comfortable with a hybrid-approach, this solutions easily integrates iterations/sprints into the Gantt view. If you have a Steering Committee making decisions about which projects should be started and when, or if your Finance group wants to in-depth financial impacts of the projects, this solution will make everyone happy. Sciforma is going to change how my organization approaches project and resource allocation decisions.

There are a couple things I'd like to see improved in the tool, though this may be personal preference. 1) I would prefer more automated data to be shown in the out-of-the-box project status reports rather than subjective text boxes and some high-level project data points. 2) I prefer an Agile burndown chart that predicts the sprint completion. This said, Sciforma does allow you to build custom things (like the status report I want to see), and I've been able to create wish-list tickets for future development--and the product team has accepted several suggestions and placed them on the product roadmap.

Our company started using Sciforma since last year especially for the Project Management related things such as planning, managing, and monitoring and controlling.

Designer mode, that allows us the flexibility and capability to create and modify our own tools for the production view.

So far, I don't see anything that I don't like because the more I explore, the more I learn something new.

Overall, I have had an average experience with SciForma. It's excels in record-keeping but can be quite clunky to use. I wish the UI/UX would be improved so using SciForma wouldn't be as hard to use than it currently is.

I like how it keeps track of your previous records and is good for accountability purposes. It is extremely convenient and easy to see what tasks I have been working on the past few weeks.

Many times the software UI is very clunky and leaves for a fairly annoying experience. Once in a while, buttons don't work and certain loading screens freeze. Though the effects are not critical, I do find the software to be somewhat of a pain to deal with at time and I think that's something that SciForma shouldn't be.

Our clients have great visibility on the work we are doing for them, we can easily anticipate risks and be able to manage them in a way that set's very clear and resolute expectations, from an Agile development point of view our team collaborates in a way much much better than before while at the same time giving a clear picture to the client side PMs who typically manage their projects in a waterfall fashion. Everyone is part of the same picture.

User adoption is key in any enterprise system, Sciforma's ease of use enables that, it is quite intuitive and a beautiful sight to behold, we've come to see that users highly appreciate that effort. Technically it is very strong (the strongest) yet fully maintaining the balance between technical complexity and ease of use. With the release of Sciforma 7.1 we've seen massive leaps forward on a solution that was already at a peak compared to it's rivals, the introduction of Programme Management amongst, and the focus on building stronger connections with various data elements has seen Sciforma being highly appraised by our clients.

There are very little to no cons, everyone ultimately has their preference and Sciforma is ours. We are fully confident in the continuity that Sciforma constantly reassures us with by staying ahead of the race and breaking new grounds in this space.

I am writing this from the user's perspective. Even though I was an admin and in constant contact with our internal development team, I was not directly involved with the developers on the side of Sciforma. The software was rolled out to be used world wide to track internal and external projects for all sorts of different customers. It was this high complexity, why it took us a while to roll it out, set up the initial project templates, tweak the templates and so on. Besides the time it took to implement and some initial hiccups my team, the other teams and myself were very satisfied with the support the software provided. The more specialized your company and your projects are, the more definite the templates can be set up, and the more your company will be able to reap the benefits of this software.

- Can be used as boxed solution or customized to your needs - Great visualization and traceability features incorporating different project management styles - Accurate milestone tracking - Start workflows, assign and track tasks - Assign resources and manage the team

- Initial roll-out and training was time consuming, like with every major change

Good. Although the sluggishness of the system does negativelly affect how it is seen by our organisation.

- User interface is great - Ability to override forms, create our own dashboards. - Having a Business Case centre and demand management helped us

*General slowness regarding: - SSO - Gantt chart manipulation - scheduling a simple task requires a lot of patience as the system takes a while to validate entries and save them. Very cumbersome and we had a lot of complains with this. - Slow moving from one screen to another * small number of built in reports. Other tools have a whole bunch of reports to chose from and also allow you to create reports by selecting what objects go where - a more intuitive and user friendly report building mechanism.

Sciforma is one of the best PPM Tool which provides solutions for organizations and it's teams to performs various operations to getting results they want in much less time. It was very effective for me and my team to manage timelines for particular projects.

Project Management is the best part of this tool where we can manage our multiple projects effortlessly. It's very easy to use and quickly implement features to our work.

Still now, I didn't find any disadvantage of this tool. If we explore more features and face any difficulties will share for sure.

Simplicity in the use and ready to start procedures made the change very quick and effective. Different methodologies (Critical Path/Agile/Prince2) are included in the setting. We can keep under control our processes in a easier way

The software is definitely very simple to be used and it doesn't need customization because the "out of the box" features are very wide. The team accepted the change and in a short time we have been running at 100%.

so far I haven't had any issue with Sciforma, it meets my expectations. We had some troubles installing the on premise version. The support we got was very prompt and the configuration problems were solved in a short time.

I loved it. Would recommend. Expect to work with it again at multiple clients.

We spent a lot of time implementing not only the tool but all the understanding and the processes around it. We have over 200 users in more than 50 projects.

With versatility comes complexity. The "Help" is not always useful for end users. A pre-requisite to your clients is really the knowledge of concepts coupled with experience in Project management.

I have been using Sciforma since 2016. It is easy to use, user-friendly and above all helpful in project management.

Great tool for time tracking, project scheduling and status reporting to executives.

Less self-help sections for learning the tool.

Sciforma ist ein professionelles und vielschichtes Tool für die Projekt- und Ressourcenplanung, dass ich gerne weiterempfehlen werde.

Wir nutzen diese SaaS ausschließlich im Bereich der Entwicklung.Sciforma hat uns sehr dabei geholfen die Ressourcen und die Aufgaben zu planen. Jede Zeitbuchung wird zunächst überprüft und im nächsten Schritt in das Projekt übertragen. Dies sorgt für einen angemessenen und überschaubaren Workflow.Die Rollen sind sehr hilfreich, um schnell neue Mitarbeiterdatensätze in Sciforma einzufügen.Sciforma berücksichtigt die Intensität, die Dauer und den Aufwand in einem Projekt. Diese Kriterien sind pro Person individuell einstellbar. Somit ist sichergestellt, dass eines dieser Kriterien immer fix ist und sich nicht dynamisch anpassen kann. Sehr praktisch!Der Ticketdienst war stets sehr zuvorkommend und hilfreich. Die Antwortzeit war sehr kurz.Die Projektrechte an Mitarbeiter war sehr einfach zu konfigureren. Es ist ebenfalls möglich, das Projektteam aus Ressourcen zu begrenzen, die dem Projekt zugeteilt sind.Der Statusbericht je Projekt war sehr hilfreich, hat vier Textboxen, die formatierbar sind und bei denen Bilder hinzugefügt werden können. Zudem zeigt der Statusbericht allen Beteiligten den aktuellen Stand des Projekts auf.Außerdem möchten wir uns für das tolle OnBoarding im Jahr 2021 und für die Customized Reports bedanken.

- Die Meldungen auf der rechten Seite unter "Projekte>Arbeit" ist sehr hilfreich, um Unstimmigkeiten mit der Projektplanung zu identifizieren. Da in der Entwicklung selten genau der geplante Aufwand erreicht wird, ist die Liste der (teilweise über 80) Meldungen sehr lang, sodass die wesentlichen Meldungen nicht sofort identifizierbar sind.- Wenn die Projektplanung und alle Aufgaben von Anfang an definiert sind, ist die Basisfunktion ein sehr nützliches Tool. Werden im Projektverlauf weitere Aufgaben erstellt, muss zunächst die Erstellung und Planung dieser Aufgabe in einer Basis gefunden werden, um die Diskrepanz zu ermitteln.- Eine Aufgabe, dessen Restaufwand auf 0h fällt, wird automatisch von Sciforma auf "Fertiggestellt" gesetzt. Wird der Restaufwand nachträglich manuell erhöht und dieses automatisch erstellte Datum zur Fertigstellung gelöscht, wird ebenfalls der komplette Istaufwand für diese Aufgabe aus dem Projekt gelöscht. Die Stunden aus dem Stundenzettel müssen danach erneut in das Projekt übertragen werden.- Die Ladezeit auf der Cloud von Seite zu Seite empfanden die User als etwas lange (bis zu 10 Sekunden).- Der Aufwand konnte nur in "Tagen" dargestellt werden, auch wenn "Stunden" im Designer eingestellt war. -> Umrechnung in Excel notwendig. (wahrscheinlich ein Fehler durch den Import unserer älteren Daten)- Das automatische Abmelden nach 30 Minuten war teils sehr störend (Anpassungen am Statusbericht im PupUp-Fenster wurden verworfen).

I have been working with Sciforma for a couple of years and have gained experience as both a user and a consultant. In my opinion, these are their three main advantages: 1. The interface is very clear and intuitive; everything has been made to facilitate the use of the software. The user approval at my customer’s has been pretty good so far. 2. I like their pricing model, which is based on users roles. It’s pretty flexible and allows for scalability. My customer started with only 30 users and now has grown to 120 users. They wanted to implement time tracking in phase 2 of their deployment; the user console Sciforma provides allowed me to do the configuration exactly as requested, thus meeting their needs 100%. 3. They offer a lot of features, which is great for me as a consultant. I can offer Sciforma to pretty much all of my customers and tailor it to meet their needs.

I don’t have any issues so far, my customers are really happy about the tool.

It is easier to manage project, especially when there are a lot of contractors involved.

I used SciForma for classical Project Management schedule, task, resource management. All features are easy to use, intuitive. I am very happy with them.

At the moment I haven't found anything that I am unhappy with.

Sciforma has been helpful with keeping track of timelines, budgets and resource allocations.

Sciforma is a powerful project management software that allows you to keep track of all aspects of projects.

The level of detail can sometimes be daunting.

It makes it very easy to allocate things to the correct project, and to specific tasks within a project.

I don't like giving an hour by hour breakdown of each day on the timesheets, as it is time consuming to fill out

It helps to manage time and resources used in projects.

The software is slow response and maybe due to software itself.
