Planisware Orchestra

opinion Planisware

Comentarios: Experiencia satisfactoria pero deben mejorar ciertos aspectos.

Puntos a favor:

Tiene una gran variedad de funcionalidades que se adaptan a diferentes metodologías, sectores e industrias. Puedes gestionar desde la demanda hasta la ejecución, pasando por la planificación, el seguimiento, el control y el cierre de los proyectos .Permite una integración rápida y sencilla con otras aplicaciones web, gracias a su arquitectura basada en contenedores. Las soluciones se pueden implementar en las instalaciones del cliente, en la nube del cliente o como un servicio alojado y gestionado por Planisware

Puntos en contra:

Su precio es bastante elevado en comparación con otras alternativas, sobre todo si necesitas usar muchas funcionalidades premium o realizar muchas tareas al mes .Su soporte al cliente no es muy eficiente ni amable, ya que a veces tardan mucho en responder, no resuelven los problemas o no hacen reembolsos

Great app !

Puntos a favor:

I particularly appreciate the integration of different features : project management, ressources management, budget, time tracking. We also implemented specific features apart from project development like non-conformity treatment, executive committee decisions management, customised reports

Puntos en contra:

My company find it a bit expensive but it worth it. Needs a real training to get the full performance.

Orchestrating a plan

Puntos a favor:

It's a versatile tool with lots of options for customization. I can see large or small organizations getting great use from the functions, with a careful assessment of your individual needs. Lots of ways to visualize progress on projects. It also has paths for simplifying the user experience for different members of the team. What I/we perhaps like most about the software is the ability to not only plan the project, but assign resources (allocate) at different increments (hours, % of FTE, days) - and to have that information push automatically to the individual owners of those allocations for task management and time reporting.

Puntos en contra:

UI still needs some sharpening (and I've seen the teams improve on this since we signed on). Limited integrations with other commonly used software.

NQI Orchestra Review

Comentarios: We started with a new version of Orchestra : 7.0. This version wasn't mature and we faced many bugs.
Ramp-up is not easy (Planning, budget and Ressources management). Owerall, this tool is good, there are good ideas and functions. Now, the next step should be to simplify the User interface. Some idea : include more batch actions, simplify Planning > Gantt (only one view), simplify Project Ressource Management by displaying ressources need more easyly >> too many clicks to display ressrouces need.

Puntos a favor:

- Integration between projects and ressources - Customisation with the Designer - Possiblity to export lists

Puntos en contra:

- "Clicodrome". Too many click to do something. No possiblity to do "batch" actions in lists. - Timesheet workflow validation too restrictive - In project Budget and project ressource management no possibility to express the ressource need by competencies. Only ressource type is available >> too restrictive as a ressource can have only one "type". Most of organisation have ressources that can do many activities in projets (Project management and business analysis for exemple). Assign ressources by type is too restrictive. Real need to asign ressources by competencies.

Simple efficient and scalable

Comentarios: We stard with Planisware Orchestra in 2011. First to manage IT projects and then gradually to manage all IT activities. This tool has evolved a lot since 2011 and allows us today to manage the entire activity, workforces load and budgets forecasting.

Puntos a favor:

Capapcity to manage large organizations and numerous resources. Easy to use without too many concessions on advanced features. Scalable solution both in terms of users and functionalities. Great local support (France). Suitable for RUN and BUILD activities. Numerous intégration possibilities (flat files, datamart, Reporting Tools, etc.)

Puntos en contra:

Agility is not perfectly managed. Kaban could be smoother.
