I like this product because, as an OC person, I like everything organized and in one place. This platform is such a helpful tool to use if you have a set of portfolios in the business. For example, I work in a cleaning company with different services offered, and this platform helped me to manage everything.

Overall, the experience with the vendor has been positive in terms of platform capabilities and enterprise level project and portfolio visibility. The tool provides strong handling control, structured workflow and decent reporting capabilities. However, the areas of improvement are quite more especially with UI for new users. Performance can be slot and need extra effort and dependency on support team for certain configurations and customizations.

We brought in OpenTest PPM (still feels like calling it Micro Focus PPM our of habit) to bring some order to a portfolio that had grown past what spreadsheets and ad-hoc status decks could handle. On the technology analysis side, it took our team a while to map our existing project data model onto it's structure. The tool is powerful but opinionated, and if your governance process isn't already fairly mature, you'll spend real time configuring workflows, request types, and fields before it starts paying off. Planning & performance management is where it's genuinely strong. Once we had our project types and workflows configured, the ability to roll up status, resource capacity, and financials into a single portfolio view was a big step up from what we had before. So integration was a mixed bag, connecting it with our existing ITSM & Financial systems worked, but needed help from OpenTest's professional service and a fair bit of middleware work on our side. It's not the kind of plug-and-play integration you'd get with newer SaaS-native tools.
