4.0
Mar 27, 2026
Overall the experience has been positive, this program has a solid and reliable solution for project and portfolio management, the configurability and reporting capabilities are valuable especially for complex organizations. The program offers strong capabilities for resource management and financial tracking, which supports better decision making and planning. Its scalable solution for enterprises needs. There needs to be some improvements for user interface and learning curves about the program. The team was very supportive during the initial stage and helped us to get better trained on the programs and how to use it and make best of the time and efforts maximize get better end results, with proper configuration and user training it delivers great value and reliable performance.

“Planview Portfolio's Dated UI Challenges its Wide Data Management Capacity”

3.0
Jan 30, 2025
My overall experience with Planview Portfolios was filled with mixed emotions. Planview created this product to track large scale dependencies and it is successful in ultimately one area. It creates a very strict process and central location to track everything. Beyond this, the problems with Planview are that the UI is extremely dated, the solution is overall slow in performance, and it is not a product anyone particularly enjoys using.

Planview Portfolios Likes & Dislikes

Like

The best part of the program is its comprehensive visibility across projects, financials and resources. It supports data driven decision making and provides strong portfolio management capabilities. Its best valued for managing complex portfolios at enterprise levels.

Like

Ability to scale large groups of trackable data.

Like

1) Application Portfolio Management (APM) - Scores applications based on business value vs. technical health 2) Technology Roadmap - Creates lifecycle timelines for technology assets 3) Heat Maps - Highlights which areas of business are under-served by technology

Dislike

Its very complex for the initial stage and user interface seems very unintuitive during the first time, some common tasks require multiple steps to complete. performance is slow sometimes with large datasets or reports, customization and configuration needs expert support.

Dislike

Very dated UI and not enjoyable to use due to the structure of data, poor performance of the product and overall ecosystem. The product feels like a very old product that has never been updated to reflect a modern UI or experience.

Dislike

1) Steep Learning curve - the UI is not simple for beginners, requiring extensive training. 2) Cost-prohibitive for smaller organizations 3) High configuration effort - Needs a dedicated EA team (or Admin) to maintain the metamodel and keep it current.

    4.0
    Feb 16, 2026
    Planview Portfolio (formerly Troux) excels in creating a centralized and integrated repository for storing diagrams as well as the relationships between all assets in the enterprise. 1) The Metamodel and Business Capability Mapping, e.g., a BUSINESS CAPABILITY is supported by an APPLICATION, which runs on a SERVER owned by a VENDOR. (Excellent) 2) Impact Analysis between various components (Good) 3) Data Integration from various sources (e.g., CMDB, spreadsheet, etc.) (Good) 4) Establishing Life Cycle timelines for software and hardware (Excellent) My overall experience was great!
