Considered Both Products
Infinity
Chose Infinity
Infinity is a great project management software that is more cost-effective than other popular options. Its pricing plans are highly competitive as well; both individual plans and enterprise solutions are available at highly affordable prices so you don't have to break the bank …
Chose Infinity
These can compare, but they also kind of don't. If you need a simple kanban project management tool, then you'll be just fine sticking with Trello. However, if you want a customizable and beautiful project management system, then Infinity would likely serve your needs.
Planview PPM Pro
Chose Planview PPM Pro
PPM Pro is more robust than Trello or other Kanban-type software and more configurable than MS Project. However, it needs to work on making schedules from P6 and MS Project easier to import.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
PPM Pro provides and enterprise view and robust features that not all the other products have.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Other tools are much more powerful and robust in reporting but at a significantly higher price point. PPM Pro delivers a lot of bang for your buck.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Microsoft Project does not integrate the data or provide meaningful dashboards. We needed a tool that could manage a portfolio of projects versus just a single project view. In addition we needed a tool to track financials and internal effort all integrated into one product. …
Chose Planview PPM Pro
We have only used PPM PRO since we started Portfolio Management with Wake County back in 2015. The tool has served us well over the years and grown with us as we have expanded our strategic efforts. We recently implemented ProjectPlace and interfaced with PPM PRO to enhance …

Chose Planview PPM Pro
Planview PPM Pro integrates all of the PM features of other applications and then adds features on top of them. Other applications tend to offer a solution around as single "need", forcing users to "build their own solution".
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Simple and easy to learn dashboards.
Reporting modules are complete and outstanding.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Planview PPM Pro is a suite of multiple products which makes it different from other tools. PMO-related features are easy to use. Time tracking is much less cumbersome as compared to other tools. Also, the interface is clean but UI looks a bit old school. Navigation within the …
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Planview PPM Pro is limited function vs clarity.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
We selected based on many reasons. Product support, custom work intake, dashboard capabilities, and project financial tracking. The support model was solid.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Not involved in selection process at my company. I have worked with other PPM tools at past companies - including an older version of Planview (back in early 2000's)
Chose Planview PPM Pro
I didn't use it as much, but PPMPro seems better organized than Atlassian Jira
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Planview PPM Pro does a better job of portfolio management.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
In addition to [Planview PPM Pro (formerly Innotas)], I have also used a variety of homegrown/custom PPM systems and Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project Server, JIra (with Confluence), and some other systems whose names I cannot remember. PPM Pro, by far, is the best of all …
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Project Place and Leankit -- Excited and happy to have access to both products. Integration is the key to both collaboration tools. Both very easy to use and leverage.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
Planview PPM Pro works well for the project defined and captures time tracking and financial metrics however I was not part of the selection of the tool
Chose Planview PPM Pro
PPM Pro is really the only portfolio management tool that I've used so it's hard to compare. MS Project doesn't really compare to the feature set that PPM Pro offers.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
On-premise only, not online. Microsoft has a stronger scheduling engine but capabilities and growth in PPM Pro is excellent.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
All have similar capabilities. The tool is only as good as the data you are putting into it. Make sure you have business buy-in and clear processes set.

Likelihood to Recommend
If you require a project management system that's just extremely straightforward and doesn't give you the option for much customization (because you don't need it), then Infinity may not be for you. However, if you're looking for a project management system that can also double as a database or allow you to create standard operating procedures within, in other words, a versatile piece of software, you'll enjoy using Infinity.

PPMPro is well suited for tracking new product introduction projects, as well as process changes. It serves to reliably track ongoing action items, issues, resource allocations for projects. Areas where PPMPro is less appropriate for use: Project to project dependencies, automating action item notifications on multiple platforms, integrations of PPMPro into other platforms PMO typically uses (like MS Projects, Teams, ppt, etc)

Cons
  • lack of attributes
  • not all integration avilable
  • outages
Read full review
  • The base API is not a REST based interface and is difficult to use for integration with other systems in the enterprise.
  • The UI for the maintenance of the task schedule for projects can be a bit cumbersome , although the spreadsheet style editor helps somewhat. The Gantt view is not interactive.
  • The workflow engine is designed only for initial project intake, and does not allow for an integration of the work flow with the project from start to end, so it can't be used for routing artifacts like change requests, ancillary project approvals, etc.

As I previously stated I am no longer in the role where I acted as Innotas admin, but because our license has been twice renewed since initial deployment and since I am in the business and have used the IT request process I created and have not heard anything to the contrary

Among the best I've ever seen for any app, I've used. The support is kind, friendly, and prompt. Not that I've needed too much support in the past, I know that if I need it, I'll be taken care of.

Their ability to assist and answer questions when needed is incredible. They create innovative ways to share information and help customers trouble shoot. I didn't give it a ten because I believe they could do a better job of personally reaching out to customers and providing improvement guidance based on where the customer is at and their needs at the time
