Considered Both Products
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 …

PPM Pro is easier to setup and create customer value. Easier to manage.
Chose Planview PPM Pro
I think the most winning features of Planview PPM Pro compared to other similar products is projects with strategic objectives, it can prioritize projects based on business value, helping to ensure that resources are being allocated to the most important initiatives. This can …
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.
TickTick
Chose TickTick
Notion has a lot more feature but it is much more complicated and chaotic for simple to do lists. Google tasks is easy to use, but at least for me much harder to organize correctly. While you can do that nicely, goodle requires more effort and I don't like to overcolicate …
Chose TickTick
Todoist is almost equivalent to Ticktick; the only thing is that it is a bit more expensive. Todoist does have a few more fancy AI features, which I presume will be helpful moving forward. Google Tasks would have been great had it not been left undeveloped by Google. The fact …
Chose TickTick
They all fill a similar role, but I have found TickTick to be the most robust, while still being simple to use and navigate. I like the ability to set due dates and importance levels to individual tasks. I like the ability to create subtasks and assign them different due dates.
Chose TickTick
TickTick has a better UI and UX compared to the other competitors, and the Quick Add feature from any window is a must for inbox task management!
Chose TickTick
In researching options for our task manager, we chose to use TickTick because it was the most user-friendly. The platform made sense to us, is intuitive to use, is affordable for our needs, and has "smart" features that make our jobs easier. Trello is a great program and has …

User Testimonials
Planview PPM ProTickTick
Likelihood to Recommend
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)

TickTick works well for personal use - managing daily and/or recurring to do's through a variety of lists. These can be renamed as needed. This has contributed to an increase in the completion of projects for me. TickTick also works well for collaboration on a list by list basis. Say that I have a project at work that I need to work with a teammate on - I can create the list and share it with my teammate. From there we can tag-team the project. There is the option for adding to-do lists inside of a top-level list and areas for commenting by the collaborators. This allows us to bypass unneeded meetings or emails to remember what needs to be done next on the project. TickTick may be less suited for situations where photos or files need to be shared for a project or for more complex project management.

Cons
  • 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

So far it accomplishes everything I need it to without unnecessary complications. The only reason I can think that I wouldn't renew is if I was required to use something else.

PPM Pro has very effective process capabilities around Project, Demand, and Resource Management as well as Reporting/Dashboards. Very stable platform, never any downtime. We now also have PPM Pro Sandbox which we have leveraged for any new major developments such as Request Management.

It is super simple in its set up and easy to learn to use. Many other apps are overly complicated which TickTick is not. It always depende on what features you are looking for but I did not even need to explain anything to those who struggle with newer technology

Support Rating
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

Todoist is almost equivalent to Ticktick; the only thing is that it is a bit more expensive. Todoist does have a few more fancy AI features, which I presume will be helpful moving forward. Google Tasks would have been great had it not been left undeveloped by Google. The fact that it has a great integration with Google Calendar is what I personally desire, but unfortunately, it falls massively short in all other things. The notion is great for overall knowledge management, unlike personal tasks, as it gets slower the more you load it up. Any.do is good, but it doesn't match up with Ticktick or Todoist and is more expensive.
