It does not yet have strategic decision making and modeling you would use in planning and prioritizing projects. I understand it is in the product roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PPM Express was very easy to get started with basic functionality. Having moved from a more traditional PPM application, the implementation and integration with the existing Azure DevOps boards we were using was very quick. When we changed our structures withing Azure DevOps, it was equally easy to adapt the integrations. PPM Express support was helpful and their trainers guided us along the way as needed.

The support staff is generally helpful, but there seems to be the occasional delay when an inquiry is made and further troubleshooting takes place. The support process typically requires communicating through the website chat, rather than the ability to easily open a ticket for further research.

The project budget module is evolving, but it would be helpful to associate files such as receipts, notes and records with budget line items and entries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of integration into our preexisting environment. Required no IT support to get started on very minimal to integrate further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team considers PPM Express as a good and easy-to-use tool that brings real value. Thanks to the solution, it is easier to work on different projects in parallel. The visual aspects of the tool are great, easy auto-reporting as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, the in-app design could seem a bit outdated. That’s what you're used to in ADO or planner. I miss a bit the ability to create tasks in jira directly from the app. Hopefully, they'll present it soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PPM Express gives me a platform inside of which I can custom tailor my portfolio in ways our internal legacy solution didn't support. The canned PowerBI reports have been a great help as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Practically all the documentation is in English, which is not bad, but it limits a lot for non-bilingual users. If there were a greater number of options and ways to connect with other services, it would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
