The UX Purist

Weighted verdict

Measures time-to-first-value with a stopwatch. Optimizes for clarity, density and software that teaches itself. Rejects fourteen-step setups and empty screens that offer no way forward.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Collaboration depth

How this is scored

How much real multi-person project work the tool carries: shared planning, assignments, dependencies, workload, comments, guest access.

0 — A personal task list; a second user has no defined place in it.

3 — Tasks can be shared and assigned, but planning stays per-person — no shared timeline, workload or dependency view.

5 — Solid shared projects with assignments, comments and at least one team-level planning view; gaps appear in cross-project or capacity planning.

8 — Team-level planning is first-class: cross-project views, workload/capacity, dependencies, guest or client access with sane permissions.

10 — Handles the full span from two freelancers to a structured department in one model — planning, capacity, permissions and client involvement all without workarounds.

Report an error

The UX Purist

Shared portfolio roadmaps, standardised status and risk views, role-based dashboards, document repositories with permissions and version control, plus bidirectional Microsoft Teams integration and per-project Slack channels — real multi-person planning, not a shared to-do list. Capacity forecasts, resource and capacity management and Gantt/timeline/Kanban views extended across entire portfolios put team-level planning front and centre. We found no public information on guest or client access, which keeps it shy of the top band. 2 3 4 5

Reporting

How this is scored

Whether the tool can answer questions about the work: progress, time, budgets, utilization — and export the answer.

0 — No reporting beyond looking at the board.

3 — Fixed per-project status views only; nothing aggregates across projects and nothing exports cleanly.

5 — Useful standard reports (progress, tracked time) with basic filters and CSV export, but limited customization and no budget/utilization depth.

8 — Configurable cross-project reporting incl. time, budgets and utilization, with dashboards and reliable exports.

10 — Reporting is a product in itself: custom report builder, scheduled delivery, API access to every metric the UI shows.

Report an error

The UX Purist

Out-of-the-box dashboards, dynamic queries, a built-in BI tool covering measures, queries and overlays, earned value, cost tracking and capacity what-if scenarios — this answers real questions across projects. BI-Box hands Tableau, PowerBI, Qlik, Cognos and Spotfire the data, batch exports run on a set cadence, the REST API is OpenAPI-documented, and AI generates reports and decks from live data in one prompt. We found no public information on scheduled delivery of reports or whether every metric shown in the interface is API-reachable, so it sits just under the top. 3 4 5 7

Integrations

How this is scored

How well the tool connects to the rest of the stack: native integrations, calendar/comms hooks, API and webhooks, import/export paths.

0 — A closed box — no API, no integrations, CSV out if anything.

3 — A handful of marquee integrations, no public API or an API that covers a fraction of the product.

5 — The common set (calendar, Slack/Teams, file storage) plus a documented public API; automation platforms partially covered.

8 — Broad native catalogue, well-documented API and webhooks, first-class automation-platform support and real import paths from competitors.

10 — Ecosystem-grade: everything in 8 plus the tool is itself extensible (apps/plugins, AI/MCP surfaces) and exit via API export is complete.

Report an error

The UX Purist

A broad native catalogue — Jira, Azure DevOps, Rally with bidirectional sync, six CRM systems, SAP, ServiceNow, HR, document and ETL systems, Microsoft Project and Primavera import/export — with 80%+ of deployments running at least one integration. An OpenAPI REST API across all products, Tray.io universal connectors, and API documentation dynamically generated from the customer's own data model on Orchestra 7.0+ and Enterprise 7.1+. MCP support and an LLM connector make the product itself an extensible surface; we found no public information confirming webhooks specifically. 5

Onboarding effort

How this is scored

Time and friction from signup to first real value for a small team, without paid services.

0 — No self-serve path — onboarding starts with a sales call and an implementation project.

3 — Self-serve exists but the first project requires configuration a newcomer cannot judge yet (workflows, custom fields, permissions) before anything works.

5 — A team gets a first project running within a day; trial requires payment details or key steps live behind docs.

8 — Signup to working project inside an hour: guided setup, sensible defaults, templates, trial without payment details.

10 — Minutes to value even for non-tool-people, importers pull existing work in, and the tool teaches its own advanced features as the team grows into them.

Report an error

The UX Purist

The stopwatch never starts here: the only entry path the pages show is a request for a free demo, and we found no public information on a self-serve signup or trial. The learning apparatus tells the story — three learning plans, administrator levels from Associate to Expert, a 30-minute multiple-choice certification exam — and deployments run 'from turnkey to highly configurable enterprise deployments'. A fraction above zero only because a turnkey offering for PMOs exists. 1 4 7

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the company and the data actually sit: legal entity, ownership control, data residency, and subprocessor exposure to non-EU jurisdictions.

0 — Non-European vendor, data on US infrastructure under US law, no DPA worth the name.

3 — DPA and GDPR language present, but hosting defaults to the US or ownership sits outside Europe — compliance paperwork over substance.

5 — EU data residency is available and contractually fixed, but the vendor or its controlling owner is non-European, or core subprocessors put data within CLOUD Act reach.

8 — European company under European control with EU-resident data and a public DPA; remaining exposure is limited to identifiable subprocessors (e.g. a US hyperscaler's EU region) and is documented.

10 — European company, European control, EU-only data residency on European infrastructure, subprocessor list free of extraterritorial reach — verifiable, not asserted.

Report an error

The UX Purist not rated — no public information

We found no public information on legal domicile, data residency, data-processing terms or subprocessors. The single-tenant cloud architecture and 'granular data control' speak to data isolation, but nothing on the captured pages places the company, the data or the subprocessors in any jurisdiction. 2

Support & documentation

How this is scored

Whether a stuck user gets unstuck: docs quality, support channels and their availability per plan, and the health of the learning surface.

0 — No docs beyond marketing pages; support is a contact form that may answer.

3 — Docs exist but are thin or stale; support on entry plans is effectively email-only with slow turnaround.

5 — Searchable help center covering the core product; chat or email support on all plans with reasonable response times.

8 — Deep, current docs incl. onboarding guides and templates; fast chat support not gated to top tiers; visible changelog.

10 — Docs, academy, community and support so good they are a reason to buy; SLAs published, support quality independent of plan.

Report an error

The UX Purist

The Academy is a genuine learning surface — three learning plans, four administrator levels from Associate to Expert, a PEX reporting path, profile-tailored Engage training for project managers, team members and portfolio executives, and certification with a digital diploma — and the Resource Center adds a curated library of articles and guides. But Academy access requires a Planisware portal account, so the deep material sits behind the customer wall. We found no public information on support channels, response times or a changelog. 2 6 7

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Can a buyer determine the real, payable cost of the tool for their team before talking to anyone?

0 — No public pricing at all — every number sits behind "contact sales".

3 — Some tiers are public, but a deciding factor (seat minimums, mandatory add-ons, billing-period surcharge, tax treatment) only surfaces at checkout or in fine print.

5 — Self-serve tiers are publicly priced and the billing-period difference is stated, but the headline number still needs qualifying — e.g. annual-only headline, taxes excluded without saying so, or an opaque enterprise tier doing real work.

8 — Every self-serve tier is fully priced with billing periods and tax treatment plain on the page; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Every tier including enterprise has a public price or published price formula, and the headline number is the number on the invoice.

Report an error

The UX Purist not rated — no public information

We found no public information on pricing: no tiers, numbers or billing terms appear on the captured pages, and the entry point offered is a request for a free demo. A buyer cannot determine a payable cost from anything captured here. 1
