Black Friday: is there a Planview sale?
Planview report card
Weak · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for large companies planning a portfolio of work
Planview is a family of enterprise portfolio, resource and delivery products that the company sells through its sales team. No prices are published, the trial terms are not stated, and which product you need depends on the job. A small team has no reason to start here.
Who Planview is for
- Fits if you run a large portfolio and have a buying process that includes sales calls
- Works for companies that need portfolio, resource and delivery planning from one vendor
Who Planview is not for
- Skip it if you want to see a price first: the site has no pricing page
- Not for you if you are a small team, as the company says it serves more than 3,000 customers
- Watch out: it is several products, and the trial terms were not stated
- Too light on public detail to compare plans, trial or limits without talking to sales
Why Planview gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published and plans are sold through sales, so it sits in the middle until a quote says otherwise.
- DFree plan and trialThe site offers demos and free trials, but the pages read do not state the length or whether a card is needed. No free plan.
- CFeaturesPortfolio planning, resource capacity, dependencies and dashboards. It is a family of separate products, so no single one covers the whole job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Sold to enterprises through a sales process, so expect set-up work.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only on the listing, with no integrations or API named on the pages read.

Keep Planview, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Planview you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 106 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Planview’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
