Smartsheet sticker shock?
Ever visited a favorite restaurant after new owners took over, and it’s much more expensive and not as good? Smartsheet’s acquisition creates the same uncertainty.
Will your priorities remain their priorities? Will roadmap commitments survive the inevitable “optimization” process? With viewer license costs already increasing post-acquisition, the pattern is clear.
Why stake your enterprise strategy on a platform with an uncertain future?
Planview is a long-term strategic partner, with a consistent vision, and predictable pricing.
Spreadsheet sprawl isn’t all that smart anymore
As your business grows, Smartsheet groans. Multiple instances, tons of different “sheets”, and many inconsistent fields create data islands, forcing you to try to duct tape it together. Suddenly, your “simple solution” becomes your biggest bottleneck and that “single source of truth” you hoped for is now a multiverse of confusion – managing conflicting data, duplicate workflows, and disconnected insights.
Planview was born ready for you to start, grow, and scale. Our architecture handles any size dataset without breaking a sweat, giving you the insights you need, when you need it, even with thousands of projects and users. Plus, our modular approach lets you choose exactly the capabilities you need today while having the flexibility to seamlessly activate additional features as your business evolves – no growing pains, just natural progression.
When your business is growing, shouldn’t your portfolio management solution keep up instead of complicating things?
Show me the strategy
Data without actionable insight is like a map without directions. Just having information is not enough. You need to know the story it tells.
A spreadsheet in fancy clothes is still just a spreadsheet. Smartsheet might collect project data nicely, but can it clearly show you what that data means for your business?
When executives ask, “Which initiatives deliver the most strategic value?” or “How will shifting resources impact our roadmap?” Smartsheet falls silent. Pretty charts of project status don’t equal strategic insight.
Planview translates execution data into strategic intelligence. We connect your projects to business outcomes, optimize resource allocation across portfolios, and provide the comprehensive view your leaders need for confident decisions.
Count on more than just counting
Ever had to explain to executives why critical projects are delayed despite having “enough resources” on paper? When resource conflicts derail important work, basic tracking tools leave you holding the bag of excuses.
As your business grows, so does the resource puzzle. Teams span departments, contractors come and go, and suddenly your “resource management” feels more like juggling while blindfolded.
Planview gives you the global visibility to place every resource where it delivers the most value, matching skills to demands while automatically detecting conflicts before they arise. Our solution gives you more than just task handling and resource scheduling. It gives you the power to handle the complexity so you can focus on strategic decisions, not resource firefighting.
Connected intelligence, not just connected tools
Rudimentary integrations, simple dashboards, and basic AI features leave you manually stitching together disconnected information islands, leaving you feeling lost when you should feel informed.
The grid views are dead. It’s time for connected intelligence.
Planview delivers a solid data foundation to connect work across your organization, enriching your data, shown through new ways of visualization and AI that doesn’t just automate the mundane but transforms portfolio, program, and project data into strategic recommendations to drive toward your business objectives.
True enterprise intelligence requires both depth of integration, new ways of visualization, and breadth of insight: intelligence continents, not islands.

Planview is a trusted technology partner
Organizations across different industries experienced similar benefits from implementing a more robust project/portfolio management solution.
“Planview helps us turn strategy into project deliverables… Because every single project is captured, maintained and updated, we have a fantastic overview of where we stand.”
Sebastian Büchle, PMO Lead & PPM Platform Owner
“I think one of the things that we’ve really seen is the credibility of the PMO. I had to learn to start showing data, and Planview is how I show it.”
Marea Herrington, Director of Planning/Governance
“The automation enabled by Planview has empowered our Technology teams to provide visibility of our investments, run more work, with more resources and with greater efficiency.”
Bhavna Longani, Vice President & Head Strategy
“When we looked at our operations landscape and found that everybody had different databases, spreadsheets & tools for project management. A customer would ask us for updates and providing an answer quickly was quite difficult. That’s one of the gaps we closed by obtaining a single platform across the business.”
Andy Watson, Director of Digital Operations
“We had 20 business areas, each with their own PPM tool. Hundreds of users had joint projects they were managing in their own systems, yet people were surprised with all of the cost overruns. Nothing was integrated, we had a fractured enterprise.”
Sajad Shah, Program Manager
“A weekly report would have taken us 2 days to receive, format, review, and publish. Now with Planview, it takes literally an hour. This allows us focus much more on the content and what’s being delivered.”
Stephen Budd, Senior PMO Analyst
