Top Vendor at SoftwareReviews

Planforge PPM, TeamDynamix PPM, Mavenlink, and Wrike are named the 2020 Project Portfolio Management Data Quadrant Award Winners.

TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2020 – SoftwareReviews, a division of world-class IT research and consulting firm Info-Tech Research Group, announces the release of the 2020 Project Portfolio Management Data Quadrant Award for best performers according to it software users.

The following four most popular vendors have received gold medals from their users for leading the way with a great customer experience:

1. Planforge (formerly ONEPOINT Projects) (PPM)
2. TeamDynamix (PPM)
3. Mavenlink
4. Wrike

What makes the SoftwareReviews Data Quadrant different is its insightful survey questions, carefully crafted by seasoned IT analysts and backed by 22 years of research in IT. This study involves gathering intelligence on user satisfaction with both product features and experience with the vendor.

Planforge ranked highest among software users, earning the number-one spot in the areas of ease of implementation and IT administration, vendor support, breadth and quality of features, product strategy, and rate of improvement. TeamDynamix ranked number one in delighting customers with the mandatory feature project portfolio management. Mavenlink users were exceedingly satisfied, giving the vendor top scores in many areas including timesheet and lifecycle management, as well as analytics and reporting. Wrike performed consistently well according to users, taking the number-one spot for tasks and team flow management, usability and intuitiveness, and business value created.

When distilled, the customer’s experience is shaped by both the software interface and relationship with the vendor. Evaluating enterprise software along these two dimensions provides a comprehensive understanding of the product in its entirety and helps identify vendors that can deliver on both for the complete software experience.

Relationships play a large role in customer satisfaction, and interactions with a software vendor can be a complex one. The Net Emotional Footprint of a vendor is a result of aggregated emotional response ratings in the areas of capabilities, product features, likeliness to recommend, and experience, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and its product from the software users’ point of view.
