About

Acuity PPM is a modern project and portfolio management platform that helps organizations make better decisions before work begins—not just track execution after the fact. It provides a centralized solution for managing work intake, prioritization, portfolio roadmaps, and resource capacity planning. With configurable dashboards, scoring models, scenario planning, and financial tracking, Acuity gives leaders clear visibility into portfolio performance, risk, and alignment. What differentiates Acuity is its Decision Intelligence approach. AI is applied at the point of governance—helping teams evaluate feasibility, identify trade-offs, and maintain consistent, explainable prioritization. Simple to adopt and flexible to scale, Acuity replaces spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a single source of truth—enabling organizations to approve less work, reduce risk, and deliver more successfully.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • User interface is fantastically straightforward. Tremendous flexibility in configuring the tool to meet our specific needs. User adoption is high with such a logical, clean interface.
  • Great visibility of projects and programs as well as portfolio health. Easy to navigate Easy to add new users to the system and assign appropriate permissions
  • Very easy package to use - navigating & updating, creating new reports. Intuitive. Everything from a PM perspective contained within the various tabs. Easy to share progress, related documents etc with stakeholders. Easy to navigate to other project status reports which may have an impact or dependency on your project. New functionality delivered quite frequently.
  • I'm sure it serves a purpose, but not the way we are using it.
  • Great views of projects, great view to show stakeholders and a good reference to show an overall status of projects.

Cons

  • Reporting is a bit limited when you need to do custom reporting, but improvements are coming. Timeline is a bit lacking but at a high level, it meets our specific needs, but again, improvement is coming.
  • While I am a fairly new user to Acuity, I don't have any issues with the system.
  • 1. Have encountered an intermittent issue when adding a new risk or issue and app displays blank boxes without a title. Resolution is to shutdown app and restart because if you do try and fill out the blank boxes the risk or issue will not save. 2. Sometimes when editing a status repot and I've used back space it all the text above is accidentally delete, sometimes a whole paragraph. I have to re-enter updates so have learnt to frequently save the report as I update it.
  • Doesn't allow effective decisions to be made from a complete range of source data that automatically calculates variances to key metrics, and then presents them in a succinct format.
  • 1. There are some views and reporting (specific to our company) that I am not able to customize. However, I do have some workarounds in place. 2. Integration with other tools (export and import data) 3. Security/Access: Limiting access to certain views based on the resource. 4. Capacity tool should have more customizations (build in customize shrinkage and also view in hours vs. percent)

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • BizzDesign members are involved with Archimate definition. So Archimate visual modelling support is ok.

Cons

  • UI is old fashioned and usability is bad. There are a lot of flaws in the tool regarding usability and functionalty. It is tedious to even create simple reports. In most cases you need to create a script with the BizzDesign specific scripting language, which does not have a community or technical state of the arte dev tools like intelissense or even debugging. Reports like matrix views are publishes as image, so now filtering for end useres in their publication tool Horizzon. So nearly not usable. Support of other model languages than Archimate is even less supported. In ERD you not even have a layout functionality. Any state of the art integrations like cloud stencils are missing. Import/export with Excel is tedious and SQL import not fully implemented.
