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

  • With the task manager that Workfront implements you can make it much easier to pass information from one team member to another, in case you need to evaluate any activity performed that needs multiple opinions, and everything uploaded to the Workfront platform is automatically stored in the cloud, so there are usually no issues with saved annotations.
  • The information of all production is kept entirely unified in one part of the network, so no matter if it is the simple creation of work material or more weighty operations at the level of group strategy, the management is maintained with the same quality. The handling of the lines of information that Workfront has offered us is fabulous in comparison to the other platforms we tried to use previously. With Workfront we have not had any problems when creating schedules that need to be shared with others.
  • Workfront is equipped with great functions to manage the entire workspace and helps to keep work and tasks strategically planned and managed. It boosts the team power. It also offers centralizes insights from multiple sources of tasks and projects. My team loved this platform.
  • What I like most about it is that it has really helped us to manage multiple projects in a very secure manner.
  • Work front works very efficiently. It helps in managing workflows of our company. Customise forms are there which saves lots of time, energy and efforts. Provides notifications in real time. Dashboards are configurable. Very intuitive features. Easy to use and understand.

Cons

  • Something that the Workfront development team should improve in future updates is the ability to edit in real time from within the platform, since it does not have integrations to video conferencing services that let you edit documents or files in general while you are talking to other members of the group and at the same time they can see the changes.
  • Like most group productivity software, Workfront has far more unintelligible report customization features than a team would really need to work. Presumably this is useful for some with more complex goals, so it's not a real drawback for a team that knows what it needs.
  • Sometimes it's a bit laggy on the daily first run.
  • It is the best! And the easiest to use I have no complaint towards it.
  • Very easy to use. Standardise the process. Saves lots of time.
