A very active platform without passing reminder notifications > > **Cons**: It is simple and there is nothing that I dislike, it has the basics to have a good agenda planning > > It is useful for this type of people who have many daily commitments and who often fail to fulfill them because they forget or do not organize the day well ----- ### "PPME Tames Training on the Wild Side." — 5.0/5 > **John** | *1 July 2025* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Visualization of our 100+ concurrent trainings with detailed data drill-downs to our heart's content. Allows us to proactively manage trainings, trainer and trainee conflicts, and all stakeholders who need various levels of awareness of our training activity: also love that we can manage user view-only levels in PPME. > > **Cons**: Configuring the tool to your specific needs takes a bit of time. No question PPME empowers you to do that and the up-front support from the PPME team was solid. I'd just suggest that slowing down to invest time to learn and leverage its logic and powerful database is definitely worth it\! > > Excellent. We started by reviewing about 6 other tools, narrowed it two 2, choose PME. Six weeks in and still learning all the powerful ways we can manage our trainings and slice \& dice specific reports to optimize and track our training activity + easily generate KPI reports to leaders. ----- ### "Effective resources and schedules Management" — 4.0/5 > **Maziar** | *22 August 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Real-time visibility, customizability and ease of use and integration options to connect with other SWs including MS Excel, Power BI and etc. > > **Cons**: Performance slowdown with large files, initial complexity for new users and possibly extensive training, "Today" button is required to navigate back to the current date, rather than the first column always showing the current date > > My overall experience was positive particularly regarding its user-friendly interface, flexibility, and ability to handle various scheduling needs ----- ### "Electrical Company User" — 5.0/5 > **Gavin** | *24 October 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really like the quarterly view, which lets me look at 13 weeks of planning. I also like that we can scroll forward in time very easily. This is particularly helpful as a lot of our projects are planned well in advance. I also like that we can have colour codes for different resource groups and different tasks. > > **Cons**: There has been a recent change made which sees the quarterly view default to Monday (1st day of the week) instead of today. This has only changed recently and means I am forced to click on the "today" button every time. The 1st column should always be today. Would be good if this could be changed back. Would also be good if Microsoft outlook bookings could be integrated into PME schedule. > > Excellent. The uptime on the system is great, we can access it from our mobile phones and any questions we have are answered promptly. ----- ### "Ideal for remote or hybrid teams" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *21 August 2025* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has been very useful for scheduling resources, absences, and tasks because it allows for easy integration of all this information into the system, allowing for better organization. Visualizations are the key to correctly verifying the order of tasks and enabling real-time collaboration that reflects the changes we make to validate what needs to be completed or improved for each project. Their customer service staff has always been very kind in answering each of my questions, rectifying any concerns I have that could delay my process. > > **Cons**: I don't entirely like the mobile app; not all the features are the same as the web version, and I find it a bit slow to load information. The web version is wonderful. > > It has been ideal for working in remote teams, enabling seamless collaboration with everyone in real time, helping each other improve each task or reduce the time allotted. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/353653/planningpme?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/353653/planningpme) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
