Many PMOs struggle with disconnected spreadsheets, inconsistent prioritization, and overcommitted teams. Acuity addresses these challenges by providing a centralized platform for managing work intake, evaluating project value, building portfolio roadmaps, and understanding resource capacity in real time. With configurable intake forms, organizations can standardize how new work is proposed and reviewed. Built-in scoring models and risk-value analysis enable objective prioritization, while portfolio roadmaps provide visibility into timing, dependencies, and potential conflicts. Resource capacity planning helps teams understand availability and identify constraints before work is approved, reducing the risk of overloading the organization. Acuity also provides a wide range of supporting capabilities, including dashboards, status reporting, financial tracking, risk and issue management, and scenario planning. These features work together to create a single source of truth for portfolio data, improving transparency and reducing manual reporting effort. What sets Acuity apart is its Decision Intelligence framework. Unlike traditional tools that focus primarily on execution, Acuity applies AI to portfolio governance—helping leaders evaluate feasibility, identify trade-offs, and maintain consistency in decision-making over time. AI-generated insights are transparent and explainable, ensuring that human decision-makers remain in control. The platform is designed for ease of use and rapid implementation, making it accessible for organizations that are not ready for complex, process-heavy enterprise tools. At the same time, its flexibility allows it to scale as governance maturity increases. By improving the quality of decisions before work begins, Acuity PPM helps organizations reduce risk, align investments with strategy, and increase the likelihood of successful delivery. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 16 users.

How easily we were able to fit our current process into the software and how much more portfolio visibility we gained. > > **Cons**: I would love to have a more robust permission/roles set up. > > Working with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been a dream\! He listened to our needs and provided suggestions on how to use the software to meet those needs. We have worked with him to import our current portfolio of projects and created a work intake process for new proposals. We look forward to adding a prioritization scoring model and resource management. Whenever we suggest new features or functionality, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] takes it to his developers to see if those enhancements are feasible. They have completed many requested enhancements. Acuity not only provides the software, but they provide great insight on project portfolio management in general. They send out articles, videos, and tips that have proven to be extremely helpful in my organization. Our experience with Acuity PPM has been excellent. We look forward to a continued relationship with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team\! ----- ### "Great PPM Tool - Easy to Use" — 4.0/5 > **Yvonne** | *15 November 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Acuity is easy to get up and running on - very intuitive. I really like the projects dashboard view (I use it very often), and the ability to drill down into the project details from this view. It is very easy to create a status report, and to refer back to previous status reports as well. > > **Cons**: It would be great to have some additional features (although I'm sure you are working on them), such as: more text formatting in the status reports, ability to export the project list and project status, ability to sort the projects in the portfolio view, ability to easily see plan vs. actuals for dates and budget. > > Using Acuity is helping to centralize our project portfolio information, and it makes it a one stop shop for project information. ----- ### "Mainly Status Reports" — 4.0/5 > **Clay** | *18 November 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I will admit I really only use the software for status reports (versus advanced tracking). Given this I am not sure I can speak to some of the features of the software. I would say the status reports section is useful and easy to use. I haven't seen any issues with the software in this regard. > > **Cons**: There was 1 time (about 3 months ago) that I had issues with login (lasted maybe 10 minutes). I didn't report and can't honestly say if the issue was related to the software. But otherwise I have seen/had no issues with the software. > > We are doing mainly project tracking and this would include status reports, timelines, etc. ----- ### "Easy to Spin Up\!" — 5.0/5 > **Barbara** | *20 January 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. The intuitive interface made it very easy to come-up to speed quickly. 2. Critical information need to manage and assess performance of a portfolio is smartly placed on screens. 3. Acuity gives you just enough but not too much. Larger systems are cumbersome and can be difficult to navigate. 4. Being able to export individual portfolios for additional analysis was very helpful. > > **Cons**: We really like the product and don't find issues at this time. > > Acuity PPM has been used in the classroom as part of a simulation for graduate students in the Lerner College of Business. During a busy semester where time is of the essence the intuitive interface enabled students to come-up-to-speed very quickly. Each student took the role of an executive team member. Executives could quickly rank and approve projects tied to strategic goals. Reporting is very strong – critical information was at our fingertips allowing us to quickly assess portfolio value and risk. Also, having been the Lerner College IT Director (prior to teaching), I managed an IT project portfolio in Excel using nothing short of brute force to garner the information required for executive reporting. If Acuity was available at the time - it would have been adopted in a heartbeat\! ----- ### "Fantastic option to reduce spreadsheets" — 4.0/5 > **Britni** | *30 November 2022* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Prior to purchasing Acuity I would often find myself creating spreadsheet after spreadsheet to prioritize our organizations projects with our leadership. I happen to come across Acuity and quickly realized it had everything that I needed to work through these sessions. This is very instrumental in my end of year planning of our project portfolio and project status updates. > > **Cons**: There are still parts being enhanced which is understandable. > > Our rep has been fantastic and very easy to work with which made adoption to this a very smooth process. It no longer have to create multiple spreadsheets to manage my project portfolio and I thank Acuity for that\! ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/261396/acuity-ppm?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/261396/acuity-ppm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
