04/ Summary
PPM Express is different – it is a genuine cloud software product running on secure Microsoft Azure and is instantly ready to use. PPM Express can be tuned up any time along the way – and you don’t have to be a consultant to make that change – any user can make a configuration change or build a new project template. We are proud of how easy it is and that no consultants are required. We introduced a new way for organizations to realize value faster, see results more quickly, get better ROI, and protect existing investments with other tools.
Wrike is a respectable SaaS-based project management software overall. The application is well-built and contains a wide range of features. However, there are issues with the user interface and the absence of a clear path to proceed. Pricing is another significant barrier for new and small enterprises. If you’re looking for project management software, you can surely find a cheaper solution with capabilities similar to Wrike.

06/ COST EFFECTIVENESS
The only cost you face in implementing PPM Express Enterprise is an annual subscription, starting at $2,000/year (price depends on the number of seats; PPM Express provides enterprise plans with unlimited team member seats).
On the contrast, several companies indicated that the total implementation cost for Wrike can reach over USD100,000. The hefty price tag of One Plan is due to a need to purchase days or weeks of Implementation Consulting and additional integration components.
We strongly believe that paying tens of thousands of dollars for consulting services to configure a PPM is an outdated and unfair practice that benefits vendors, not customers. Also, consider costs and needs for maintenance, support, and changes in the future – it requires developers and consultants.
We believe modern products need to be SIMPLE and EASY TO IMPLEMENT, without consultants.
We believe in empowering our customers with knowledge, and to all of our customers, we offer:
- Complimentary End-user Training
- Complimentary Administrator Training
- Complimentary Implementation Advisory
- Complimentary PPM Health checks every 90 days.
