Planview is built for large enterprise PMOs, with the licensing, implementation timeline, and consultant hours to match. If you manage 3 to 15 projects at a 10 to 200 person firm, that is the right methodology at the wrong cost and complexity tier.
Free during the Closed Beta.
The short version
Time to value
Enterprise rollouts typically involve a paid implementation phase measured in months, often with a consulting partner.
Vaizy
Import your projects and be looking at a live portfolio view within days, no implementation partner required.
Budget health (EVM)
Full EVM capability, but configuration and upkeep usually need a trained PPM administrator.
Vaizy
CPI, SPI, and cost variance calculate automatically from your live milestone and financial data.
Cross-project view
Portfolio rollups exist, but are typically part of a higher licensing tier built for large PMOs.
Vaizy
Select multiple projects and see combined cash flow, shared team load, and risk in one view, included at every tier.
AI on your data
AI features exist but are aimed at enterprise portfolio governance, not a lean team asking direct questions.
Vaizy
Ask questions about your own projects and get answers grounded in your live workspace. Hosted and processed in the EU.
Who it is sized for
Large enterprise PMOs managing dozens to hundreds of projects across business units.
Vaizy
A portfolio manager or PMO lead at a 10 to 200 person firm running 3 to 15 concurrent projects.
What Planview solves for a different company than yours
Planview genuinely solves enterprise portfolio governance. The problem for a 10 to 200 person firm is that its cost, complexity, and implementation timeline are built for a company several times your size.
With Planview
Getting to a working portfolio view means budgeting for an implementation partner and a rollout measured in months.
With Vaizy
Import your projects and see them stacked together within days, with no implementation partner required.
With Planview
EVM is fully featured but needs a trained PPM administrator to configure and maintain correctly.
With Vaizy
Budget health metrics calculate automatically from milestones and financials you are already tracking.
With Planview
Licensing is quoted per enterprise deployment, which is hard to justify for a team running a handful of projects.
With Vaizy
Per-seat pricing sized for a portfolio manager or PMO lead running 3 to 15 concurrent projects.
With Planview
Giving a client or junior team member scoped access adds complexity to an already heavy admin model.
With Vaizy
Member accounts get a scoped view of their own work, without access to financials or other people's data.

How pricing compares
Enterprise quote only. Pricing is not published and typically involves a sales process scoped to your organization's size and modules.
Vaizy
Vaizy uses transparent, self-serve, per-seat pricing for Manager accounts, published on the pricing page with Essential and Pro tiers billed monthly or annually, plus an Enterprise tier available on request. Team members who need a scoped view get a free Member account, with a limited number included on every Manager tier. Nothing requires a sales call to see the price.
Common questions
Is Vaizy a replacement for Planview?
For a 10 to 200 person firm running a handful of concurrent projects, yes. Vaizy gives you the same core discipline, cross-project visibility and automatic EVM, without an enterprise implementation. If you run a large multi-business-unit PMO with dozens of projects and dedicated PPM staff, Planview's depth may still be the right fit.
Can I bring my existing Planview data into Vaizy?
Yes. Export your project and portfolio data to Excel or CSV and import projects, milestones, team, risks, and budgets into Vaizy, with column matching and validation before anything is published.
Why is Vaizy simpler to set up than Planview?
Vaizy is built for a lean portfolio manager to configure directly, without a dedicated PPM administrator or implementation partner. You import your data, match your columns, and you have a live portfolio view.
Why does EU hosting matter?
Vaizy is incorporated and hosted in the European Union, and is not subject to the US CLOUD Act or any non-European jurisdiction. For teams handling client financial data under GDPR, that is often a requirement, not a preference.
