Community FAQ

Questions by product

Cerri FAQ

Does Cerri support self-hosting or is it strictly SaaS?

Cerri is offered as a modern SaaS platform and does not currently provide a self-hosted deployment option. All data and project management features are accessed through their cloud service, so teams requiring on-premises hosting would need to consider alternative solutions or contact Cerri for potential enterprise arrangements.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Can Cerri be used offline or does it require a constant internet connection?

Cerri requires an active internet connection to access its project management features since it is a cloud-native SaaS application. There is no offline mode or local client that supports offline editing or syncing at this time.

Community insight informed by Hacker News discussions

What are the data ownership and export capabilities in Cerri?

Cerri ensures that customers retain full ownership of their project data. The platform supports exporting project information in common formats such as CSV and Excel for offline backup or migration purposes. However, some export features may be limited depending on the subscription tier.

Community insight informed by StackOverflow discussions

Are there any API limitations or restrictions when integrating Cerri with other enterprise tools?

Cerri provides a RESTful API for integrations, but API access and rate limits vary by plan tier. Some advanced API features, such as webhooks and automation triggers, are only available on higher subscription levels. It is recommended to review the API documentation and plan details to ensure it meets your integration needs.

Community insight informed by Forums discussions

What is involved in migrating existing projects from tools like Smartsheet to Cerri?

Migrating to Cerri from platforms like Smartsheet typically requires exporting project data from the legacy tool in supported formats (CSV, XLSX) and then importing it into Cerri. While Cerri offers import utilities to facilitate this process, some manual reconfiguration of workflows and permissions may be necessary due to differences in feature sets and data models.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Planview Enterprise One FAQ

Does Planview Enterprise One support on-premises self-hosting, or is it only cloud-based?

Planview Enterprise One primarily offers a cloud-hosted SaaS model, but it also supports on-premises deployment for enterprises with strict data residency or security requirements. However, on-premises setup is complex and requires significant infrastructure and IT resources to manage updates and integrations.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Can Planview Enterprise One be used offline or does it require constant internet connectivity?

Planview Enterprise One does not support offline usage; it requires a stable internet connection to access its portfolio management and analytics features. Some limited offline data entry might be possible through integrated mobile apps, but full functionality is cloud-dependent.

Community insight informed by Hacker News discussions

What are the data ownership and export capabilities in Planview Enterprise One for enterprise compliance?

Enterprises retain full ownership of their data within Planview Enterprise One. The platform provides robust export options including CSV, Excel, and API-based data extraction to support compliance and integration with other systems. However, exporting large datasets can require administrative permissions and may be subject to performance considerations.

Community insight informed by StackOverflow discussions

Are there any API limitations or rate limits when integrating Planview Enterprise One with other enterprise tools?

Planview Enterprise One offers a comprehensive REST API for integration, but it enforces rate limits to ensure platform stability. These limits vary by subscription tier and can be adjusted for large enterprise customers upon request. The API supports most portfolio, resource, and financial data operations but some advanced Stage-Gate workflow features may not be fully exposed.

Community insight informed by Forums discussions

What is the recommended migration path for moving existing project and portfolio data into Planview Enterprise One?

Planview recommends using their professional services team for complex migrations, especially for enterprises with legacy project management systems. Standard migration tools support CSV and Excel imports for project, resource, and financial data. Custom migration scripts can be developed using the API for more tailored data transformations.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Microsoft Project Online FAQ

Is Microsoft Project Online available for self-hosting or only as a cloud service?

Microsoft Project Online is offered exclusively as a cloud-based service within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. There is no option for on-premises or self-hosted deployment, so enterprises must rely on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure for hosting and data management.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Can I work offline with Microsoft Project Online and sync changes later?

Microsoft Project Online itself requires an internet connection to access and update projects. However, users can utilize the desktop client Microsoft Project Professional, which supports offline work. Changes made offline in Project Professional can be synchronized with Project Online once reconnected.

Community insight informed by StackOverflow discussions

Who owns the data stored in Microsoft Project Online and how is it protected?

Data stored in Microsoft Project Online remains the property of the customer organization. Microsoft acts as a data processor under strict compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001). Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, and customers retain control over access permissions through Azure Active Directory.

Community insight informed by Hacker News discussions

What are the API limitations when integrating Microsoft Project Online with other tools?

Microsoft Project Online exposes REST APIs primarily through the Microsoft Graph and Project Online CSOM APIs. These APIs support project, task, and resource data operations but have throttling limits and do not cover all UI functionalities. Some complex portfolio analytics features are not accessible via API and require manual interaction or Power BI integration.

Community insight informed by Forums discussions

How can I export or migrate project data from Microsoft Project Online to other platforms?

Project data can be exported from Microsoft Project Online using built-in export features to Excel or Project desktop files (.mpp). For migration, third-party tools or custom scripts leveraging the Project Online APIs are commonly used. However, complex portfolio structures and resource assignments may require manual adjustments post-migration.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Wrike FAQ

Does Wrike offer any self-hosting options for enterprise data control?

Wrike is a fully cloud-based SaaS platform and does not provide self-hosting options. All data is stored on Wrike's servers with enterprise-grade security, but on-premise deployment is not supported.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Can Wrike be used offline or does it require constant internet connectivity?

Wrike requires an active internet connection for most functionality. While some mobile apps offer limited offline access to cached tasks, full offline editing and syncing are not supported.

Community insight informed by Hacker News discussions

What are the data export capabilities in Wrike for migrating to other platforms?

Wrike supports exporting project data in formats like Excel and CSV, and also provides API access to extract data. However, there is no one-click full project export/import for migrating entire workflows to other tools.

Community insight informed by StackOverflow discussions

Are there any notable API limitations when integrating Wrike with custom enterprise tools?

Wrike's API is robust for task and project management but has rate limits and some endpoints require specific permissions tied to user roles. Bulk data operations can be slow, so careful planning is needed for large-scale integrations.

Community insight informed by Forums discussions

Smartsheet FAQ

Does Smartsheet support self-hosting or is it only cloud-based?

Smartsheet is a fully cloud-based SaaS platform and does not offer a self-hosted deployment option. All data and workflows reside on Smartsheet's servers, so teams requiring on-premises hosting or private cloud installations will need to consider alternative solutions.

Community insight informed by Reddit discussions

Is there any offline functionality available in Smartsheet for working without internet access?

Smartsheet does not provide native offline editing capabilities. Users must be connected to the internet to access, edit, and sync their sheets. Some limited offline viewing is possible through exported files, but real-time collaboration and automation require an active connection.

Community insight informed by Hacker News discussions

Who owns the data stored in Smartsheet, and what are the data export options?

Data entered into Smartsheet remains the property of the customer, but it is stored on Smartsheet's cloud infrastructure. Users can export their sheets in formats like Excel, CSV, and PDF for backup or migration purposes. However, there is no direct database export or bulk API export for entire account data, which can complicate large-scale migrations.

Community insight informed by StackOverflow discussions

What are the limitations of the Smartsheet API for integrating with custom workflows?

The Smartsheet API provides robust REST endpoints for reading and writing sheet data, managing users, and automations. However, it has rate limits (typically 300 requests per minute) and does not support all UI features such as advanced reporting or some automation triggers. Complex relational data modeling is also limited compared to database-centric platforms.

Community insight informed by Forums discussions

What are the recommended migration paths from Airtable or Excel to Smartsheet?

Smartsheet supports importing data directly from Excel and CSV files, which is the primary method for migrating from Excel or Airtable exports. For Airtable, users typically export tables as CSV and then import them into Smartsheet sheets. However, complex Airtable relationships and app-like workflows may require manual reconfiguration since Smartsheet's relational modeling is less flexible.
