pylotik vs Sciforma: first, note that Sciforma was acquired by Planview, a deal completed on February 18, 2025, and that its product is now called Planview ProjectAdvantage; sciforma.com redirects to planview.com. This project and portfolio management software serves PMOs: demand, planning, resources, budgets, risks. pylotik also covers portfolio steering and prioritization, and steers contracts, projects and maintenance with clients, suppliers and teams, on a single set of data.
A project and portfolio management solution: demand intake and prioritization, planning (Gantt, critical path, dependencies), resources, time, budgets, risks and portfolio reporting. It has been in the process of being integrated into the Planview suite since 2025.
An operational commitment management software: contracts, projects and maintenance, portfolio, committees and team management, and, as a complement, intervention scheduling. The external client accesses it for free to follow what concerns them and to validate what is submitted to them.
Sciforma helps a PMO plan and prioritize the projects of its organization. pylotik also steers and prioritizes the portfolio (workload, priorities, milestones, committees, decisions), and adds the client, suppliers, team management and day-to-day execution.
Sciforma suits a PMO that finely sequences its schedules and equips demand management, or a group already equipped with Planview. pylotik suits an organization that wants to steer its portfolio and its client or supplier commitments in a single tool.
Growing PMOs and project managers, from IT PMOs and product development teams to public administrations. Planview reports thousands of users in 22 countries. The Sciforma Group entity is domiciled in Paris according to its App Store listing, but the vendor is now the American company Planview.
Project directors, operations directors and executives of any organization that runs projects with human time committed, for an external or internal client: industry, construction, engineering, digital, maintenance, administration or public service. Designed and hosted in France by orgatypik SAS, in Toulouse, with public prices on the pricing page.
Sciforma stands out for the depth of its planning. The Planview and Sciforma documentation highlights five points.
Critical path, multiple baselines, critical chain: if your schedules recalculate in cascade, Sciforma is built for that. In pylotik, dependencies between projects and milestones are monitored, without automatic recalculation of dates.
Collecting requests, scoring them, simulating portfolio scenarios: Sciforma equips this step. pylotik steers and prioritizes the portfolio on workload, priorities, milestones and committee decisions, without demand management or scoring.
If your group already uses other Planview products, ProjectAdvantage belongs to the same suite. pylotik has no public API and no SSO; its connectors, which are optional, are built as needs arise, according to client needs.
Sciforma documents sub-projects and programs driven by several projects and products. pylotik links projects on a single level.
The Sciforma cells rely on the Planview ProjectAdvantage documentation and on Sciforma's online help. "Not documented" means that this documentation does not mention it, not that the tool does not do it.

Information checked in October 2026, against the vendors' public documentation. It changes: see the sources. The flag shows the vendor's country; the Cloud Act badge flags a vendor under US law, or owned by a US group, subject to the CLOUD Act; Non-EU, a vendor established outside the European Union.
Prioritizing a large portfolio is the historical territory of PPM, and pylotik covers portfolio steering and prioritization: workload, priorities, milestones, committees and decisions. Sciforma's documentation describes no invoicing, no client portal and no maintenance contracts. pylotik brings them together with the portfolio, when the steering involves a client or a supplier.
Each project links a supplier and a client, and carries its contract: fixed price, a payment schedule on milestones; time and materials, a monthly schedule of days × profile rate. Ordered, invoiced, paid, amount still due, cost and margin are tracked without a side spreadsheet. pylotik does not issue invoices: it connects to the ERP, through a connector built to your needs, to send it the billing orders. See project financial tracking.
After a committee, the minutes are submitted to the client: they validate, refuse with a reason or ask for a correction; with no answer by the agreed deadline, they are validated tacitly. Decisions, actions and risks stay attached to the project. See project governance.
A maintenance contract has its period, its volume in days, its catalog, its committee and indicators shared with the client. In addition, the Interventions module (Business tier) schedules each intervention against the actual workload and has it accepted through the client's signature. See maintenance contract management.
The client portal is free on all tiers for external client organizations. The client finds their milestones, validations and minutes there, from the web or the mobile app, without seeing the supplier's margins or workload.
A client commitment is often steered from pieces: the schedule in one tool, the contract in a spreadsheet, the validations in e-mails. pylotik gathers these pieces on a single reference set of data, which supplier and client both read. The portfolio and the commitment steering with each client then start from the same source. If you are re-evaluating your tool after the acquisition of Sciforma, this is the occasion to check whether you really depend on demand management or on the critical path.
The product exists, under another name. Planview completed the acquisition of Sciforma on February 18, 2025, and Sciforma Vantage became Planview ProjectAdvantage. The sciforma.com site redirects to planview.com.
The Sciforma Group entity is domiciled in Paris according to its App Store listing, but since 2025 the vendor is Planview, based in the United States. pylotik is designed and hosted in France by orgatypik SAS, in Toulouse.
The public documentation describes no client portal. In pylotik, the external client accesses what concerns them for free and validates minutes and interventions.
Yes for steering and prioritizing a portfolio: workload, priorities, milestones, committees and decisions, with your clients, your suppliers and team management on top. If you depend on demand management, scoring or critical-path scheduling, which Sciforma documents and pylotik does not claim, Sciforma remains the better choice.
Yes: an installable web app, at m.pylotik.com, with no app store and no offline mode. Sciforma's, according to its documentation, is dedicated to timesheets.
