We performed a comparison between Microsoft Project and Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup is pretty simple."
"Resource leveling is very useful. We like this feature. We like to be able to expand tasks and look at different resources and tasks usages. It is good at assigning tasks to teams. It is pretty compliant with the Project Management Institute approach, which is useful for being comprehensive. It allows us to make little Gantt charts and network diagrams."
"We have not had any problems with Microsoft's technical support. We are happy with the support."
"In my experience, this solution is one of the best for the waterfall management model."
"It comes with our Office 365."
"The project tracking, resource utilization and the cost are the most beneficial aspects of this solution."
"One of the best features is that it is easy to use."
"They have begun to improve with the new cloud integration."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"Microsoft's solution isn't really a collaboration tool, however. If you need a collaboration tool, you can use Slack, which can be integrated with your JIRA."
"It is a traditional Waterfall-based solution, so it doesn't lend itself particularly well to Agile development. You can record Agile sprints within it, but it is not really an Agile-based product. It can store the basic information about budgets that an Agile set of work is looking to use, but that's about it."
"Collaboration is an area that needs improvements."
"It would be better if the solution is integrated with other communication platforms like Microsoft Teams."
"In a future update, the system should be more inclusive and open to everyone, not just limited to one organization. For example, there may be instances where we want to bring in a guest from outside our organization and integrate them into our project. It would be beneficial if the system was more accessible and easy to integrate with other projects. Additionally, it would be great if there was a way to receive notifications, regardless of whether they come from a Gmail domain or another domain, to keep us informed of any incoming tasks."
"I would like to see more integrations with another software tool."
"The tool's deployment is complex. Integration and automation also need to be improved."
"What could have been better is the integration with Office 365 so that if you're discussing a project on Teams or there's an email related to the project, it can be tagged to the project in Microsoft Project. That functionality is currently not there."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
