Powerful, flexible solution with a bit of a learning curve
The weakness of the solution is that the interface is a little nonstandard, meaning it's very flexible. It's got a lot of power and gives the user the ability to combine different projects into the portfolio and move user stories between projects and link them. What I have found in a couple of organizations that I've used it with, is that the uptake tends to be a little slow because it's got a bit of a learning curve. It can dump data out to Excel and those programs, but it also has a big ecosystem of plugins and add-ons that you can get. I guess it has some strength in that regard, but if you're going to run it on-prem, you have to have people that are pretty well-versed in the program and have the time and capabilities to handle integration and make sure they're adding those modules correctly. Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. Now they are moving into these new use cases, including systems development, business projects, business processes, and redevelopment projects, but there is a problem with the nomenclature that they use, and some of the documentation is a little techy for moving it into those more business-focused use cases. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up.

It helps us track progress and results
I work for an engineering and construction company that uses Primavera for project planning and management. We use it in specific projects when clients request it.  Primavera helps us track project progress and results.  I like Primavera's planning capabilities.  Primavera could be better…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very powerful and the underlying structure of it is well done. The company behind the solution is very open as far as their whole ecosystem is concerned. They also do a lot of work in the training area."
"We use Jira Portfolio in our organization for issue tracking and task management. We had many projects. We didn't use it much for forecasting, but we did use it a bit for release planning by assigning tasks to releases. We didn't use it for project management or scenario planning; we just used it for tasks."
"The way to manage cards as a KANBAN, is really easy but when you need to track hundreds of projects, you need to be very clear in which way the things must be completed."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules. Atlassian provides a lot of products around JIRA, such as compliance for the documentation, BitBucket for the Git version. We are new to these products developed by Atlassian, but they can integrate very easily. Generally, when an editor is developing a solution, they think about integrating with JIRA. When we are looking for any other solution, they plan to easily integrate with JIRA."
"The workflow and bucket features are most helpful."
"The product's centralized database creates a single source of data for working groups so no data needs to be reconciled."
"The most valuable feature of the JIRA Portfolio is for managing teams of 10 or more. It can track the program level and portfolio. There are plenty of beneficial features, such as the hierarchy-level view, customization, and structure plugin."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
 

Cons

"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"The team-centric view is slightly weaker in JIRA compared to its competitors, especially considering how I can evaluate how each resource has been placed, not just in one project but across JIRA."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"As there are no perfect solutions and considering that I rate JIRA Portfolio's stability an eight out of ten, I feel it is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"It's got kind of a steep learning curve."
"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"Jira has room for improvement in terms of managing various projects and linking requirements centrally under one project. They could include some add-ons that enable you to link all the requirements and put them into a centralized place. That central place should be restricted to a limited set of users with privileges based on user groups with those rights."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we first got the tool, it cost 3,000 euros a year for unlimited users, which was a great deal. But the prices kept going up over the years. I'm not involved with pricing anymore, but I heard they increased a lot, so we decided to stop using it."
"There are free plugins available, but most of them are at an additional cost. Additionally, other services are an extra cost."
"The product is really not very expensive."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."
"The solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."
"The solution itself is cost-effective."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is an expensive solution. There is an upfront cost to purchase the solution and then there are annual fees to use the solution."
