Featured Reviews

Neeraj Chaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Aligns with agile frameworks for streamlined project management
User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive. Additionally, a lot of querying and customization is needed for reporting. If there could be some templates out of the box, it would be helpful. Making the report creation process faster and easier with drag-and-drop features would be beneficial.
ManeshGeorge - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient project planning with advanced impact and delay analysis features
You need to have a good understanding of project management before you build programs using P6. Learning the tool takes time, so you should spend hands-on time with it while developing your project management skills. It's a mix of hands-on work and project management skills. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of JIRA Portfolio is very good."
"Its stability is very reliable."
"The solution includes good and fast notifications for other project team members."
"In general, the valuable features of the tool are its capabilities concerning dependency reports and task status."
"The integration is very good. We've more or less integrated with everything including reporting and registering."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The status update function is the most valuable feature."
"The graphics and the resolution of the work are very good."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."
"The integration with Unifier, which is also an Oracle tool, ensures that the data is correct and timely."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"Delay analysis and extension of time claims are some of the key features."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"It is very, very good in planning for large projects."
 

Cons

"This solution is not able to be integrated with other solutions because you have to upgrade it and pay for more licensing."
"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."
"When using a scrum board, it only shows the current or open sprint. However, we also need to see past and future sprints, which is important for planning the next sprint. To solve this, we tried using a Kanban board instead, but since we follow the Scrum methodology, it's not the ideal solution."
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"User experience should be more intuitive."
"The workflow needs improvement."
"We would love to be able to have direct contact with Atlassian. Currently, they are not working directly with West African countries. We are considering using JIRA Align, but when we contact them, they say that as we are in West Africa, they don't directly work with West Africa."
"With Jira, an issue that arises is the length of time it takes to show certain data."
"For us in LATAM, the pricing is extremely high. That is why I only work with oil and gas and mining industries because they have substantial budgets."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."
"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."
 

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."
"The price could be improved."
"We only have nine people using it so we have a standard cost of $150 dollar per year. There are only additional costs if you exceed the limit of users, then you start paying by user. The cost is significantly higher."
"Portfolio is well-priced - a license for ten users costs $100 or $150 a month."
"The pricing continues to get higher."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"We pay our fees annually, although monthly payments are also available."
"The solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."
"My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."
"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."
"The solution itself is cost-effective."
