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…

A comprehensive project and portfolio management with robust scalability and dedicated long-tenured support team
Its benefits extend to the centralization and control of projects, particularly in terms of maintaining consistency in defining tasks, projects, cost accounts, and other essential elements. This level of standardization is crucial for efficiency and clarity, especially in large organizations managing diverse projects with varying timelines and complexities. The software's strength lies in its adept handling of categorization, allowing users to tailor how projects are categorized based on their specific organizational needs. Moreover, it facilitates the creation of activity types and simplifies the development of project templates. These templates serve as master projects, enabling users to swiftly replicate and customize projects by leveraging pre-defined structures. The significance lies in the ability to replicate successful approaches consistently. When a company discovers an effective method, it can be seamlessly incorporated into Planisware. The result is a standardized language that remains consistent across various projects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's tech support is good."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."
"It has an inbuilt BI tool, which can be compared to Power BI or Tableau."
"Planisware offers integration with multiple tools and provides a good level of customization."
"Planisware has introduced Agile concepts, making it capable of Agile management similar to Jira and other Agile tools."
"We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."
"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."
"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."
"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else."
 

Cons

"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"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 scalability has room for improvement."
"The biggest con for Planisware is that if you are not a Planisware partner, you don't have access to their functions, making it difficult for beginners and new team members."
"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."
"I have experienced some issues, and that’s okay. It tends to be stable when the server's processing power and memory are adequate."
"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."
"More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration."
"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."
"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."
"There are training and certification costs."
"The solution is expensive and support is an extra cost. There are three license types to choose from, and we only pay for support and cloud services depending on our needs."
"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."
"It comes with a high cost."
