Efficient project planning with advanced impact and delay analysis features

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 most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."
"It is very, very good in planning for large projects."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."
"Delay analysis and extension of time claims are some of the key features."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"It has an inbuilt BI tool, which can be compared to Power BI or Tableau."
"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."
"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."
"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."
"We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."
"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."
"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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."
"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."
"The UI and UX of Planisware are not that advanced."
"I have experienced some issues, and that’s okay. It tends to be stable when the server's processing power and memory are adequate."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution itself is cost-effective."
"My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."
