Centralized planning has improved resource visibility and supports data‑driven financial decisions

The best features Planview Portfolios offers are visibility enhancement, robust system performance, and comprehensive resource management. This enhanced visibility in Planview Portfolios ensures that all users can easily track progress, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions to optimize workflow efficiency. When discussing robust system performance, the system's robust performance in meeting our various work requirements effectively and efficiently stands out.

I also love the financial breakdown, planning and prioritization, and attribute collection on projects in Planview Portfolios. Planview Portfolios has positively impacted my organization since I started using it. It has enabled me to gain insights into the full scope of work consuming resources. I am able to know where the resources are being consumed more, especially which resources are consuming the most. I have been able to leverage resources management and resource time reporting, which enabled the generation of $90 million in annual revenue through labor billing to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management provides comprehensive project oversight tools, including project scheduling, resources, resource management, and portfolio oversight functionality, providing a holistic view of projects which helps enable stakeholders to make informed decisions based on real-time data while ensuring timely delivery and efficient resource allocation."

"It is very, very good in planning for large projects."

"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."

"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management has one of the nice dashboards because it gives the company a clear picture on the way a project is going."

"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."

"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management has positively impacted my organization by increasing predictability, bringing awareness to the executive level with flawless and seamless integration to other systems, enhancing collaboration, enabling us to deliver projects on time while hitting cost timelines, and increasing project managers' efficiency to manage multiple projects and lower costs by approximately thirty percent."

"The solution's tech support is good."

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management pros

"It maps back to our SDLC process pretty well. I'm able to see the stage of where things are at. We also use Azure DevOps for all of our requirements and our coding."

"The resource management and assignment features are valuable. The timesheet management is also valuable because that is a requirement for us. So, the ability to see timesheet forecasting and timesheet actual submission from resources has been very useful and valuable to us."

"The biggest impact has been getting all these global groups into one space so we can even have intelligent conversations about what are we trying to accomplish. Before, it was just different regions doing whatever. Now, we're all talking the same language, and that's good."

"Planview Portfolios has been the perfect project management tool for me to manage the entire project life cycle from a centralized source, ensuring controlling, tracking, and delivering projects on time within an agreed budget and time frame."

"The look and feel of it is pretty clean."

"In my opinion, the financial planning feature is the most valuable feature of Planview Enterprise One."

"Our transparency is increasing a lot. It is helping us to get people together. There are no dark rooms anymore. In some areas or concepts, we want to add more light to every single concept. That's the big impact that the tool is having. It allows conversations between people."

"The resource capacity planning is the most valuable feature because you can evaluate your team's capacity by team and what projects they're working on and you can forecast easily by team."

Cons

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."

"One area for improvement for Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is that printing from the software can be difficult, and some of the views in Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management are hard to adjust."

"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."

"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."

"I would rate the technical support by Oracle at five out of ten."

"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management cons

"I think that the user interface needs some getting used to. It's not immediately intuitive. That's potentially room for improvement. I think also that an organization needs to have good support from some senior management to get something like Planview established."

"Their off-shore support is something new that they're laying out and the team just needed some development in terms of skill and experience."

"We are not very happy with the customer service. This is one of our main pain points. It doesn't cover the entirety of customer service, as there are reps who are really great and we've had good experiences. Many times, we've had people give us attitude, there was a delay in the response, or just a lack of interest. This got to the point where if there was a problem, we would rather try to solve it ourselves then call customer support."

"The lack of templates harden the initial learning curve."

"Planview Portfolios can be improved as the user interface defaults to the last opened portfolio, which can waste a lot of time loading a large portfolio if that is not what I need at that moment."

"When I started working with Planview, I didn't know anything about project or resource management. I had to learn everything: the admin side, then the user side of it. Probably, in the beginning, I would implement in the blueprint or workshops more demos. A live demo of how the system works because we would like a little deeper dive in how the application works for us to understand what we need to provide, what we are doing, what we will be doing. Because in the beginning, it was so overwhelming, and we didn't know anything about the tool."

"The financial piece of the tool could be better. While it may have to do with the complexity of the work that we do, it seems that the tool should be able to drill down a bit deeper into the financial area."

"The biggest room for improvement are the scripted dialogues. The scripted dialogues are a logic that you set up to force a certain workflow or process to happen. It's very old in respect that there are no clauses that you can apply to that logic. That definitely can use a lot of room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"We overbought our licenses. We looked at our needs three to four years down the road and tried based our contract on that. However, we were over aggressive. We use about a third of the licenses that we have. We're looking to adjust the makeup so we can start utilizing the amount of money that we are spending. Right now, we're overspending, and my organization is not seeing the value in Planview because we are paying so much for licenses that we're not using."

"In the time that I've used it, we've doubled up the amount of dollars on our intended projects."

"Our licensing costs are about a quarter of a million dollars per year."

"The licensing part is a bit costly in comparison with the other available PPM tools."

"Our licensing fees are approximately $50,000 USD annually."

"Our licensing costs are probably $150,000 to $180,000 a year with 270 licenses total."

"We recently did a new bundle for all of Enterprise One. It includes some of the newer pieces, like Projectplace and LeanKit. It bundled our CTM in with it as well. I think the total came out to be about $900,000 a year. This is for unlimited licenses."

"With the costs, they were very understanding. Knowing that we were an existing customer, they were very much willing to work with us to make sure that we were able to transition to Enterprise One from PPM Pro."
