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. It is very stable and reliable, contributing to a seamless user experience, which enables users to focus on their tasks without disruptions. 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

"The solution's tech support is good."

"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."

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

"The integration with Unifier, which is also an Oracle tool, ensures that the data is correct and timely."

"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."

"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."

"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."

"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."

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management pros

"With the lifecycles, it helps us step through our processes easier. We'll take a process and create it in Visio, then we'll go and implemented in Planview. Anytime that we have to do a new process, this is what we use. We just step it through the lifecycles and the configure screens are very easy to use. The fields that you need are easy to use."

"We use expenditures quite a bit. We put in forecast expenditures and then we actualize them below the line in the little box in the bottom tray. Being able to track the project with relevant milestones is also valuable. Milestones are valuable because it helps us to keep the project on track. The expenditures are valuable because we need to be able to understand expenses that are beyond the regular resources in the projects."

"The portfolio and technology management are well built."

"Planview Portfolios offers us a single source of truth and enables a faster, more reliable decision-making tool."

"Its view into resource capacity and availability absolutely help us manage work. We can't plan out projects for delivery until we know if we have resources available to deliver them. That's been really critical. We look at our projects and see what availability of resources we have. That helps us to determine when we can start new work."

"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 most valuable feature of this solution is reporting."

"Its ability to create summary reports across multiple projects is one of the best features. They have very good data warehousing. You can put that out. You can tell that data warehousing from Planview Enterprise One is excellent."

Cons

"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management can be improved because the cost is a bit high and it is not suitable for those working on a tight budget."

"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."

"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."

"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."

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

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management cons

"I think some of the administrative aspects of it could be a little easier, especially when it comes to designing reports. The reporting coming out of it could be a little bit better."

"Our challenge will be this tool is complex. It is not necessarily easy to start and learn from the beginning. How do you get people who are not professionals to adopt it, use it, and not be mean about it?"

"The resource area needs improvement. The improvements that have been made recently in the later versions have been good improvements, but I think there are some more improvements needed there."

"Our version is definitely set up a bit more waterfall world. It would be better if some of the agile features were more in the standard product."

"Additional improvements are needed for Planview Portfolios."

"Visualization and reporting areas could use improvements by having canned reports."

"Its reporting needs to be improved. My main complaint when it comes to Planview is that it is good to maintain all the data but to actually use the information that is in it, you actually have to use a different tool. We use Power BI. So, we pull all the information, and then we use a Power BI dashboard to stage or look at the information."

"One of the reasons why we've upgraded so many times is because of performance standards. We've just run into issues where we've had performance problems. Maybe they are not upgrading, but they're adding more horsepower. Then, we do go upgrade and lose that horsepower, which is frustrating from my perspective as an admin to lose that horsepower. Hopefully, that'll change."

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."

"The solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."

"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."

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

"When we went through that process, I believe it is competitive with others on the market. However, there are less expensive options available. It's a more premium offering at a higher price."

"We are on the Flex licenses."

"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."

"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."

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

"I don't think we have necessarily purchased everything that I would have liked to have seen."

"I think all in we are at $33,000 a year and that includes Projectplace and Planview. We used to have the integration to JIRA, but we don't pay for that anymore."
