What is our primary use case?
I think Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective. With the product's user interface and from an end user's perspective, it is a very complicated tool, especially for those in the early stages of their profession involved in project management.
What is most valuable?
In terms of operation management and project management, the product needs to have a lot of functions to work together to get the right results you need for the project. The solution's interface should be able to track changes and the implementation time. Basically, we need many tools in our company, among which Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a time planning tool for us, and maybe, in some cases, we use it for the Gantt chart.
What needs improvement?
The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement.
I would like more additional functions added to the solution in future releases.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management for a few weeks. I don't remember the exact version of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability can be measured when you use something a lot of times or maybe continuously, but I didn't use the solution for a long period, so I can't judge the solution's stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is not a scalable solution.
I and one of my colleagues were the ones involved with the solution in our company.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is complex.
The solution can be deployed in an hour.
I don't think that those who are entry-level users who use computers can do the deployment alone. Advanced users who are used to using or installing the solution by themselves can do the solution's deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management, my company had evaluated only three products.
What other advice do I have?
I won't recommend the solution to the staff at my company because I know how it can hinder their work since they will spend a lot of time trying to figure out what they can do with the solution. Some people are satisfied with the solution since they are used to it. Personally, I would not recommend the solution to others.
I rate the overall solution a three and a half out of ten.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
