"The new UX is great because it has helped remove some of those barriers, so that people who are not classically trained project managers can easily get up to speed in using the tool without having to learn a whole other tool set. It's very intuitive, and very collaborative, and very easy to adapt to their existing work styles."
"It is very intuitive. Even if you do not have training documents or anything, you can start feeling your way around pretty easily."
"It has highlighted areas in our company that were deficient in resources. It has allowed us to hire, then realize more benefits regarding the number of projects we can get done."
"Being able to track all of the projects with all of the details of those projects, and being able to move projects along from a process perspective, that is really beneficial."
"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects."
"The new UI makes it easier for people to go in there and know what to do. To train people, it's faster, more intuitive."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the XFlow, that interface is pretty cool."
"It is allowing us to keep track of what our projects are doing, and the idea module, what projects are coming into the pipeline."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"One of the things that have always been a bit painful is the integration with reporting utilities. The current integration is with Jaspersoft, and there are a number of difficulties with that. If you're using out-of-the-box fields and everything, it is a bit slow and clunky. It has a drag-and-drop interface for the users. On the backend side, there is a report designer. They haven't given or allowed me any training on it yet. So, it has been a bit limited in its features. On one of the earlier report utilities, they had one called Actuate, which had VBA as its base programming language, and you could do quite dynamic things behind the scenes, whereas the Jaspersoft interface seems rather locked. So, you're limited in your options. Being a programmer, you like to have room to be able to invent and create rather than just being limited to a few selection boxes."
"There are some tool limitations. We had to create some of our own summary competencies to create more of an agile tool concept, or an agile team concept, that they did not really have."
"They need something so that if we, say, send some sheets to users, or for the scenario where not everybody has access to Clarity, but are part of planning; those people should be able to upload data directly to Clarity."
"The integration needs to be improved with Jaspersoft and Microsoft Project."
"The forms (e.g., project properties page) need to be more attractive, colorful, and field more flexibility for validations."
"Could be using more updated technologies."
"In terms of what could be improved, the end user interface could be improved to be more intuitive, because we sometimes have issues with customization. Sometimes we are not able to customize everything for the end user's interface, and they require more customization. We should be able to perform a deeper customization here."
"One of the areas that we would improve upon is not necessarily with the tool, but having more tips/tricks on adoption. How to get people outside of the PMO to use the tool and get the information."
"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 solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
