Efficient project planning with advanced impact and delay analysis features
You need to have a good understanding of project management before you build programs using P6. 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

"We use the ticketing system primarily, which is very easy to use for all users."
"Freshservice's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"Its ease of use is fantastic. It is just above and beyond, especially when you compare it to something like Cherwell, Salesforce, or anything like that. It is on its own level. It is so easy to administer. The way everything is organized and the way it builds its own documentation is very good."
"It allows for customization and offers a broad feature set."
"The solution facilitates a transition from an organizational structure that is function-based to a process-oriented approach."
"The solution has been stable."
"The solution has been very helpful engineering insights into the client's environment. We have been able to manage calls and incidence very efficiently which provides us with a clear understanding of the system warranty and the actions that we might need to take in terms of insights. The system is very dynamic and prevents any kind of over sides which is yours that there is smooth contract management. Also we can easily uphold SLAs and deliver enhanced services without breaching any agreements."
"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."

Cons

"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."
"Asset management can definitely be improved because it doesn't pick up every single device on the network or every single piece of information."
"Asset management can definitely be improved because it doesn't pick up every single device on the network or every single piece of information. Some manual information still needs to be entered."
"Some of the ways that tasks are reported on and shown can be better. You can't see tasks in your regular ticket list view. You can't see a combo view of tasks and tickets. It is a little bit difficult to get a solid overview of your list of things to do. You can only see them in separate views, instead of one single view."
"They can improve the search. While searching the inventory, when I cancel a selected category, the search box disappears, and I have to reload the page. It is a small glitch. Currently, we can have only one plan per subscription. All users have to be on the same plan. We can't have two users for plan A and five users for plan B. It might be good if there was an option to have different plans within one subscription so that you can assign each agent to the corresponding plan."
"We haven't had any issues with the stability of Freshservice. However, we have had some issues with data imports, we have noticed that large amounts of data can get stuck. This is something that we haven't seen in other solutions."
"On the reporting side, when we were doing reporting, one thing that was a bit of a limitation was when you had a data list containing a list of changes that have occurred for the whole time and you had to fit the list onto a page. If the list went over the page, it would just truncate it at the page. You wouldn't get all your data. So, it didn't work. That was one big stand-out for me. What we tended to do was convert things into a more readable format, and then we had more targeted exception reporting, but it would be nice to have a full list of things that could be automatically generated and that can flow over pages."
"You can't implement a complicated delivery workflow. We don't have the same problems with incident and change workflows. It's only for delivery workflow. They have a mechanism for modifying your incident or change workflow. There's a visual interface for that, so there's no reason not to have the same function for request management."
"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."
"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."
"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshservice price is competitive, it is not more than other solutions on the market."
"One of the key benefits of Freshservice is license management. Asset management has the possibility to keep track of licenses and that's very useful. The price of the solution is very good."
"The solution has an annual licensing model."
"It was a middle tier. It wasn't an expensive one. It was a tier model usage. Licensing costs varied between admin users and regular users."
"Compared to other tools, Freshservice is affordable."
"The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/month."
"I can't recall exactly how much we pay, but it is somewhere in the middle compared to the rest of the market. The more we purchase, the cheaper it becomes, and I think the solution offers good value for money."
"Its price is great. Its pricing is supposedly a lot less than ServiceNow and other alternatives."
"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."
"The solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."
