Featured Reviews

Neeraj Chaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Aligns with agile frameworks for streamlined project management
User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive. Additionally, a lot of querying and customization is needed for reporting. If there could be some templates out of the box, it would be helpful. Making the report creation process faster and easier with drag-and-drop features would be beneficial.
ManeshGeorge - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The most valuable feature is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"We use Jira Portfolio in our organization for issue tracking and task management. We had many projects. We didn't use it much for forecasting, but we did use it a bit for release planning by assigning tasks to releases. We didn't use it for project management or scenario planning; we just used it for tasks."
"The documentation is very well done."
"With JIRA, you can do amazing things by developing connectors, embedding features, and adding new fields to create new things."
"It is a good scalable solution that I have used for small projects and reasonably large projects."
"Managing product development and managing inter-team communications are also valuable features."
"What I like about the product is its extensive features, particularly the wide set of attributes for tracking issues. Jira Portfolio allows us to track not only the overall project but also specific components within it. This is beneficial for all stakeholders, including developers and business owners. For example, business stakeholders can track all issues, regardless of status."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"Delay analysis and extension of time claims are some of the key features."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"It is very, very good in planning for large projects."
"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

"JIRA Portfolio's configuration management could be improved."
"An improvement would be if Portfolio were integrated with Office 365."
"User experience should be more intuitive. Currently, it's not that intuitive."
"When using a scrum board, it only shows the current or open sprint. However, we also need to see past and future sprints, which is important for planning the next sprint. To solve this, we tried using a Kanban board instead, but since we follow the Scrum methodology, it's not the ideal solution."
"The tool needs to improve its speed and response time."
"Some key features like integration, big data warehousing and data modeling need work."
"As there are no perfect solutions and considering that I rate JIRA Portfolio's stability an eight out of ten, I feel it is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We are using the on-premise deployment, but it is slower and not as easy to manage as the cloud version."
"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 a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."
"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."
"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a six."
"We only have nine people using it so we have a standard cost of $150 dollar per year. There are only additional costs if you exceed the limit of users, then you start paying by user. The cost is significantly higher."
"I use the free version for personal use."
"We have a license to use JIRA Portfolio, we are not using the free version."
"When we first got the tool, it cost 3,000 euros a year for unlimited users, which was a great deal. But the prices kept going up over the years. I'm not involved with pricing anymore, but I heard they increased a lot, so we decided to stop using it."
"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."
"The solution itself is cost-effective."
"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."
