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 solution is very stable."
"It is a good scalable solution that I have used for small projects and reasonably large projects."
"The product's integration capabilities work pretty well, especially considering that more tools are always needed in enterprise-sized businesses."
"The feature that we like the most is that JIRA enables modules. Atlassian provides a lot of products around JIRA, such as compliance for the documentation, BitBucket for the Git version. We are new to these products developed by Atlassian, but they can integrate very easily. Generally, when an editor is developing a solution, they think about integrating with JIRA. When we are looking for any other solution, they plan to easily integrate with JIRA."
"The most valuable feature is that it fits very well into an agile framework, and it is especially helpful with the planning aspects."
"The status update function is the most valuable feature."
"Has good analysis integration capabilities."
"JIRA Portfolio has many wonderful features."
"Delay analysis and extension of time claims are some of the key features."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"The integration with Unifier, which is also an Oracle tool, ensures that the data is correct and timely."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"It is very, very good in planning for large projects."
"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
 

Cons

"n the next version I would like to see better reporting and safer plugins, as well as easier scalability."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"JIRA and Confluence must be linked automatically."
"JIra is very poor at reporting."
"The kanban board could also use some more filters. We just had a project where the deployment for Jira didn't have any ETA, and it's a requirement for the client. We accommodate a lot of issues on the board, so the workaround was to create boards by project, not client."
"Requires some effort to insert functionalities and that could be simplified."
"Their interface is a little unique and I think that's partly because the core of the product has morphed into several sub-products, but the underlying architecture has stayed the same on all of them in that it was originally a help desk ticketing system. It's a very tech-focused product and that's fair given its origins, but if they really want to expand their community of users, then they're going to have to move beyond that a little bit and polish it up."
"It would be nice if it could provide an end-to-end solution for a project."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"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."
"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate JIRA Portfolio a five out of ten for its pricing."
"Given the solution’s significant functionality, benefits, and value, you get more than you pay for."
"Portfolio is very expensive, costing on average $2000-3000 per user per month."
"The solution is offered at a high cost"
"The product is really not very expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The pricing of the solution is expensive."
"The price is reasonable"
"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."
"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 is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."
