Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management and Planview Daptiv are competing products in the project portfolio management category. Research indicates that Planview Daptiv holds a notable edge due to its superior suite of features, despite Oracle Primavera's favorable pricing and support.

Features: Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management includes comprehensive project planning, advanced resource management capabilities, and risk analysis tools. Planview Daptiv focuses on flexibility with customizable workflows and strong integration capabilities. Primavera offers depth in project analytics, while Daptiv provides broader integration options, which makes it more adaptable to diverse organizational needs.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Primavera could enhance its user interface for a more intuitive experience and reduce deployment complexity.

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.

Do not be afraid to migrate to cloud solutions

I started using Daptiv PPM at SAP R/3, 22 module implementation, with over 80 functional team members, in different geographic locations. It definitely gave us the opportunity to centralize all schedules per module and assemble work teams for each subproject, binding them with co-dependent tasks in other modules. This type of tool allowed us to finish the back office stage just a week behind the original baseline, a real record for SAP R/3 implementation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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."

"The solution's tech support is good."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."

"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."

"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."

"Delay analysis and extension of time claims are some of the key features."

"It is very, very good in planning for large projects."

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management pros

"I like the reporting engine, IBM Cognos, especially the analytics. That's a good tool. It's quite strong on the ideation and capacity-planning side, which is a huge plus."

"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."

"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."

"The powerful collaboration is definitely the most valuable and the fact that you can adjust flexibility to almost any methodology, and the easy creation of complete new functionalities without programming code."

"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."

Cons

"There is a need for improvement in the interfacing and possibly better integration with other programs."

"The reporting could improve project management. We need multiple source reports. If someone is new to the support it has a steep learning curve."

"Primavera could be better integrated with other products, and it needs more cost management features."

"The solution's user interface is an area with shortcomings that need improvement."

"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."

"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."

"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management cons

"The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance."

"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."

"Expense management, simulation scenarios, and budget control could be great and useful features to include."

"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."

"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"My company has made an annual payment towards the costs of the solution. Price-wise, the solution is okay."

"The solution itself is cost-effective."

"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."

"It's a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
