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.

Senior Consultant Cybersecurity at KPMG

Easy to set up and use, facilitates collaboration, and the technical support responds quickly to issues

The most valuable feature is the collaboration with other teams. It allows me to see an overview of the entire project, helping to estimate how much time and effort I have to dedicate to specific sections. The risk management feature is one that I find very good. Right from the initial steps, we found this product easy to use. The logging features are good.

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 features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."

"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."

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

"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."

"The solution's tech support is good."

"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management pros

"Planview Projectplace is a really good solution for document sharing and keeping track of the history of changes in the document. I also like that you can have everything you need for a project in one place, for example, for documentation, planning, and even resource planning."

"The most useful features of Planview are its integration with resource management and the ability to commit and reserve various resources."

"Right from the initial steps, we found this product easy to use."

"Clarizen's slide publisher is one of my favorite features."

"Projectplace absolutely supports collaboration in real-time. It's probably one of the best tools out there for collaboration. It affects the project's progress quite a bit. I have started two very similar projects in two separate business units, on very similar teams. I did one with Enterprise One, I did one with Projectplace just to see how the mileage would vary. The one with Projectplace had a very short cycle time so we were able to finish the project earlier. The one with Enterprise One was less engaging and it took a little more time. Because we were tracking the tasks inside the schedule it was not on the cards."

"Projectplace has excellent collaboration features, including some nice kanban boards. We use DocuSign, and Planview just integrated it into Projectplace, so that was helpful. And I like the fact that it links to Enterprise One, the other Planview tool that we use to manage our capital portfolio."

"The workspace ease, navigation, and portfolios are the most valuable aspects of this solution. I just got access to the portfolios from my upper management, so I'm able to look at our specific SRE portfolio to see what's a priority, look at how many hours we've tracked, and things like that. I'm not so much included in the budgeting but it's important to see what projects are higher priority and so forth."

"It is a complete solution. It is very useful for the management of our internal processes."

Cons

"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."

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

"The scalability has room for improvement."

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

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

More Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management cons

"It is not easy. The deployment of the application and its functionalities are not easy. It is a complex process to create accounts, names, and catalogs."

"In terms of what could be improved in Planview Projectplace, it would depend on the purpose, because if you talk about resource planning, from my perspective, it's not the best tool. It would also depend on the company itself, for example, I've been working with another company and Planview Projectplace was needed more for workload and resource planning purposes, and I don't think the solution covered those purposes well. Its resource planning and workload functions need improvement."

"If the mobile app were improved to show more information then it would be good."

"I believe that the graphs, reporting, and connection with the slides are areas that need improvement."

"We'd like to see a heartier connection between Projectplace and Enterprise One. We know that's on their roadmap, but they haven't gotten there yet. Planview could also make better use of Projectplace's template capability."

"The time reporting is an excellent feature that they can show from an individual. The only problem I see is the description field. You can't increase that field, like to pull the column and widen the column that I've seen. I'm not seeing anywhere you could do that. Because you may have some of these cards that start with the same name and you only have so much real estate. There should be a way to adjust those columns somewhat so you can look at the description or hover over it and it tells you what the description is."

"The reporting end of it needs improvement. There should be more reporting, more data at your fingertips. It should be easier and a little more user-friendly. I know there is some there, but it's just how do you get more meat on the bones, if you will, of what's available."

"Planview is a resource management and project management system. Projectplace allows you to create boards and associate some of Planview's work breakdown structure as a top-level tree under which you can place cards, but there are many limitations because when you make a change in Planview, it is reflected in Projectplace. However, except for a few specific things, changes made in Projectplace are not ported back to Planview. At this point, they're two completely different products. The flaw is that there is very little integration between the two."

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."

"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 solution is highly priced compared to one of its competitors."

"The cost of this product is mid-range. It's not too expensive but not the cheapest on the market."

"It can be expensive, but if you see the functionalities and the processes, it's not as expensive as other applications. We pay about 1 million Mexican Pesos per year for all 100 licenses."

"I would say the licensing maturity was probably a three out of five. They have a long way to go before they can scale out and retain enterprise customers."

"I think the price of Projectplace is highly reasonable for the amount of functionality that you get. We have what they call a FLEX License. That means you get Projectplace, Enterprise One, and Leankits all on the same license. That's great because then you can use the other products without any additional cost."

"In my opinion, the pricing is reasonable."

"I believe it is a good value for money for the service they provide and the tailored program. When compared to Microsoft Project."
