Project teams have improved collaboration and have delivered complex portfolios on time
The best features Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management offers include a great user experience, as Oracle has invested heavily in user experience. The application is intuitive and user-friendly, and it also includes project budgeting, cost capitalization, expenses, embedded analytics, and data visualizations that come built-in with the software. The embedded analytics and data visualizations in Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management specifically help us make data-driven decisions from the accurate insights gathered from different sources. Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management has positively impacted my organization by increasing predictability. It has brought awareness to the executive level with the ability to integrate with other systems, which is flawless and seamless, thus enhancing collaboration in my organization. We have been able to deliver projects on time to our clients, meeting the deadlines and timelines while also hitting the cost timelines. The use of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management has increased the odds of timely project delivery through efficient tracking. The software supports mobile and tablets with a modern user interface featuring embedded analytics, enabling project team members to access all their tools and information in our organization. The efficiency of project managers has increased, allowing them to manage multiple projects and thereby lowering the cost by approximately thirty percent.

Excellent portfolio management SaaS - strategy, savings, visibility
I haven't used the product for over a year, so this could be out of date but entering information was somewhat cumbersome. PPM systems in general are a challenge to keep populated with current information. The business priority of portfolio visibility must be communicated to users and reinforced that the project doesn't exist unless it's updated in the system.
