Featured Reviews

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.
Ariel Lindenfeld - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable labels and the ability to modify cards streamline task management and save time
There can be bugs sometimes. When more than one person tries to edit the description at the same time, it can do some unexpected things. I would like to see that improved. Sometimes they add new features, which can be either welcome or odd. More control over email notifications would also be helpful.

"The integration with Unifier, which is also an Oracle tool, ensures that the data is correct and timely."
"Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a well-engineered product from an IT perspective."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"The most valuable features were the cost breakdown structure and work breakdown structure."
"We found that the solution was available on multiple devices, has a great user experience, is simple to use, and it is available on multiple channels."
"All the features are valuable but the data extraction is extremely helpful for automation."
"Just being able to manage tasks very easily is one of the best features Trello offers."

Cons

"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."
"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"There is scope for development in integrating with some AI products."
"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 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."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline."
"Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent."
"It is not a scalable product."
"It could have a bit more customization, especially for organizations that may want to integrate it into their own systems."
"The product is not easy to use."
"We cannot link tasks that are dependent on each other."
"The mobile version of Trello can be improved upon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"We pay $10 per user per month for the product."
"The product is cheap."
"We are currently using the open-source option."
"The pricing starts from around $6 per license for a subscription, and there might be higher subscriptions available, possibly around $12 per month."
"I do believe that Trello has a licensed version, but I used the free version of the tool with limited capabilities."
"Paying for the solution's license is worth it only if our enterprise or organization can use Trello, integrated with some other solution, and we can have good reports."
"It is free."
"The free version of Trello covers all of the bases and all of our needs, so there's no cost involved for us. This is surprising for such a quality platform with no limitations on the key functionalities, though it also has a paid version."
