Oracle Primavera Cloud Reviews

They are BIG and have been around for along time. This means there is a tremendous amount of support documentation they provide as well as user/administrator forums and notes.

Oracle products in general are a bit more expensive than other similar applications and their support is always extra.

Easy to learn and use. Great for reporting and managing big sets of data by all attributes.

Import and export functions is kind of basic, it would be more useful if there are greater options.

Great scheduling software for construction
Easy to work with
Great reporting
Able to integrate with other programs

Still windows based
It was purchased by Oracle so the licensing costs have gone up
Program has some weird quirks and requires fixes from time-to-time

The ability to build huge and complex schedules. P6 has been the construction scheduling standard for a while now. The ability handle the thousands of activities in a large project and adjust to the constant changes of the construction industry.

Primavera P6 is not an easy software package to learn and it is not very cheap. You get out what you put into the software and the skills it takes to learn it.

What I like most about Oracle is that it is a very secure software that allows very sensitive information to remain protected.

It isn't as easy to reset your username and password as other sites, but that just secures the software more.

This software is an industry standard in construction and is very applicable. There are now more interfaces with other programs.

The software does have a learning curve and much of it is beyond daily use. It would be easier if they had a preliminary module that could then be added to.

Relationship Assign Between Two Different Aactivity , Vast numbers Of Resources and Segeration , Resources leveling and Allocation

Details of things that can Be Added is Very vast, There is Need to Work More on User Interface, Strictly Need to Follow Steps to Create Activity

Very robust product. Lots of features. The client is very performant.

Very difficult to learn up front, but once I learned the ropes, very powerful.

Essential tool to manage projects
Great visualization tool to see the work flow
Helps to track activities which leads to delays and plan resources accordingly.

Not user friendly.
Becomes cubmorseme with large projects which has several activities

Makes it easy to schedule projects and lots of added functionalities like resource loading

The software is a little complex as compared to competitors and expensive

I used this software as a project engineer in construction management on a $2 billion+ project. This software was great on the financial side. It separated everything down to the most minute details, and allowed for detailed tracking.

The process to submit RFIs and other documents was long and overly complicated. It does make it easier on the financial side, but makes it more difficult and time-consuming at every other step, in my opinion.

This software can cater multiple tasks and projects with a great detail. Highly recommended for large scale projects

I had difficulty in the initial installation of the software for people like me with an average IT know how. It has steep learning curve and there are features that you dont need when you are using it for a small business.

Very easy to use. Backed by legendary Oracle performance Functions as described.

Has a bit of a learning curve. But I did like the interface.

Primavera offers the best in class project management tools for project planning, scheduling and almost everything you'd want when in comes to managing a project of any magnitude.

Unless your firm gives proper weightage to the soft tools required for proper planning and execution of projects, Primavera is going to come as a somewhat expensive option.

It is very friendly and understandable with all inbuild features for my needs and my clients requirements.

Support and workflow of the software is good but limited to user level and we can scale our needs as per license usage

Flexible, Scalable, Intuitive and market tested.

To maximize the value, it's best you partner with a partner.

Primavera is the widely used modern world project management tool which is famous among Civil Engineers. The software allows to create planning, scheduling of all the different resource types such as materials, labour and whatever the scale of the project, it will create a comprehensive schedule to maximize the profits by minimizing overheads.

Primavera is a very sophisticated but complex software. If you are just starting your journey with the software mastering it will take some time. When I was new, it took me like 2 months to get familiar with the tools in my hand. But when you pass that frame of window, this is the only tool you ever need for project planning.

It is driven by data, which is good as long as you feed it the correct information. It is pretty simple and easy to use.

There are not a lot of additional benefits. It would be nice if it had graphics, or other newer-age technology uses.

- very powerful and have different features,
- it's oldest and well know in the industry
- owned by one of giant company Oracle, so the product will continue, once you know how to your knowledge will not be obsolete.

- unlike other project management software it's not user friendly, so you have to learn the software probably it would take some time
- expansive

Features of the product

Difficult to grasp the first couple of tries.

The most versatile product for project management. Tons and tons of option with Gantt charts, can virtually manage endless projects under one program. Super product.

Installation is one heck of a job. While installing the data base for the product and configuring the same you always ask yourself, why am I using this product. I can use some other product as well.

If you are considering this product for a construction company, it is useful to handle complex projects with many data contacts and files. Very large companies can use this to their advantage because it has many features that can be set and streamlined nicely.

The product is really expensive. I would say that if you are a smaller company, this isn't going to work for your price point. It also has a lot of complexity, so if you are going to just pay to get it and not use it to its full potential, it's not a good investment. To have an expert that specializes in training and using this product to it's full potential (give them a minimum of 6 months to dig in full time) will give you the best return on investment for implementing this product.
