It helps us track progress and results
I work for an engineering and construction company that uses Primavera for project planning and management. We use it in specific projects when clients request it.  Primavera helps us track project progress and results.  I like Primavera's planning capabilities.  Primavera could be better…

Capably brings single source of truth to enterprise project portfolio management; provides consequential, flexible data display with effective visualizations;integrated use of Agile, Kanban, Jira
7.04 improved documents management to centralize communications among project users and stakeholders. Because the documents are included in each Planisware environment/configuration, messaging and documents associated with projects are easier to access than being spread through normal corporate email. Planisware stores project related documents and messages in a single database. Snapshots (backups) at a given point in time are easy to make and restore to alternate environments, even on an automated nightly basis. Program and project roadmaps integrate well with PowerPoint. Slide elements are editable and dynamically linked (if so specified) to detail projects. Capability to drill down into project specifics is mature, native functionality. Strategic Portfolio module offers an OKR page (objectives and key results) to connect specific company strategy with defined measurable actions. Knowledge findability and sharing concerning Planisware implementation, deployment, and problem resolution receive very modest peripheral attention and low priority from Planisware for customer access. By way of contrast, internal Planisware consultants-employees have open access to technical discussions and strategies that individual customers are forbidden to use for fear of violating confidentiality agreements. When an organization is prepared to pay Planisware consultants premium hourly fees, they will create, identify, and/or filter an answer.

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 feature of Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is accuracy."
"I like Primavera's planning capabilities."
"The solution's tech support is good."
"The ability to streamline the process of obtaining signatures from our contractors is valuable."
"We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."
"Overall, our company has all disintegrated systems, and with Planisware, we are getting a very integrated view of my portfolio reporting, cost and load, and everything else."
"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."
"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."
"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."
"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."
 

Cons

"They should work on integrating the solution with ERP."
"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."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."
"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."
"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."
"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."
"More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration."
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It comes with a high cost."
"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."

"There are training and certification costs."
