Nitro Productivity Suite vs Oracle Primavera Submittal Exchange

Likelihood to Recommend

Nitro is well suited for the common tasks we use like include viewing and editing. The redaction tool is very useful when sharing documents with sensitive information. The downfall is we still must use Adobe Acrobat on occasion. Some PDFs will not open, view, or print properly in Nitro.

[Oracle Primavera Submittal Exchange] is very easy to train new users on it and have everyone on the same page. The daily reminder emails can be a pain but if there are documents needed from a trade it is a great way to remind the the it is in their ball of court to act accordingly and get the documents uploaded because there might be other trades waiting on them.

Cons

The font choices could be better and more robust.
Sometimes converting PDF documents to MS Word has formatting problems, like with some tables.
Converting MS Word to PDF can be slow sometimes, meaning it is faster to save the MS Word document as a PDF than selecting the file for conversion using the Nitro PDF convert option.

Nitro checks all the boxes for what we need. It is fairly priced, it allows us to read and edit PDF documents, convert PDF to MS Word and convert MS Word to PDF. It allows us to combine multiple files and do all the post processing like adding page numbers and adding headers and footers

Return on Investment

ROI was very quick as the license costs were so low. We purchased 8 licenses versus the initial 2 we were planning on for Adobe.
More people were able to use the product than we initially thought due to low purchase costs.
We haven't had any further costs to own the product after the initial purchase. We would need to purchase new licenses if we wanted to upgrade.

It has allowed us to manage our submittals better and get the back in a timely manner to schedule projects accordingly and keep the flow going.
It can be a little time consuming to get the project data entered but if done right, it is worth it.
