Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am currently a system administrator for Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management on a government contract. It is the primary tool within the agency, robust in ability, but a bit limited in user friendly feel and ease of use. It offers the client the ability to manage all levels or portfolio management, such as financials, deliverables, resources, workflows, document management, and much more. For the backend user, sql and javascript knowledge is essential, but not mandatory, as the built in help does allow the novice developer to get by.
Pros and Cons
  • CAC authentication is required in my arena, and OPPM can work in conjunction with a secondary application to allow for this added layer of security.
  • Allows for security/permissions by customizable roles via user types and user groups. This keeps users in check with only certain abilities to edit or read, etc...
  • All kinds of abilities to build custom reports, as well as built in. Export formats include: CSV, Excel, PPT, Word. Customers like reports, and OPPM does a good job at its offerings.
  • Visual aids such as charts and graphs offer some eye appeal. This is useful for presentations, for depicting data.
  • Has the ability to offer document storage via attachment. Attaching supporting documents is a must with portfolio management.
  • We are in a portable age, but OPPM is not an option for use on mobile devices.
  • OPPM workflow is not extensive compared to other products, only offering linear ability.
  • Front-end is fairly vanilla with few clicks and clean interface. Due to limited browser support, users often have difficulties when browsers upgrade or settings are changed.
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a utilitarian product of a yesteryear gone by. It's straightforward and to the point. It is well suited for a customer base who is not interested in frills, portability, or a multitude of OOTB ability. It's for those who like to restrict and manage all control over users, code in queries, functions, and create customized reports for end users. It does what it does very well however, just do not expect it to be pretty. It's a 2007 product, so curb your excitement. It does handle all aspects of portfolio management well; financials, budgeting, spend plans, contracts, projects, staffing, workflows, etc... however, it is not intuitive to navigate, and will require some training.
Return on Investment
  • OPPM utilizes investor maps and dashboards so you can see you portfolio and optimize your ROI.
  • Time is valuable, and workflows help speed along the approval process within our organization.
  • Configuring investor maps, dashboards, and workflows, does take some time, can be a bit clunky, and requires planning.
Alternatives Considered
I did not select Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management. It was an inherent application. Having used other applications, compared to those, Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management is a far superior tool for portfolio management. However, in the span of the last 10 years, there are newer, perhaps better products available. Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management does still manage to get the job done, but its time in the sun is fading.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Oracle Primavera across several business units to plan and forecast our project activities, durations, progress, and resources. It is used to identify delays in the project.
Pros and Cons
  • Critical Path Methodology will identify potential issues in on time completion if activities move.
  • A resources loaded schedule can accurately forecast % complete and staffing requirements.
  • Coding allows easy group, sort, and filtering when reporting to certain business units out of the same file.
  • Reporting functions and graphs are basic. We dump the data from Primavera to Excel. In my experience most companies have this practice.
  • Import/export functions need greater options.
  • Risk module needed instead of secondary software.
Likelihood to Recommend
Primavera is well suited for any size projects. The only time I can see it being less appropriate is when the cost of the software and maintenance agreement add significantly to the overall cost. Smaller projects could use a cheaper tool to get the job done depending on level of detail the client is looking for.
Return on Investment
  • Manage project successfully.
  • Identify and mitigate delays earlier.
  • Resource staffing in a timely manner for upcoming work.
Alternatives Considered
Primavera allows several users to work in a single file at the same time. This allows the team to develop and update the project schedule for reporting much faster. Also, the user can see updates that effect logically link activities in the future easily. MS Project does not.
