Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management

Oracle Primavera is the best software in the market used to track construction projects. Like most applications from Oracle, Primavera comes with rich functionality. Customers have the option to use the features which suit them and ignore the rest. Oracle has by far the largest suite of applications, catering to various facets of the Enterprise. Primavera comes with various dashboards, which help project teams stay on track.
  • Oracle has invested heavily in user experience. The Primavera application is intuitive and user-friendly.
  • Collaboration among the project teams can be enhanced with an integrated social network, where users can share documents and tag comments.
  • Project budgeting, costs, capitalization, expenses, embedded analytics, and data visualizations come in built-in with the software.
  • The software is high end with rich features, hence its rich price.
  • There is room for improvement in their customer service.
  • Oracle is doing its best in coming up with new features, and has a planned roadmap. It would be good if the enhancements are delivered faster.
  • The use of Primavera will increase the odds of timely project delivery through efficient tracking.
  • The software is mobile and tablet friendly with a modern user interface with embedded analytics. This way project team members can access all the tools and information at construction sites.
  • The efficiency of project managers will increase and multiple projects can be managed by them, thereby lowering labor costs.
We use Oracle ERP and are happy with it. We have long-standing relationship with Oracle and our workforce is well versed with it. We wanted a high-end scalable software for construction projects and Primavera fits the bill. Payment systems like Textura can be easily integrated with Primavera.
Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management has high security and comes with role-based access control. It has all the features of a comprehensive project management software like a work break down structure, Gantt charts, dashboards, business process automation, resource allocation, and analysis. The software is scalable for any number of projects. The project outcome can be improved by the use of Primavera as it will optimise resource allocation. However, this software is on the high end of pricing and not a cheap alternative.
