From P3 to recent version, I used this application for tracking construction projects. After setting the baseline, it is very easy to update the project, and print any report that someone may need. For example, in the company I used to work, as Project Manager consultant, I used this app to control Multi Millions dollars projects, as well as Cement Factories, Dairy Factories, even residential complex.
I always use this app to start scheduling, and then for weekly and monthly reports. So easy to play around resourcing and leveling activities.

Nachteile

Creating a baseline file is a little challenging, If you are new, you might need to redo most of your work several time.(Not as easy as MSP in correcting your files)

Vorteile

I liked the P6 in particular as a Scheduling Software as it allows me to perform additional tasks which are unable on Microsoft Project. I like the part where you can bunch a group of activities to be performed by a particular resource using a unique identification code and it can be useful on big projects where a resource just needs to know his part in the overall schedule

Nachteile

I was not happy with the software for particularly smaller projects and since there are licensing fees associated with the product it does not make sense to use it for smaller projects. Microsoft Project is a pretty decent scheduling software on its own to carry out projects and it also saves us the trouble of training people on the new software

Vorteile

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Oracle Primavera Cloud

Vorteile

I like the way it functions. The system is very stable compared to other softwares. Mainly used for scheduling and project control. Easy to see the impacts of delays and analyse them. Many tutorial available to teach the software and it is kind of straight forward

Nachteile

Oracle have not developing a lot in the past couple of years. The layout still the same and it seems like they are not listening so much to the end users. The market is going into the direction of BIM/Lean integration. Additionally, AI is making a revolution that may soon affect the roots of Oracle. So, Oracle needs to develop and look into the market and where the competitors are heading to

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera P6 is one of the best Project Scheduling tool that works on Critical path Method. I like the following features the most
- Vast integration capability with Web, EPPM, Primavera Mobile and other oracle tools
- Ability to generate large amount of data especially in the form of spreadsheet
- Fully functional Earned Value Management

Nachteile

The software UI is old style and the options are not properly organised. There are some software bugs that are still persistent and oracle has been very slow in debugging them.

Vorteile

- Great for large scale projects
- Detailed scheduling with time and cost breakdown
- Perfect filtering features
- High level resource management functionality
- Expense distribution over activity duration

Nachteile

- Graphics are not very appealing
- Jumping between tabs on the lower ribbons is very annoying compared to the tabs functionality available now on office software, and Autodesk products

Vorteile

Using critical path methodologies for project management, Primavera systems are known for their accuracy in determining how well a project's actual completion matches the plan. Primavera has evolved throughout the years, and the addition of new features and concepts has made it easier and more efficient to use, such as tracking resources and expenses and also sharing and storing updates over the cloud, making it a more versatile tool. Our capacity to share workflows, updates, and generate reports has been boosted by cloud connectivity. Primavera's inability to be tampered with ensures that the findings we receive are as accurate as possible. To begin, I prefer the Primavera process of creating work plans, creating a WBS, and then adding tasks with their associated Duration, Cost, Materials, and Human Resources (both direct and indirect). We obtain a lot of useful information when we update the programs, such as the percentage of total completion, the estimated completion date, and how long the project has been overdue or filed on time. I also appreciate the ability to use filters to narrow down the work schedule and perform the necessary calculations for only a portion of the project's activity. In addition, I like to alter the columns in order to provide more results.

Nachteile

There are two reasons why Primavera is difficult to use: First, it requires extensive training and certification. Second, it's too expensive for even large corporations to expand their membership.
Another issue is that it may appear complicated, as other Oracle systems do, due to the emphasis it places on outcomes rather than aesthetics. This can be a problem for some users, who may also be afraid to use it. If you're not an expert in Excel or other similar software, you'll have a hard time exporting and importing data from them.

Vorteile

I always rely on Primavera to handle the project management tasks of the Senior Project course I teach for undergraduate CS students. This 2 birds in one stone aspect that allows students to keep track of their project progress and involves them in a professional project management environment that they will surely need later on in their career. The main advantage of OPC is that it is a cloud-based solution that reduces a lot the cost of its use compared to the traditional Primavera P6 software. Depending on the resources available we used to alternate among using other solutions such as Microsoft Project and Monday.com. Primavera definitely is leading in the Project Management field and it aided a lot in improving the quality of the senior projects delivered in the course.

Nachteile

Two main things: (1) the cost is a bit restrictive especially in an academic setting and (2) the learning curve is a bit steep for undergraduate students to acquire in a one/two semester senior project course.

Vorteile

Vorteile

Project planning, scheduling, resource allocation, budget management, risk analysis, and reporting are just a few of the many tools that Oracle Primavera Cloud provides for project management.

Nachteile

Users that require the software to be customized to meet their unique needs may find the software's limited modification options to be bothersome.

Approval processes are easy, everything is simple. If there is ever any kind of issue it has been resolved with in moments of reaching out to tech support. I also was able to teach myself this program which is always a bonus.

Nachteile

Exporting software to other platforms is hard. for our all employee meetings it is difficult to show some processes and such with ease. A mobile platform would also be beneficial to our company

Vorteile

P6 does a great job in managing schedule for large programs and projects. P6 gets very powerful as you cost load your schedules and use data to construct reports and dashboards.

Nachteile

P6 can get pretty complicated with their functionalities. P6 can use a better printable report for schedules.

Vorteile

The software seems straight forward and easy to use. Our company used it across our whole organization for time tracking, as that was such a useful feature. There are many more components that can be used in various project collaboration, as well as customizations to the software that can be made through coding.

Nachteile

As far as using it as a time entry tool, the interface does seem a little overdone, more like a glorified spreadsheet. I sometimes get the feeling "what's all this?" when I just want to enter time.

Vorteile

The Best Project Scheduling tool on the market today. I have used it for 20 years.

Nachteile

It needs to be able to print a report that shows the Predecessors and Successors in a better format.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Vorteile

The software to easy to use. The option of tracking the actual project performance against is the baseline is one of the best features of this software.

Nachteile

Sometimes when you hit the execute button, it changes the dates which are not meant to be changed. It can be due to poor constraints defined by the user but it becomes a little irritating.

Vorteile

It allows for combined working. Managing a large schedule plan by more people at a time. The professional package is actually free. Absolutely cheaper than few other PM software.

Nachteile

Doesn't have much shortcut access. And don't have custom search for activity in a particular period or particular cost etc.
