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

It has most comprehensive project management features, robust scheduling capabilities, real-time updates, collaboration tools, and integration options

Nachteile

The learning curve for Oracle Primavera Cloud to be a bit steep, particularly for new users who are not familiar with complex project management software.

Vorteile

There is a option to view n number of projects at a time with progress comparison

Nachteile

Initial loading takes a bot longer time.

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

Oracle Primavera Cloud is the leader in project planning, it includes all functions and features of project management like planning, scheduling, analysis, and reports. in addition, they made the cloud copy plus mobile access.

Nachteile

Oracle Primavera Cloud is expensive for small and medium businesses, it's targeted for large companies. and it's not easy to learn.

Vorteile

The support on various Accounting platform integration and the stability of it's Mobile Access is amazing and the project document management this Oracle solution is the best choice.

Nachteile

Easy customization of various features on this Oracle product and I never experienced any error using this software.

Vorteile

The feature that I love the most is the budget Tracker and time management. These are the 2 most important ones on the app that I use. It helps keep yo with the weekly an daily expenses.

Nachteile

Sometimes the only issue that I might have is it taking too long to load up sometimes but other than that i have had bo other issues.

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.

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

This is the most modern and broader project management platform in the market, still combining very powerful and some unique tools

Nachteile

This is still a young tool, and of course still has features that are currently under fast development

Vorteile

It has a bunch of functionality and can track very complex schedules which has many moving parts. It is really good if you have a project that has multiple partners to keep track of

Nachteile

It is rather sophisticated in it's functionality. Program knowledge is easily lost if you do not use it for a while.

Vorteile

In project management tool this is the only trustable tool to plan and scheduled project activities as per the clearance dates and bounded activities linked with other services. Really helpful to prepare and execution of baseline program

Nachteile

The is the most useful tool available for project management and planning and it really time saving so there is nothing to dislike

Vorteile

They are BIG and have been around for along time. This means there is a tremendous amount of support documentation they provide as well as user/administrator forums and notes.

Nachteile

Oracle products in general are a bit more expensive than other similar applications and their support is always extra.

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera is the best software currently available for project management work in Civil Engineering Industry. Primavera is a very powerful tool to prepare project programs aligning labor and resources for a successful completion. Primavera helps to make effective decision making at the correct time to increase the efficiency of the project. Presentation of results are very clear and at a high quality level. System is based on a cloud so everybody can have the access and work for the greater good.

Nachteile

Software is complex for a beginner and it takes time to get familiar with the system. It is little difficult to what went wrong when you don't get the results you expected. I had to re do few programs from the beginning since I couldn't find what went wrong. Once an activity is changed, it cannot be simply undone.

Vorteile

P6 is utilized industry wide in construction, so becoming familiar with it provides all the tools you need to generate and analyze schedules.

It's very robust in the amount of things you can do with schedules. You can modify the relationships, type of activities, durations, calendar settings, views.

Provides the ability to export data to excel, which is useful when analyzing schedule delays and performance.

Nachteile

It's not too user-friendly software. Since it operates as a database and does not work like Microsoft or Apple software (because it isn't) but it sort of looks like it, it's easy to believe it operates in the same way as software you are used to using, but it's fundamentally different. One example is how projects are "saved", which is not as straightforward as saving and/or copying files. There's more to it.

P6 is rather rigid in that it's for the most part limited to Gantt charts. It has other views but they do't provide much value.

One improvement the software could do would be to add flowline diagram features for producing and visualizing schedules.

Vorteile

I am a project manager for a large commercial construction company and use Primavera for my schedules. I switched from Microsoft Project doing my schedules and have not looked back. Primavera is much more intuitive and simply laid out than M-project. I did not like on Microsoft project that when I wanted to change it to a PDF none of the views looked good for the end-user. Primavera has a much better looking end-user version and easier to make one when you are done with the schedule.

As far as making the schedule it is pretty easy to do with predecessors and the timeline. You can have it that you won't start framing until the slab is poured. That way when you go back and have to update the slab pour for earlier or later, then it will automatically update the rest of the schedule that is dependant on the slab. If you need to go back to Microsoft project you can easily convert the file into a project type file for use. I would definitely give Primavera a shot if you are a project manager and need scheduling software.

Nachteile

My only complaint is I wish there was more of a drag and drop type system versus of an excel type feel. This software is very similar to project and so if you know how to do project you will pick this up quickly. I just wish it wasn't so much feeling in cells though. Other than that it is easy to use and I recommend it.

Vorteile

We can easily create activity with required input. We can easily monitor our progress and can make necessary decisions timely. We can forecast future delays and mitigate risks.

Nachteile

Premium for this software is considerably high. Some of the outputs from this software leads confusions and
questioned on reliability

Vorteile

I used Oracle software for 6+ years and I felt very comfortable with the software from the beginning. It wasn't hard to navigate and understand and made my everyday use of the program helpful and efficient.

Nachteile

I was not the purchaser of the product, however, I was told it was a bit expensive.

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

We use P6 at our company to create the construction schedules. It's easy to use and allows sequencing of operations for every job.

Nachteile

Training is needed, a beginner could not learn on their own. For easier access we might use a more simple scheduling alternative for our team.

Vorteile

Primavera is the widely used modern world project management tool which is famous among Civil Engineers. The software allows to create planning, scheduling of all the different resource types such as materials, labour and whatever the scale of the project, it will create a comprehensive schedule to maximize the profits by minimizing overheads.

Nachteile

Primavera is a very sophisticated but complex software. If you are just starting your journey with the software mastering it will take some time. When I was new, it took me like 2 months to get familiar with the tools in my hand. But when you pass that frame of window, this is the only tool you ever need for project planning.

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera Cloud è un software, basato su moduli, ottimo per la gestione di un ampio portafoglio progetti.

Il software crea, inoltre degli ottimi Gantt che risultano facilmente condivisibili con terzi, al fine di esporre in modo chiaro la timeline di progetto ed i rilasci.

Nachteile

Ritengo che il software possa essere migliorato integrando una più ampia gamma di competenze delle risorse, al fine di migliorare i suggerimenti di allocazione.

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera Cloud è una software di project portfolio management che risulta utile nella gestione di progetti complessi e permette di ottimizzare l’allocazione delle risorse, garantisce una buon livello di misurazione delle performance dei progetti ed aumenta il livello di collaborazione dei team.

Un ulteriore punto di forza è la possibilità di gestire, in modo efficiente, le risorse disponibili in azienda allocandole in modo efficiente sui progetti, risorse sia umane che di capitali.

Nachteile

Oracle Primavera cloud non integra soluzioni di programmazioni CCPM, la programmazzione a catena critica oppur l’aggiornamento project management. Entrambi elementi necessari in un software della caratura di Oracle Primavera.

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera Cloud allows easy multiple Construction project activities tracking and the Accounting integration capability is perfect.Through this Oracle tool is quite simple on orders and also project changes management and the collaboration through the system through Cloud service is incredible.

Nachteile

This platform is not challenging on the first implementation and on my side i have no dislike or problems with the product.

Vorteile

What I value best about Oracle Primavera Cloud is the convenience of managing and integrating both project and portfolio planning, as well as the ease of handling risk mitigation, scheduling, and many other options all in one platform.

Nachteile

The one thing I don't like about Oracle Primavera Cloud is that the complete edition is a little too expensive. Oracle can look into this.

Vorteile

Very functional and gets project management fast and makes prioritizing easier and faster, also it's nice that you can visualize some timeline.

Nachteile

Not the most user friendly, when it comes to finding specific tools and options, takes time to get used to its system, it was not easy to navigate as a first timer without help from tutorials.

Vorteile

Accurate calculation and output data is perfect

Vorteile

This is my daily use of software as a project manager, this software has every feature required for project scheduling and tasking. The most important feature of Oracle Primavera is that it works depending on databases so you can work on many projects at the same time. I like the way it creates the critical path of a schedule and give you all the important calculations that you need automatically based on any updates or changes on the schedule.

Nachteile

This application is great and must be used by any project manager or planner but it is very expensive.

Vorteile

Most Planning Engineers have a good experience with this software. and the cloud version reduces the effort of installation and troubleshooting that's was a big effort.

Nachteile

The Price is very high, and when you need to upgrade to the cloud version the integration will be more hard than on-premise.

Vorteile

It's adaptable with regards to coordinating bunches of exercises, with one stage that permits clients to focus on, execute and screen their workA multiuser framework allows groups to work simultaneously on a similar venture across the association.Constant detailing gives significant information conveyed quick, either on-request or planned.The dashboard permits clients to deal with a solitary venture or even a portfolio, with incredible adaptability.Primavera P6 coordinates with Prophet and other outsider items.P6 can be utilized on different gadgets, for example, tablets and cell phones for access anyplace and whenever.P6 deals with Windows as a work area (or web application with the Undertaking choice).

Nachteile

The convoluted connection point of Prophet's Primavera P6 additionally turns obsolete and not upward to the plan and usability of its opposition.There's a precarious expectation to learn and adapt; not at all like different instruments, it can require as long as 40 hours to settle in on the gadget and that is with the utilization of specific coaches.Primavera P6 is for Windows just, which puts Macintosh clients vulnerable, making the instrument promptly restricted and denying entire businesses that sudden spike in demand for Apple items.P6 is awkward for more modest and less complex ventures, apparently intrigued exclusively in the bigger undertaking area.The client care could be better, essentially there is a great deal of jabber online from clients who feel the help needs to get to the next level.

Vorteile

The main thing WBS is seperated from the activties. You can add sub-activities and even the minor expenses like travelling and training costs. You can put in the percentage of completion in the sub-activities. Since it is EPPM software you can work on multiple projects. It's user defined controls and access makes it more easier to set roles and responsibilities to each and every OBS and activities and only allows multiple users to work at the set EPS & WBS level as per pemissions allowed.

I was once working on a Villa project and we had the option to set more than one relationship between two activities. You can also create resources as per composition based on the Schedule of Rates(SOR) from whichever region you are working from. It makes it more easier to assign for a particular project.

One another big benefit is that you can create 'n' number of Baselines as compared to other project management softwares. You can add risk and issues as well. Overall I feel Primavera P6 EPPM is a detailed project management software and you can work it at any verticals and horizontals.

Nachteile

What i don't like about this software is that it doesnt allow multiple entries on it's own based on the formulae set. Again you need to check out your project and schedule with correct date and time, well that is plus point definitely but in case you missed the proper date and time as per your working calender then it will affect the project at a minor level initially and major differences will be made if that remains ignored. Another drawback for it is that if you are working on a single project then it will require lot of detailing for WBS, OBS, EPS, Roles and responsibilities which can be unnecessary in some cases. You have to remember each and every detail wherever you are putting it.

Vorteile

- has everything required for project scheduling using critical path method (WBS, activities, cost and resource loading)
- Global change offers an unbelievably powerful solution to change thousands of activities on the fly.
- Can handle very large schedules that include tens of thousands of activities at ease.
- Works using databases rather than project files which makes it suitable for working on many projects and offers many types of databases (Oracle, SQL server, SQLite)
- supports single or multiple users
- now has the EPPM version which is cloud-based and has improved immensely over the years

Nachteile

- It shines for large and complex projects, for smaller and simpler schedules it tends to be more cumbersome.
- It requires a very good understanding of how the software and CPM work when analysing results. Otherwise; mistakes can be done easily
- While powerfull, the reporting feature of the Pro version (Standalone) looks antiquated in comparison to the EPPM cloud version.
- The standalone version has not received any important feature updates for years.
- Lacks the seamless integration with MS Office that MS Project has
- Requires IT assistance to migrate the database from one computer to another

Vorteile

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

its ability to integrate with the whole system of the company from management to purchasing, the ability to use it on a daily basis with all employees

Nachteile

it's hard to use and u should learn about it need a technician - IT admin - in the company to resolve any issue with other employees

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera is a comprehensive solution for Project Management needs, including features like WBS, OBS, activities, resources management, Earned Value Management and good reporting capabilities.

Nachteile

Primavera can be complex and not intuitive for non-experienced project managers. Several functions and features are not easy to find / implement.

Warum Oracle Primavera Cloud gewählt wurde

Zuvor genutzte Software

Vorteile

I love how easy is it to see linked attributes in the gantt chart. There is simple connecting and coloring that allows you to track exactly where you are on a program, project or task level. It is relatively easy to use. As long as you are familiar with Excel you should be able to use most of the basic features. The WBS structure is similar to other programs I've worked in and the ability to copy and past at different levels helps to speed up the setup of a project.

Nachteile

There are a ton of functionality with the software but I have found it difficult to get any instruction or help when I get into some of the more complex features. Googling is about your best bet when you have a questions about something. There have also been some issue when you switch between versions. New versions aren't able to connect to the older version's server and therefore do not have access to the other schedules.

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera Cloud is very user-friendly, has amazing management and scheduling tools which allows good coordination between the team and also save money and time.

Nachteile

The customer support could be improved and get more languages available.

Vorteile

It allows me to follow the planning process related to my work very well, clarify and correct the deficiencies. It is a program that I have been using since the beginning of my student period and it is an easy to understand and detailed program in terms of basic usage.

Nachteile

The only problem I've had for a long time is that I have to keep up to date with the exchange rates, and I have to constantly follow and update them.

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

The application structure is built according to PMI Standards and follows the processes exactly as described in PMBOK.

Nachteile

Time expent to configuration and implementation is high.

Vorteile

Primavera Cloud is really a good cloud-based application, earlier I used to have a system installed-based application but when the organization grows it becomes very difficult to buy more software on high cost .
But this cloud-based system solved that purpose.

Nachteile

I don't feel any such issue so far as I am using this from last 15 years.

Vorteile

Complex, but it is full fix with more powerful tools which can help for more accurate project planning, scheduling and monitoring purposes.

Nachteile

Tools are little Complex - need more training and practice
Undo feature is not enabled

Vorteile

It is best project management software, planning, scheduling, resource managing, controlling can be done for any project . Eventhough it is a complex analysis and process, It is not much difficult to use.
Some advance features like top-down scheduling, longest path critical activity definition , activity steps and etc are now available . VBA is not required to separate and material cost.

Nachteile

In my experience, It would be slightly difficult to adopt for beginner.

Vorteile

Oracle Primavera provides the flexibility to integrate different schedules while maintaining each on as a stand-alone schedule when needed. The ability to create different layouts, filters and baselines is a great feature to satisfy different requirements from our stakeholders. We use Springboard platform to access the software through a web connection adding additional flexibility and real time access. We had use the software with a peak of seven planners including two CM companies in a Green Field project with great success.
In addition, we are currently planning a shutdown and the ability to schedule using different calendars and resources has been very useful in identifying gaps and peaks in our plan.
The option to have multiple baselines is also useful to compare current schedule through different phases of the project.

Nachteile

Resources/progress graph and histograms are not as good as I am used to get from other application like Excel. Data export is not always as expected and some data manipulation is required in the other application (like Excel) to get the appropriate formats.
