Pourquoi passer à Oracle Primavera Cloud

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

Initial loading takes a bot longer time.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.
