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

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

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

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

powerful, multiple ES-FS, LS-ES, and many more ways of scheduling

Avantages

I used Primavera for so many years, it is a very strong scheduling software that has powerful functionality and allows you to generate sophisticated schedules.

Inconvénients

The only problem is it takes time to get familiar with all its functions. If you used it to teach students it will take time for them to understand it comparing to MS projects.

Avantages

Easy to learn and use. Great for reporting and managing big sets of data by all attributes.

Inconvénients

Import and export functions is kind of basic, it would be more useful if there are greater options.

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.

Avantages

- 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

Inconvénients

- 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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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)

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

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

Avantages

- 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

Inconvénients
