"Primavera Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Oracle Primavera?

Primavera allows the ability to create, manipulate and modify a large number of activities for proper viewing in the project management environment. It is hard to beat P6 as a project management tool for planning, scheduling, and overall management of a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Primavera?

Like other comprehensive and powerful tools, there is a learning curve to using the application, which requires training to master. It is hard to fault P6 for the features it provides, and I am sure further iterations of the program will improve on an already great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle Primavera P6 - the highest standard in Project Management Software"
5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Primavera?

P6, as it is now named and used for decades, originates from P3 - Primavera Project Planner, initially DOS, then becoming WINDOWS application, generated to support Project Managers since early days in 1982. This long-lasting tradition makes it bugs-free and reliable, robust, and most of all - fit for purpose, widely used by planning practitioners who do not want a toy or a drawing tool, but the real-life support for their work and their valuable projects or clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Primavera?

The feeling of mimicking some other, cheaper and not-so-versatile, but declared as "not so difficult like P6" software, makes it inclining to the market of non-professionals. The use of terms like "Start" and "Finish" that is understandable and suitable "for dummies" instead of "Early Start" and "Early Finish" tends to bring it closer to the general public. An average user of Office App is not by any means the target user of any serious application, neither having the need nor the knowledge of any planning process or techniques.

"Solid, Serious, and Modern Planning & Scheduling Software"
4/5
What do you like best about Oracle Primavera?

This review is for P6 PPM, which is the desktop client version. As far as planning and scheduling software is concerned, Primavera P6 is SERIOUS. For example, P6 utilizes a Critical Path Method (CPM) engine and allows more than one relationship between two activities. Primavera P6 is also SOLID - allows for detailed analysis after resource loading (labor, non-labor, cost) so that the user can compare planned resource requirements against the organization's capacity to determine achievability. Primavera P6 is also MODERN. Oracle regularly releases new updated versions. Furthermore, with the advent of BIM methodology, software integration is the talk of the day - to which Primavera P6 can seamlessly integrate with other leading 4D software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Primavera?

Graphical reports generated directly from Primavera P6 look outdated compared to some current offerings in the market - hence why many P6 users resort to exporting P6 raw data to spreadsheets to generate S-Curves, resource histograms, and even dashboards. The Report wizard is initially a welcome feature until one tries to amend such a report - it requires a steep learning curve. Other than that Primavera P6 is a well-rounded planning and scheduling software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle P6 Primavera is complete Project management software."
5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Primavera?

The best thing about Oracle P6 Primavera is, this is the only complete Project management software.

I have learnt primavera by myself through Learning and Training videos by Oracle Learning website / Youtube channel.

I would say that is also one of the thing I like the most. because , whenever I want to know / recolect what I have earnt, It is always recommended to go to oracle learning that gives the updated information about the product and how to use its new features.

Also, I feel the certification programme by Oracle is very much motivating and challenging.

I would like to appreciate the Earned value management feature in Oracle P6 Primavera which is giving the most accurate metrics about the ongoing project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Primavera?

Oracle P6 mobile has limited features. It would be better ifproject tracking and controlling features are also incorporated in primavera mobile application.

Earned value management metrics are required by Project managers in their mobiles. This is the what I think is the gap that to be taken cared of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
