Oracle Primavera P6

Tier A ยท Listed

Oracle's critical-path scheduling and project portfolio software

Primavera P6 is Oracle's project scheduling line: P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (EPPM), which Oracle offers on-premises or in the cloud, and the desktop P6 Professional. Oracle's documentation describes P6 Professional as designed for large-scale, multifaceted projects, with unlimited resources and target plans. Both products are documented up to version 26.

Pros

  • + Critical-path scheduling with unlimited resources and target plans (per Oracle)
  • + Portfolio and multi-project planning in P6 EPPM
  • + P6 EPPM runs on-premises or in Oracle's cloud
  • + Current release (version 26) documented on docs.oracle.com

Cons

  • โˆ’ No public prices: quote from Oracle or a partner
  • โˆ’ Built for professional planners; a learning curve for occasional users
  • โˆ’ More than a small firm's job schedule needs
  • โˆ’ Scheduling only: no accounting or VAT

United Arab Emirates note

If a client contract specifies the programme format or scheduling software, confirm the requirement before you buy. P6 handles scheduling only, so VAT records and invoicing stay in your accounting system.

Typical United Arab Emirates pricing: Quote-based; no public price list found.
