Oracle Primavera P6

Tier A · Listed

Oracle's project scheduling and portfolio management software

Oracle Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (P6 EPPM) is Oracle's software for planning, scheduling and managing projects, programs and portfolios. Oracle's documentation says it runs on-premises or in the cloud, and version 26 is the newest release in its library. It is built for large, schedule-driven projects, not for small-firm admin or accounting. Oracle also sells a separate cloud product, Oracle Primavera Cloud.

Pros

+ Plans and schedules projects, programs and portfolios
+ On-premises or cloud deployment
+ Actively updated (version 26 in Oracle's library)
+ Handles portfolios, not only single projects

Cons

− No public price found this run; quote from Oracle or a partner
− Scheduling and project control only, not accounting or ERP
− More than a small contractor needs for simple jobs
− Takes trained planners to run well

Bahrain note

Mainly worth it when a Bahrain client or main contractor asks for schedules in P6 format. It does not handle invoicing, VAT or bookkeeping, so pair it with an accounting tool.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Quote-based through Oracle or a partner; no price could be confirmed on Oracle's pages this run.

Zoho (Books)

Tier S · Published prices

Cloud accounting with a Bahrain edition, VAT reports and published prices

Zoho Books is cloud accounting from Zoho with a Bahrain edition that applies VAT to sales and purchases and produces VAT reports for filing, in English or Arabic. Zoho publishes Bahrain prices in USD, from a free plan for small businesses up to an Ultimate plan. It handles invoicing, bookkeeping and project time billing, not construction management.

Pros

+ Bahrain edition with VAT reports for filing
+ Published Bahrain prices and a free plan
+ English and Arabic interface
+ Projects with time and expense billing

Cons

− Accounting, not construction management
− No construction BOQ or job-costing module listed
− Extra users cost $2.5-$3 a month each
− Free plan ends above 50K USD revenue a year

Bahrain note

Zoho runs a Bahrain edition with VAT reports and Arabic, and its Bahrain prices are lower than its US prices. Run it alongside a site or project tool rather than expecting it to manage jobs.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Published in USD on Zoho's Bahrain site, per organisation per month, billed annually: Free $0 (revenue under 50K USD a year), Standard $15 (3 users), Professional $25 (5 users), Premium $35 (10 users), Elite $85 (10 users), Ultimate $200 (15 users). Billed monthly: $18, $30, $42, $99 and $249. Extra users $2.5 a month billed annually ($3 monthly). Prices exclude local taxes; 14-day free trial.
