Oracle Primavera P6

Tier A · Listed

Oracle's project scheduling and portfolio management software

Oracle Primavera P6 comes as P6 EPPM (enterprise, cloud or on-premises) and P6 Professional, which Oracle describes as built for large-scale, multifaceted projects. Oracle sells cost and business-process control separately in Primavera Unifier. In January 2026 Oracle announced that Red Sea Global had selected Primavera P6 together with Aconex.

Pros

+ Planning and scheduling across projects, programs and portfolios
+ Cloud or on-premises deployment (P6 EPPM)
+ Links to Oracle's Unifier, Analytics and Aconex products
+ Selected by Red Sea Global in January 2026 (per Oracle)

Cons

− No public prices found: quote from Oracle or a partner
− Needs a trained planner to run well
− More than a small contractor usually needs
− Not an accounting or ZATCA e-invoicing tool

Saudi Arabia note

P6 suits planners at main contractors, consultants and project owners who run detailed programmes; Red Sea Global is one Saudi owner that selected it. If a tender or contract names a scheduling format, check the exact requirement in that document before you buy.

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