RE: PMS - MS Project vs Prima Vera and Alternative s

Just sharing a bit of more on Primavera... 1. Sure Primavera Project Planner (P3) is not cheap but then they have introduced the features of piecemeal rates based on usage. You don't even need to install all the huge backend files/ data. 2. Primavera has far more number of features and I mean good features. 3. It is also user friendly and the newer versions are better placed at that.
4. The number of activities that could be put in P3 is very large (don't remember exactly) and will definitely take care of the largest project. 5. The new versions are web-enabled and thus a lot of flexibility in terms of updating data. Many other good features have been added.

Regards,

Iqbal J

Steve,

Prima Vera is not cheap, and it is not easy to learn or as user-friendly as MS project (No undo button, dos file structure etc.) But if you want to do resource driven activity then Prmavera is the only way to go. You might want to take a look at Suretrak Project Manager as well before you make your decision.

Regards,

Zeki

Hi Rick

by far by who and where?

I heard the big boys use Prima Vera and lesser mortals use Project. I am a lesser mortal. A few of the big boys I spoke to use Prima Vera in-house but Project to clients because of software availability. Is this true or are they having me on? It wouldn't be the first time they have.

Cheers

Steve

PRIMAVERA is by far the most commonly used software in planning and cost scheduling tasks.

Cheers
