Resource Guru vs Oracle Primavera Cloud: Which is a better fit?

Tiffany: Hi, my name is Tiffany. I'm a project interface manager over at Hitachi Energy. Hitachi is part of a larger conglomerate Hitachi. I work specifically in renewable energy, working on the grid and energy design. And I would rate Oracle Primavera four stars. So before using Primavera, I was using Microsoft Project. I was also using Smartsheet and using Excel. I was using Primavera a bit more than the other softwares, given that it was also a contractual requirement from some clients, whether they were governmental, they would require your planning to be in Primavera. However, I also thought that Primavera was a stronger tool when it came to critical path analysis and using codification and linking it to Tableau Software. So sort of having a connected database. I use Primavera as a primary software over other softwares because I believe that it has a stronger critical path to analysis. I think it's also preferred in the engineering industry when it comes to waterfall planning methods. I also like the way it integrates with other softwares such as Tableau. I would actually say that when you're getting started with Primavera Cloud, it can be quite challenging. I think that Primavera is not an easy tool to learn. It's not easy to integrate in a team. It's also not easy to sell as a preferred software in a team of folks that don't know about Primavera. If there's another software that can be accepted by the client, I think that most people would prefer to use it. I think once you get going and understand it, it can be a stronger tool, but it's hard to get to that point. I think that if you're going to get started with Primavera Cloud, you should definitely understand how it works before implementing it into your team. You should have a key person on the team that understands the ins and outs of the softwares and understands the common bugs or blocking points that happen when building or operating a live project.
