The problem with Primavera P6
Primavera P6 is a powerful tool — but designed for megaprojects and teams with dedicated support.
$1,500–$5,000 per user
Plus annual maintenance at 20% of license cost. No monthly plan or free option.
3–6 months to train your team
P6 has a complex interface that requires specialized training. Onboarding time destroys initial productivity.
English-only support
Documentation, forums and official technical support are almost exclusively in English. Not useful for non-English-speaking teams.
Mandatory local installation
The on-premise version requires your own servers, Oracle database licenses and infrastructure maintenance.
