e-Builder vs. Primavera Unifier

e-Builder is well suited to situations where there are stakeholders across a large organization who need updates on a regular basis and great for tracking costs and schedule. It is less well suited to small projects with little complexity. It is also not well suited to projects with multiple primes

Primavera Unifier is well suited as a document management system for managing construction projects from all phases of the project (design through construction). Linking the application to other Oracle products like Oracle Financials is very straight forward and easy. Again, you build the framework of what you want the application to use. Not using Procurement, no problem, just throw it off. You have control of want you want and don't want. You are not forced to used everything.

• I appreciate the fully configurable dashboards. They are beneficial for both individual or company-wide use.
• Getting email alerts when documents are recently uploaded is helpful with staying on top of current submittal processes. Highly supportive in the process of getting items paid for in a timely fashion.
• Redundancy is easily reduced because e-Builder is helpful in standardizing different processes. Transparency is also emphasized, which keeps people on the same page.

• It would be great if EB can introduce an asset management module where we can tie assets to a project. This is the biggest issue I am currently having. If you can develop this, it would make Finance, Engineering, and Operations life easier. In addition, synchronize data out in field to EB for creating specific reports. For example, in water utility environment, knowing how much total linear feet of water line pipes were installed per day, per month, or per year. Furthermore, know what size pipe was installed.
• Help improve the Planning Module and make it more user friendly, similar to the updates made to Schedule Module
• Provide better reporting options on Dashboard Module. For example, allowing us to choose different types of charts, colors, etc.
• Improve the speed connection downtime which always happens around 1230am-2pm EST. EB really drags in speed when already logged in or having to log in to access the system.

Again, because our technical support is great. He doesn't always answer the phone but he definitely responds to emails fairly quickly. In addition, I like that he actually resolves an issue and I have yet to encounter the same issue twice. Actually, I haven't encountered many issues at all in the two years I have used the software.

Procore is much more user friendly and better for project management however there are features in e-Builder that I do not have access to that probably make it more attractive for owners as they deal with financial management of projects.

The cost sheet & cost management feature is best for tracking cost-related information. We can store document tracking Good by integrating with multiple external tools.
