Firstly my congratulations and thanks to Gary France for achieving a home for Powerproject Users… I raised the same questions when I joined the forum and more recently when the survey was under discussion. Obviously Gary you have the tact and diplomacy I lack!
There have been various discussions about reviews and popularity of software. As the market seems so well developed it is now rare to find independent contemporaneous reviews (ie. not publicity blurb from vendors). Hopefully the Planning Planet survey, if comprehensive, will throw some light on the subject of popularity at least. However I imagine that the majority of PP users will not go back to the original survey to enter their software experience.
Almost ten years ago, as part of postgraduate research, I carried out a survey of 210 UK construction related organisations that included a section on project management software used in the UK. The results then were:
CA SuperProject 15%
Artimis 15%
Plantrac 16%
Hornet 21%
OpenPlan 24%
Others 31%
Pertmaster 37%
Powerproject 52%
Coincidentally, I have just submitted a proposal to repeat the research, ten years on, which will include a new survey. I’ll keep you all informed of the results!
