I downloaded the Suretrak demo from primavera, installed it and played around with it for a couple of hours today. I think I found at least two bugs in that short time.
Bug 1: After some time "planning" I suddenly got two copies of every activity. The linking between the activities was completely messed up.
Bug 2: I tried to group two plans together, with disastrous results. My plan was using tasks and sub-tasks, and the nice outline view showed the structure of the project. After grouping the projects together, all structure disappeared. All tasks where at the same level.
Now my question: I am new to Suretrak, and I "clicked on everything", so I might have done a few stupid things, but these errors where so severe that I don’t want to buy SureTrak before other tells me that the software is usable for serious project management. Is it buggy, or did I just strike bad luck?
I can’t afford the real Primavera P3, so I am stuck with Suretrak, or something similar.
