Where Primavera P6 wins
Standard for large projects
P6 is widely specified on large projects, and some government clients and large contractors require P6 schedules.
Resource levelling depth
P6 provides resource levelling, multiple calendars and earned value for complex schedules.
Track record on large projects
P6 has a long track record on large infrastructure, energy and mining projects.
Where TaskRox wins
Right-sized for mid-market
P6 is often more scheduling system than a mid-market team needs. The TaskRox Gantt module calculates the critical path and supports all four dependency types (finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, start-to-finish), lag, and per-project working-day calendars.
Full platform, not just scheduling
P6 is a scheduler. TaskRox has 49 platform features, including documents, RFIs, QA, HSE, site diary, budget, Kanban and messaging.
Mid-market right-sized pricing
TaskRox is priced per billable user in AUD on the public pricing page, with no enterprise sales process.
Browser-based
TaskRox runs in a web browser with no desktop installation.
Self-serve
Teams can sign up at taskrox.com and start a 14-day free trial without a credit card or a sales call.
Choose Primavera P6 if
You are on a large project where P6 is contractually required, you need resource levelling across many resources, or your client requires native P6 .xer file exchange.
Choose TaskRox if
You manage mid-market projects that do not need P6's depth, and you want CPM scheduling and the rest of the delivery platform in one place, with the whole team on the same platform.
Switching path
TaskRox imports Primavera P6 (.xer) schedule files into the Gantt module. The imported programme then sits in the same project as documents, RFIs, QA and HSE records.
