How to Try or Buy Barbecana's Full Monte SRA and Schedule Inspector

Barbecana offers two separate products, and each has its own path to trial and purchase. Full Monte SRA has a Free Trial Downloads page and a "Purchase Full Monte SRA" page, while Schedule Inspector has its own Free Trial page and a "Buy Now" page. If you already hold a current maintenance and support agreement, you can obtain the latest Full Monte SRA release free of charge by contacting [email protected]. The site does not publish prices, so you will need to go through the purchase or sales contact flow to get actual figures.

The two products and what each one does

The distinction matters when you are deciding what to evaluate. Full Monte SRA is the risk analysis engine: it runs quantitative risk analysis within your existing Microsoft Project or Primavera P6 schedule, avoiding import/export steps and letting you publish results back into the source schedule. Schedule Inspector is a schedule quality verification tool. If your goal is realistic project forecasting under uncertainty, Full Monte SRA is the relevant product; if your goal is checking whether a schedule is built well, Schedule Inspector is.

Trying Full Monte SRA

1. Go to the Full Monte SRA section of the site and open the Free Trial Downloads page.
2. Download the trial software.
3. Run the analysis against a Microsoft Project or Primavera P6 schedule you already have, so you can judge how it fits your existing workflow rather than a sample file.

Expected result: you get hands-on access to the quantitative risk analysis features before committing to a purchase. The practical advantage to test for is the no-import/export workflow — results are published directly in the source schedule.

Note the current release: Full Monte SRA 3.8 Update 3 is available, and it includes a new optional install that does not require Administrator Rights. That matters if your IT environment restricts admin installs. Customers with a current maintenance and support agreement can get this release free of charge.

Trying Schedule Inspector

1. Open the Schedule Inspector section and go to its Free Trial page.
2. Download and run it against a schedule to see how it scores schedule quality.

Expected result: you can assess whether its quality checks match the standards your organization or client applies.

Purchasing

• Full Monte SRA: use the "Purchase Full Monte SRA" page.
• Schedule Inspector: use the "Buy Now" page.
• Questions, quotes, or maintenance matters: contact [email protected] or [email protected], or call (281) 971-9825.

Prices are not listed on the pages reviewed here, so treat the purchase pages as the starting point for a quote rather than a fixed checkout price. The site also lists an Academic Program for both products, which is worth checking if you are evaluating this in an academic context.

Who this software is built for

Barbecana states its software is used where realistic project forecasts are critical business requirements, and that it is trusted by major western Aerospace & Defense contractors, space agencies and private space companies, and major pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. If your projects fall in those categories — or anywhere a defensible quantitative schedule risk analysis is required — the tooling is aimed at you. If you only need lightweight schedule checking, Schedule Inspector alone may be sufficient.

Practical decision path

• Need quantitative risk analysis inside MS Project or P6 → trial Full Monte SRA first.
• Need schedule quality verification only → trial Schedule Inspector.
• Need both → trial both; they are separate products with separate purchase pages.
• Already a licensed customer with current maintenance and support → request the 3.8 Update 3 release from [email protected] at no charge.
• Restricted install rights → the new optional non-admin install in 3.8 Update 3 removes that blocker.
• Need pricing → contact sales, since no prices are published on the site.
