Microsoft Project Reviews

Microsoft Project is ubiquitous, and as such extra training is usually not required. The average person is already a user.

As time has gone by, the competition has improved more then Microsoft Project. There is open source SW which is more intuitive and easy to use.

It is a great software for group projects. The entire team can work on different aspects of a project including risk management, budget allocation, time allocation and more aspects.

There is a learning curve until you master the software. So it is great for those whose job is working in projects but there will be an onboarding timeframe.

I like the easy organization of tasks and being able to filter to see which tasks are assigned to which person.

I would like to be able to make adjustments to how often email reminders are sent for tasks that are due.

Great tool for Project Managers, lots of options, great support and very common used in the market.

It has the usual Microsoft problems: A bit heavy to use, feels like driving a tank with bicycle pedals. Also not the most expensive, but not cheap indeed.

Project is widely used in my industry, so familiarity between projects is a bonus.

The MS Project interface is limiting, and difficult to understand without putting effort into experimentation.

Hard to say. Honestly it is a tool you are forced to use more than a tool you have pleasure to use. You have to used it when working on highly regulated markets and managing traditional large teams in waterfall projects. It has all the features you need to manage a big project, and I particularly appreciate the possibility of managing sub-projects in the same file.

The reporting features lag behind many other competitors. It is buggy if you try to do complex reports with big gantt files. Also, there is little room for customisation of the gantt bar if you want to build attractive graphics. I would also appreciate if Microsoft could integrate Copilot into MS Project to help with analysis.

The project and portfolio management software has enabled us to maximize revenues and return on investment. This software is easy to use.

I haven't had any challenges with this platform.

Microsoft Project boost productivity in my organization by automating over 90% of manual task and project procedures.

I have not come across any better choice than Ms Project. It has served me well for over a decade without issues.

I like how easy it is to use & that it is integrated with other Microsoft products.

It was a bit lean to be used as a full service PM tool, but for smaller teams, to dos, and simple projects it's great.

Microsoft Project applications are easily accessible from the MS Office Store and Sharepoint Store and can be used to increase the product's functionality, such as Custom Dashboards etc. The main advantage is large database and well-written documentation, questions and issues can be readily answered within the community. On the other hand, Microsoft offers effective technical help.

Although the use is flawless, the configuration is not the easiest, however once configured. User management is difficult and time-consuming.

Highly recommend for larger companies with many locations nationwide.

Sometimes took longer to figure out programs working with the projects at hand.

Microsoft Project offers the most robust project, task and resource management capabilities unlike any other PPM tool.

Everything works perfect for me whenever I turn to Ms Project.

Microsoft Project allows me to save time by automating workflow in real-time.
Project and task management are the key features which I enjoy using.

Unfortunately, Microsoft Project does not encompass offline access and forms.

One of the best project management tool i have ever used, its very easy to leaarn and doesnt requires much time to learn when you are a new bee. I like two main features like Gantt chart and WBS, this makes project planning effective.

At times sync betwween central server is slow and it takes time to reflect on other systems. One more thing , it misses the compare feature , for example i want to migrate my existing project maually to a new system. Then i will perform a export function and save a .mpp file. When this file is imported to new system , i would expect two windows of the project, to compare and cross check that import has been performed correctly.

The implementation of the Microsoft Project was easy. The solution is very powerful to plan, execute, and track projects. What I love most is the capabilities to include project planning, scheduling, resources management, task tracking, reporting, and collaboration tools.

"The basics are easy to use and understand, but it is amazing how many features and abilities this software has that go beyond basic project management."

Microsoft has the most robust tools with robust backend integration capability.
I like that it streamlines project portfolio management in real-time.

I slightly dislike that Microsoft Project has outdated features and the vendor lag behind on version control.

Use it, particularly for the breakdown of a project for more granularity of the project details .
MS project allows to create timelines,set milestones, and allot activities to the right member of the team using the inbuilt charts and also allows to track progress

The extensive set of features makes it less suitable for simple projects for complicated projects with multiple milestone,long timelines and lots of team members it is highly suitable.

Ease of use, no issue with setting up a project or customization of each part. Very easy to see the cascading tasks inside and who is responsible

Really seems like waterfall is the only approach, it didn't work for me in an agile scenario
