Easy to procure with efficient project tracking with valuable resource allocation

Beneficial reminder feature, efficient work flow, but should be more inclusive

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Project is the reminder feature. This feature allows for the system to send notifications or reminders to individuals who have a task to complete once someone has finished their task. This has been especially useful in situations where multiple people are involved in a task. For example, if I have completed my task and the next person is just beginning, the system will send them a reminder to notify them of my completion. This feature has proven to be very beneficial and convenient for me in my tasks."

Cons

"In a future update, the system should be more inclusive and open to everyone, not just limited to one organization. For example, there may be instances where we want to bring in a guest from outside our organization and integrate them into our project. It would be beneficial if the system was more accessible and easy to integrate with other projects. Additionally, it would be great if there was a way to receive notifications, regardless of whether they come from a Gmail domain or another domain, to keep us informed of any incoming tasks."

A project management software with a valuable Kanban diagram feature

Pros

"The most valuable feature is probably the Kanban diagram. People are familiar with the Kanban tools. When they do their scrum meetings, they have that Kanban board where you can see the different tiles for all the queries and move them from left to right. IT is familiar with that because, for development, most of the tools have that capability. It could also be more graphical, like Asana."

Cons

"It would be better if there were more access to Agile implementations. "

Supports integration with Jira and Grafana but needs improvement in integrations and automation

Pros

"We value all the features. Previously, we used Jenkins for similar purposes, but Microsoft Projects works fine. We're looking to improve integration with different clusters on production and automate various aspects of software development. This includes integration for alerting, monitoring, and pricing purposes, among other things. "

Cons

"The tool's deployment is complex. Integration and automation also need to be improved. "

The timeline is integrated seamlessly, but it lacks the ease of use and scalability of a cloud-based tool

Pros

"Microsoft Project's integrated timeline is tied to the project plan almost seamlessly, and you add whatever action item or milestone you choose. All you have to do is set up a column and click on the timeline. It will automatically put it in there and allow you to choose the type, whether it's a bar or if it's a milestone, just pointing out that single milestone"

Cons

"Project is not easy to scale. It isn't a cloud-based solution where everybody can utilize it at the same time without version issues when you save your file. We use it at the enterprise level, but you have to share the files to others within your organization through Teams or SharePoint. One improvement would be to transition to cloud-based functionality. However, that might limit the functionality in other ways. "

An amazingly stable solution offering its users valuable features for time and budget tracking

Pros

"Time tracking and budget tracking are the most valuable features of the solution."

Cons

"The solution's interface seems to be an outdated one. So, I would like its interface to be improved."
