Project Manager at Marvell Technology Group
Enables effective workload monitoring and data insights with powerful features
Microsoft Project Server is quite a powerful tool and offers a good way of seeing dependencies and interactions, along with baselines. The resource management feature allows us to monitor workload and resource load effectively. Additionally, the dashboards are amazing for data crunching and provide a project focus with upcoming predictions, including burn-up and burn-down charts.

A project management solution that can be automated to suit your needs
I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten because it's easy. We had to really understand the solution because it's huge, and we had to know which sections to bite off first. I might even rate the initial setup a nine out of ten if you know what you've got. Once we had all our data and our migration plan, it was quite easy. The challenge lies more with the organization than the system itself. Sciforma is one of the easiest tools to get going with from a technical point of view, but knowledge is key. Deploying the solution takes from six months to a year, depending on the level of data wanted. While deploying the solution, we have to first compile the user's requirements. Then we have to drop a baseline specification in parallel with a concept rollout. Based on what's in the concept, we pick from what the client understands to be the relevant portions, the minimum requirements. Then I convert it into a project execution plan and then execute the plan. After that, we have initial data collection for configuration and then final live data. Then we have the sign-off processes of different departments. There's a lot of upfront work to get the data prepared for transmission, and that is a big challenge. We did almost a thousand projects per year, so there were quite a lot of decisions to speed up the deployment process. The biggest challenge was to get our internal data organized and map it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The stability of the 2019 version is quite good."
"It brings all the information and all the data about our projects into one location and helps us provide holistic reporting and trends analysis across projects through the entire enterprise."
"The scheduling feature is the most useful."
"The ability to track a project's progress using Microsoft Project Server is the most valuable aspect. It depends, especially when managing multiple projects."
"I would recommend Microsoft Project Server to other organizations and would rate the solution ten out of ten."
"The solution is very good at helping you pick which project to move forward with."
"The dependency management in Microsoft Project is highly valuable, as it visually maps dependencies and impacts within a project plan."
"Microsoft Project Server is easy to use compared to other similar solutions, such as Primavera, and it functions similar to Excel or other Microsoft solutions which makes it simple for most people to be able to use right away."
"It makes it more fun to work with a modern designed and easy-to-use solution as a team and not add or analyze data alone. Internal, external, home office, remote work, desktop, mobile (available on iOS and Android), are always connected to One2Team."
"I find Sciforma's customizability valuable."
"The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."
"ONE2TEAM revolutionizes the way of working: The cloud based solution for project and portfolio management with very strong collaboration functionality lets executives and team members access their work environment anytime, anywhere to monitor program status, act, and complete a personalized checklist of tasks without the need to send emails or create presentations, simply working together in a dashboard."
 

Cons

"I'd like it if we could divide out the project calendars."
"The reporting aspects can be improved, which is one of the reasons why I'm using Qlik Sense. In the older on-prem versions, reporting was lackluster, to say the least. Project Online has a better handle on that. However, we will still be using Qlik Sense. We're also looking at an add-on app from a company called OnePlan that adds some additional functionality where Microsoft is not as clean in its approach for things such as portfolio management and some of the trends analysis."
"Risk and issues are stored in the project SharePoint but there is no real auto communication of assignments; there is no mechanism for automatic escalation (much needed)."
"The solution is stable for small projects but when used for larger projects it can become heavy and slow to load and operate."
"It would be useful if the solution allowed us to share files or project schedules. You may get that with the cloud version. However, it's not available on the on-premises versions."
"In terms of the performance, I think it's something that took a big toll on the service when a lot of people logged in finally, so that's something that can be improved in the future."
"I think that earned value calculation could be improved, and also the relationship between time and cost, that sometimes does not allow adjustments during execution."
"It may be considered expensive."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution. AI is with its unique ability to monitor patterns, is a capable assistant for project managers. Artificial intelligence is being used to help with project organization on a collection of different data from multi-data sources."
"The solution's graphical user interface (GUI) is a bit old and could be improved."
"For the future AI (Artificial intelligence) must be part of a modern solution."
"The report developer needs a bit of streamlining."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"Microsoft Project Server is relatively cheaper than other products."
"We have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft, and our licensing is based on the agreement."
"A standard license is cheaper, but if you want more features, then there is a premium license or professional license."
"There is a licensing cost."
"The technical assistance is expensive but the solution is an open source software."
"I cannot comment on the price as I was not responsible for purchasing the solution."
"We pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."
"I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."
"The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
