Collaborative task management simplifies office work, but agile methodology features need enhancement
In order to improve Microsoft Project Server, collaborative features could be enhanced, as it is possible to improve it in a collaborative way similar to other office products, for example, using cloud drives like OneDrive. Another feature is Kanban or other features such as Scrum with agile methodologies. Microsoft Project Server is limited and falls short in using agile methodologies, which is the most important issue to improve. Microsoft Project Server is a good product; it is possible to improve regarding enabling agile features because the teams in my work are using Trello and Jira products due to the blackboards, Kanban, and Scrum. To do activities and stopping activities is more comfortable and easier to use, making it more practical in my teamwork. These features do not exist in Microsoft Project Server.

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 usability is excellent."
"The best features of Microsoft Project Server are the online collaborative working capabilities, which enable collaborative online work."
"The solution runs smoothly, is quite stable and reliable, we don't really see bugs or glitches, there aren't crashes and it doesn't freeze, and we have been able to operate it without issues."
"This provides an enterprise version and a centralized environment, where every project manager is contributing and we are getting clear visibility of the projects we are running."
"Project Server allows us to have a clear visualization of the action plan and the milestone to be reached; to know which resources are dedicated to what."
"Microsoft Project Server is a powerful tool I've used for years."
"Using Power BI and SQL Server, I can extract a lot more data."
"Capacity management and task baselining are the most valuable features of Microsoft Project Server."
"The integrated portfolio and project management approach is the most valuable feature of Sciforma."
"I find Sciforma's customizability valuable."
"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."
"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

"It's very expensive to scale out."
"The solution could have more compact dashboards, such as one finds with Planview."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"I don't think it's very scalable. It's not that easy to navigate or scale up and down according to your needs."
"Stability of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"EPM 2010 UI seems a bit dated now that 2016 is available."
"There are certain shortcomings in the documentation part where improvements are required."
"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. 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."
"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'm not quite sure about the licensing costs. We're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of about 80,000 to 90,000 a year for our current on-prem because we handle our own licensing. As far as Project Online is concerned, we're still trying to get a good handle on that. It looks like it is going to be in a neighborhood of about 120,000 to 150,000 a year, but we're getting a lot more capability out of it."
"It has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
"It is an inexpensive product."
"The product is expensive."
"It's not subscription-based, we purchased the on-premises version."
"We have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft, and our licensing is based on the agreement."
"There is a licensing cost."
"The licensing was procured before my involvement."
"The solution's pricing is neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"I rate the pricing a four out of ten because Sciforma's rates are good."
