"In the competitive landscape of project management and portfolio management solutions, Microsoft Project Server stands out significantly."
"The ability to track a project's progress using Microsoft Project Server is the most valuable aspect. It depends, especially when managing multiple projects."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period."
"We use the tool in our IT-related projects. All IT efforts are managed using the Microsoft Project Server. Every week, we have a project status meeting where we demonstrate the project's status using the tool. We track tasks and progress, assign owners, and monitor milestones and all project-related work using it."
"We are able to know what we are doing, how much we have spent, how much time we've taken, and it tells us how much money is left for the project. It also tells us whether we are below or above our expenditures, whether we are below or above our budget."
"The interface is user-friendly. It's one of the most user-friendly on the market, and the most complete."
"You don't need a lot of plugins."
"The PPM module is an excellent service."
"We like the status report feature. It is something really valuable."
"The performance is good."
"The resource manager is useful."
"The feature I find the most valuable is the one that lets you see how much time has been used in processing a ticket. This allows us to better monitor performance."
"Stable and scalable solution."
"The solution could have more compact dashboards, such as one finds with Planview."
"EPM 2010 UI seems a bit dated now that 2016 is available."
"It has to be more user-friendly. For instance, there should be some assistance, like when you go to certain sites, people pop up and say, "Can we help you? What are you looking for?" It's not interactive enough."
"Resource management has room for improvement because it uses a lot of resources."
"Work needs to be done on collaboration with SharePoint."
"The deployment aspect of the product is a bit tedious."
"It is not updated in real-time. Sometimes it, therefore, is not accurate."
"I'd like it if we could divide out the project calendars. On one project server, we might follow five projects or more at one time, and we'd like to see all of the items at once so that it becomes a long loop, but one where we can identify different projects in tandem and then focus on which we need to at the time. While I only have visibility into one, I'd like to see several at a time."
"The product does not give us the freedom to capture all the instances, test cases, and evidence."
"The interface isn't user-friendly."
"ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management could improve by having more Agile features. Other solutions, such as Rally have more."
"ServiceNow IT Business Management could improve by adding better artificial intelligence."
"I would like to see some artificial intelligence incorporated into the management functions."
"When we import a really big project with a lot of tasks on it, we face some issues with dependencies. The links between tasks are not working very well. There is definitely room for improvement there. Microsoft Project, in my opinion, is the best option for such a use case."
"ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management must improve its interface, which is not very interactive or user-friendly compared to other tools like Zendesk. The real-time reporting feature doesn't help much in our decision-making process. It's quite complex to use and lacks the rich features needed for visualization. Overall, I find it to be very poor."
"The user interface could be more modern."
