Master complex project planning with superior scheduling and dependency mapping

The most valuable features of Microsoft Project include dependency mapping, completion ratios, and the ability to apply specific constraints or constraint types. This tool is the most accurate project management tool, allowing me to run a full set of project activities without having to switch between different tools for scheduling and other tasks.

Effective project coordination bridges field and office with real-time updates

It helps with project management. All the drawings and any changes to the drawings are uploaded to ensure that my team is looking at the most current versions. There is also reporting, allowing for the creation of reports in the field, including pictures and safety reports. You name it The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of this solution are the scheduling, managing the resources, budgeting, tracking the progress, viewing the progress, reporting, and it is very easy to use."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"The built-in dashboards are powerful because they show both project and overall progress."

"This tool is the most accurate project management tool, allowing me to run a full set of project activities without having to switch between different tools for scheduling and other tasks."

"Technical support has been very helpful."

"Microsoft Project integrates well with the Microsoft Office family of applications. It has plugins that interact with it and you can use it with Microsoft Teams. We can use plugins to communicate with JIRA, Projectplace, and Planview. It's not widely used in the company, of course, but it's something that can interact with the official tools that we have."

"Dependencies (not typically effectively used in "Agile" techniques) allow understanding of actual project status and challenges."

"I find all the features of the solution valuable."

More Microsoft Project pros

"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."

"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."

"Other companies have been using it for years, and it is a very stable platform."

Cons

"It should be easier to break things. Breaking up the visualization from the task is sometimes a little bit tricky to do. You can do it, but it takes a minute. It's not an easy function to do. The way you have to format it and stuff like that takes a minute."

"When moving resources between projects, it could be a bit more clear."

"Its reporting and its integration with some of the other related systems should be improved. It is not very easy to integrate."

"When I have too many elements or items in a project, it becomes cumbersome, especially during printing."

"Could be more user-friendly, and forecasting could be better."

"I would like to see an entire baseline, like in JIRA."

"The stability of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."

"When a project plan becomes huge, it is painful to arrange and structure the project in Microsoft Project. Currently, you require a separate product for managing agile projects, and people are using Jira and Rally to manage stories in agile. Primarily, on the software development side, people are kind of moving away from Microsoft Project."

More Microsoft Project cons

"It takes time to use it. It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."

"It would be nice if the tool can reduce its operational cost. It would make it more competitive."

"It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten since I feel it is a bit costly."

"It probably was $30 per license on a monthly basis. There is no additional fee."

"Its price could be reduced a little."

"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."

"You do not have to invest much in terms of configuring this solution to suit your needs."

"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is reasonable."

"I rate Microsoft Project's pricing a five out of ten."

"The solution is expensive."
