A stable solution that very accurately runs projects

Project availability and speed could always be improved. Most of the time, we get the target from the system. If there is a chance to improve the interface, then it should be implemented. Otherwise, our end users are satisfied with using our own interface. Reports could be pushed more quickly.

More Microsoft Project pros

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

Cons

"This solution needs more customization."

"It is a traditional Waterfall-based solution, so it doesn't lend itself particularly well to Agile development. You can record Agile sprints within it, but it is not really an Agile-based product. It can store the basic information about budgets that an Agile set of work is looking to use, but that's about it."

"Microsoft Project could improve the dates. Sometimes the dates are not aligned. This occurs even when you auto-schedule the dates. We have to go and define the schedule daily this should more easily accessible."

"It needs to be more comprehensive."

"Microsoft Project should provide better documentation regarding the usage of the solution."

"It would be better if the solution is integrated with other communication platforms like Microsoft Teams."

"The solution could be more flexible when it comes to integration."

"The solution could offer waterfall options for agile and sprint planning."

More Microsoft Project cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase perpetual licenses due to the high cost of subscriptions, which are about 1,000 Australian dollars."

"Licensing costs vary depending on the user volume. The pricing is good, I'd rate it four out of five."

"I am not involved with this."

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

"The solution is less expensive than other options."

"The solution is expensive."

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

"You only need a Team's license in order to use Microsoft Project within Teams, which is very helpful."
