Md.  Kamruzzaman - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Taha Khaleel - PeerSpot reviewer
A flexible, stable, and scalable tool requiring an easy initial setup phase
The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution. With the buttons or the options on the screen in Teamwork, it is important to provide users with a little description of what each option does so that it helps you do your work easily without focusing on the interface.

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 Microsoft Project include dependency mapping, completion ratios, and the ability to apply specific constraints or constraint types."
"Time tracking and budget tracking are the most valuable features of the solution."
"The Gantt chart view is great."
"It is very stable. I haven't had any kind of issues with it. It is also very scalable."
"Dependencies (not typically effectively used in "Agile" techniques) allow understanding of actual project status and challenges."
"We value all the features. Previously, we used Jenkins for similar purposes, but Microsoft Projects works fine. We're looking to improve integration with different clusters on production and automate various aspects of software development. This includes integration for alerting, monitoring, and pricing purposes, among other things."
"The solution is very useful for project planning."
"I like that I can change the task and include different resources related to the task."
"It is a very stable solution...The initial setup of Teamwork is easy."
"The setup was very easy. Deployment was very fast for us. We started using it within two weeks."
"Teamwork has made process management easier and much better. It is very robust and improves by making a lot of changes. It is easy to use and has lots of reports."
 

Cons

"The solution is currently a bit slow and can be faster."
"When you start getting into the more advanced features, it can become unstable. The more you use the advanced features, the more exposure you have to an unanticipated result. I think we need to add the Kanban Board capability to the product that would help them advance that board into the project management methodology that's being used in the industry today. Being able to depend on Scrum management is key."
"The technical support could be improved. They are okay, however, they could be much better."
"I would like to see a direct integration of Microsoft Project with AutoCAD. It will make client presentations easy."
"The Gantt set needs to be improved. The grid lines needs to be more interactive."
"Microsoft Project should provide better documentation regarding the usage of the solution."
"Microsoft Project could improve the interface, it should be more intuitive. It could be adjusted a little bit to make it a little easier to use and more user-friendly. It is a very powerful tool and it takes people a while to get used to it."
"The solution could be more flexible when it comes to integration."
"The product is expensive. It needs to have a more robust and customizable calendar."
"The screen sharing provided by the solution can be a challenge to a user. Screen sharing is an area that needs improvement in the solution."
"The product could be improved with more integrations and a mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not have personal experience with pricing or licensing of this product."
"You do not have to invest much in terms of configuring this solution to suit your needs."
"Licensing costs vary depending on the user volume. The pricing is good, I'd rate it four out of five."
"The license is a one-time payment but it is expensive."
"I rate Microsoft Project's pricing a five out of ten."
"We purchase perpetual licenses due to the high cost of subscriptions, which are about 1,000 Australian dollars."
"It probably was $30 per license on a monthly basis. There is no additional fee."
"I do not remember the exact cost we paid but usually, they charge per user per month."
"We negotiate on pricing since we are a long-term user."
"My company makes annual payments towards the licensing costs of the solution."
